I know. I've been here since 2007. When did you first start webkinz?

i think its just thatthe signature are limited edition and they are only around for a little while... i would like one, but its official, they are over priced. maybe if they were about 20$ instead of 25-30$ maybe i would buy one :rbt:

Well my mom is buying a Webkinz Jr. for my cousin for her birthday. I figure, it only comes once a year!

Cool! And, xxaeroxx, I guess they are expensive, because they are bigger, and you get signature items, which some people are looking for, in trading rooms, and extra special, but I say regular webkinz pets are special also.. I care for all my pets, I love them all.

Ahh...

$20 is more reasonable. All your paying for is extra pixels xD

HI xxaeroxx, I would like to first say that as a parent or a preschooler we bought one and have been pretty happy with not only the plush but also the WEbkinz Jr. Site.

To address why $25.00 and up you must remember that the target age range for the WEbkinz Jr. is 3-6 years of age and they are not ment to be collected in huge numbers. Not only are the plush much larger than the regular WEbkinz and the Signature WEbkinz, they are super soft and cuddly - just right for younger children to squeeze and cuddly. More material is used on each animal and the site is more educational based. I have been more impressed with the quality of the Jr. over the regular they have taken a beating and still look great. There are many other educational sites out there that you easily pay $20.00 and up per year and you don't even get the plush.

The site itself while still glitchy is great for the younger crowd. The graphics are really cute and simple but not overdone. There are lots of great games and activites to help children learn their alphabet, numbers, colors, and many other cognitive skills. The whole site is verbally based so little kids don't have to read to be able to learn how to maneuver around on the computer. Another great benefit of the site, is you can change the skill level to match your child's skill level.

My son loves to be able to play on the big computer with mommy so it also provides a great time to teach him about computers but also learn and have fun at the same time.

In this day and age computers are a part of daily life and will be for our chilldren also. This is a great site to help the younger generation learn all about how to use a computer yet learn some basic skills they will use for the rest of their lives.

I think for $25-$30 it was money well spent for us.

If you are curious to see what it is like, please check the link in my siggie.

For pixel fun, yeah..
Well, its a WebkinzJr, and its for little kids, so yeah... I wouldn't blame Ganz, since little kids are so special. Also, I wish they could lower the price, but Ganz doesn't go on WI I think :]
