webkinz cheats
Back in September 2009, several clothing items were "retired" from the wShop.  Now one of those items has returned as KinzStyle clothing.  The Snowboarding Toque is now available as a hat for Webkinz plushies.  Players entering the feature code off of the hat will receive a virtual version for their online pet.  At this point it is not clear if the Snowboarding Toque will be available for purchase in Persephone's Shop or if it will only be available with the feature code, like the Red Sports Pants, Red Santa Kinz Outfit, and Wheel of WOW Shirt.
 
Several new items of KinzStyle clothing are available for sale at Webkinz Insider's Partner Store, www.ameriwade.com.  Ameriwade features $5 flat-rate shipping to the USA and Canada, and a portion of every sale made their site goes to support Webkinz Insider.

I think this stinks....there was a certain value on this item, and now it's most certainly changed.

Let's just be glad they did it now, and not later. Since it's been 8 months or so since the Snowboarding Toque was last sold, that gives it a WIGEV of 2500-5000. Making it Kinzstyle, if you compare it to the other hats, would most likely give it a WIGEV of 2500-4500. So, as of right now, you're not really losing value. The unfortunate part is that it changes it from a dynamic item that will go up in value over time to one that is static, and the value will not change over time.

This makes me mad that it's not retired anymore. I traded a lot for that cap.

True, which makes it disappointing if you're a collector of retired items

Yea another not so retired item showing up again! As usual Ganz has no concept of the word, "retired." For them retired means re-release at any moment in the near future.

One would think they'd do a better job of duplicating it. The caps bear absolutely no resemblance to one another IMHO.

Retired means retired.

Rats..I thought retired was retired..and no longer available for purchase anywhere!!! Ganz needs to clarify the whole retirement thing!!! For the most part..these so called retirements just make me mad...since so many show up again in the e-store!! Thanks as always for the update!!

This makes me sad. This items value will drop a bit, and how come Ganz thinks they can turn retired into currently available! They did the same thing with the Pink Studded Shades. What is going to come next? Plumpy's Glasses being kinzstyle?

I agree with many of the posters in this thread. As someone who is just getting into collecting rare and retired WW objects, this would make me upset if I had made significant trades to get this item.

I have recently purchased 2 other "retired" clothing items. The red football jersey and the stone washed jeans. So I guess they are making them all available.

They should bring back something more meaningful, like sought after items but for a limited time.

I love this unlike most of you. There are still tons of items that are retired & rare that you can still try to find in the trading room.
