Webkinz Signature

If you're looking for that perfect last-minute Christmas gift for your favorite Webkinz fan, there's no better place to shop than Ameriwade, Webkinz Insider's partner store.  For the next few days, Ameriwade is featuring special rates on Signature Webkinz and eStore pets/items.  There is still time to place an order and have it arrive at a USA location by Christmas.  Just make sure to get your order in before Noon, Pacific Time, on Tuesday, December 20.  

 

As always, shipping is still a low $5 per order, customers who pay with credit cards are not charged until their orders ship, and a portion of every sale made online at www.Ameriwade.com goes to supporting Webkinz Insider.

 

Ganz has just announced that the Signature Webkinz for December 2011 is going to be the Signature Arctic Fox.  Look at all that fluffy white fur!  This plushie is much more detailed than the regular Arctic Fox that was released in April 2009.  This pet will be joining the Arctic Polar Bear, Bubblegumasaurus (plush), Darling Dino, and Sterling Cheeky Cat on store shelves in December.

 

All of the December 2011 plushies will be availabe for pre-order at Webkinz Insider's partner store, Ameriwade, starting on Thursday, October 27.  Don't forget that Ameriwade features $5 flat rate shipping to the USA and Canada, no matter how large your order is, shoppers who pay with credit cards are not charged until their orders ship, and a portion of every sale made online at www.Ameriwade.com goes to supporting Webkinz Insider.

The good news is that the Ameriwade pre-sale for the October 2011 products has begun!  The bad news is that, due to Ganz cutting retailer inventories short, Ameriwade is not able to sell all of the products scheduled for release.  At this time, Ameriwade is pre-selling the Signature Pot Bellied Pig, the Domino Cat (November's POTM), and the Orca Whale with Caring Valley Tag.  Ameriwade also has a large selection of Adventure Park pets for sale, several of which are ready to ship immediately.

 

Ameriwade features $5 flat-rate shipping to the USA and Canada, no matter how large your order is, and a portion of every sale made online at www.Ameriwade.com goes to supporting Webkinz Insider.

   

If you were hoping to add one of the September Webkinz to your collection, you may want to consider placing a pre-order with your local retailer.  The news has come in from our Retail Partner, Ameriwade, that Ganz has once again reduced the inventory of plushie pets.  Ganz is only allowing retailers to order a handful of each plushie per location.  This may not be as noticable at larger chains, who can shuffle their inventories around, but smaller chains, and single stores, are feeling the pinch.

 

As a result, Ameriwade will only be able to pre-sell three of the September plushies:  the Signature Black Footed Ferret, the Webkinz Black Cat (October POTM), and Caring Valley-tagged Webkinz Dachshunds.  The Ameriwade pre-sale is expected to begin later today.  Remember, Ameirwade features $5 flat-rate shipping, customers who pay with credit cards aren't charged until their orders ship, and a portion of every sale made online at www.Ameriwade.com goes to supporting Webkinz Insider.

In early March 2011, Ganz announced that they were "bidding farewell" to the Signature Endangered Webkinz.  They said that the Endangered Red Panda would be the last pet in the line.  

 

Then, just a few days ago we brought you a report from Webkinz Insider member violinbeauty who had just purchased and adopted a Spotted Jaguar.  According to the pet's tag, it is a Signature Endangered pet.  

 

Now, we have confirmation from WI member Denimbutterfly, who adopted a Jaguar today, that the pet is showing up in Webkinz World as an Endangered pet.  Although she did not receive a Sanctuary Pack with special Walls or Floors, she did receive a Wish Token and an Endangered Exclusive item  We also have reports that Ganz is running advertisements in Webkinz World showing the Jaguar as an Endangered pet.  All previous mentions of the Jaguar by Ganz had indicated that it was a Regular Signature.

 

As confusing as all of this is, we know that many Webkinz players will be thrilled to have one last shot at the amazing Endangered Exclusive items that come with this very special line of pets.

 

Thanks to WI member PoliceProperty for letting us know that a phone call to Ganz is all it takes, to have the Wall/Floor Sanctuary Pack manually placed in your dock. You can find the Ganz phone number in our WIKI.
