Magical Retriever

[msbirdyskids21]

I have been collectiing Webkinz trading cards for a long time. I have all the big prizes from series one and two. I also have had all the items from all four sets of cards. But I have traded many.

But the one thing I want most of all is a Magical Retriever! I have tried and tried. Bought packs and packs of cards. I think it is great to have rare pets. BUT maybe after a year or so Ganz could run some contests. Or even make it like a one day a year chance to buy the pet in the estore.

Just wondering what everyone else thinks about this? I will keep on buying series three when I find them. And just keep wishing!

The e-store? thats NOT fair to every1 who tyhinks the e-store is a waste (i do!) but yeah some contests would be nice huh?

Yes, The e-store would be nice, but then it wouldn't be so rare anymore if you could get it at the estore. Even if it was one time only. People would be begging their parents to buy it or whatever.
That's just my opinion though.

No, not really, the Magical Retriever is a special prize. Some people get it by extreme luck. But some people (Hopefully you!) get it by buying TONS of trading cards... I think it would take away the specialness of the magical retriever to sell it in the Estore or have a contest for one.

Thanks everyone for your comments. You are all right! The more I think about it. It would take away from how special that pet really is !

Why not just buy one off e-Bbay?... They have come way down in price and it's very safe and easy... And speaking as someone who did spend the time and money into pulling a Magical Retriever from a pack when series #3 was first released... I think it would ruin the value and the rarity of the Magical Retriever... As much as i would love to buy a Cheeky Dog... I would not want Ganz to re-release any of their retired Webkins... It would ruin the "chase" factor... It would sort of take the fun out of it if they just gave us everything we wanted... There would be nothing else to look for or trade for... That is untill the next new Webkinz get released...LOL... PEACE!

This summer I watched three magical retriever cards on ebay that were all won by the same buyer. The three went for $455, $455.00, and $167.50. On the third auction, the main competitor gave up trying to bid against him. I suspect the winner may have been willing to pay the same high price if anyone bid more. Right now there is one on ebay that has a high bid of $152.50 with 2 1/2 days left, and so far the winner mentioned above has not placed a bid.

I'm not sure you will choose to buy from ebay, but I hope this info helps. I purchased a box of series three TC around the same time these auctions were going and had found a magical retriever card in that box. But if you are only looking for the one card, ebay may cost less in the end.

I really hope you find your magical retriever.

LOL LOL LOL LOL I AM THE ONE BIDDING ON THE CURRENT RETRIEVER CARD!
I put my last bid in for $155.00 last night That is as high as I can go.
So I am crossing my fingers I woud really like a Harry Potterkinz

I love the trading cards. But I have completed both sets series three and four and no magical or mystical pets yet. They are also hard to find here now, the cards

I was so excited to see this card on ebay. As of last look I am still the highest bidder

Wish me luck!

Ya it is better to just keep buying trading cards because if they had it at the estore for just 1 day a lot of people would buy it and it wouldn't really be a rare webkinz anymore.

I disagree with the eStore idea but I do like the idea of a webkinznewz contest. Many webkinz fansites have had Magical Retriever contests. There was one here on WI a few months ago and I also had one on my site as well. I think it is time for webkinznewz to do the same. I would love a chance to win one myself. I don't have one either.
