Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, I have just received word from Ganz that the Halloween Items will be put back into the W Shop for one more day! That's right, it's coming back!! Here's the official word from them:
We will be putting the Halloween Items back on sale tonight for purchase tomorrow. They will be available until some point on Friday. After that they will be gone for the year. We didn’t realize that so many fans were waiting until the very last day to make their purchases.
So, for all those disappointed people that were upset that they couldn't complete their themes with those few extra pieces, you have a second chance! All Webkinz fans rejoice!!!
Well, folks, the long downtime in the middle of the day brought many changes, too many to list in the title!
At this point, here is what we've discovered:
The majority of the Halloween theme has been removed from the W Shop
The picture of the Grey Horse has been changed
There is a new class in the Kinzville Academy
There is new clothing in the W Shop
There are new Pet of the Month Items
Most of the Pinto has been programmed into Webkinz World
New time zone options
Halloween Theme Issues One of the most worrisome and highly unpopular and unwelcome changes is the removal of most of the Haunted Theme items two days early. It appears that many people were waiting to buy them on the last day (Halloween) and are upset that they were pulled this evening, October 30th. Here is how the Haunted theme looks now, each of these items says that they will be available until November 14th:
The Webkinz World newspaper changed at midnight and we were given a few new announcements.
Santa outfits are available in-store, so if you're still having trouble getting a highly-sought-after Santa outfit for your Webkinz, you can buy on of the KinzStyle outfits!
As we have already seen with some registrations from our members and reports from all over the US & Canada, the Webkinz Seal, Webkinz Yellow Lab and Webkinz Brown Arabian Horse are out now.
Finally, we'll all be getting Halloween gifts on Halloween!! Don't forget to log in on Halloween day to claim your gift bag which will likely contain exclusive items that you can't get any other way!
We found something very interesting in the main Webkinz newspaper announcement upon looking closer at the pets in the picture.
We've got some amazing news that you won't find anywhere else but here, your #1 site for Webkinz information and news, WebkinzInsider.Com!
For some time now, I have been in direct contact with the Creative Director of Webkinz World. As a result of our contact, we have been granted permission to host a "Question & Answers" session here on Webkinz Insider!
The Creative Director has agreed to "play 20 questions" with the users on Webkinz Insider; he has agreed to answer 20 questions that I send him from all of you! This is behind-the-scenes access and insider information that you won't find anywhere: an exclusive interview with the Webkinz Creative Director, with questions from all the Webkinz Insider users!
For the next week, an official interview questions thread will be "stuck" to the top of the General Discussion area of our forum. If you think of a question you'd like to ask, post it in there. On Monday night, we will close the thread, select 20 questions from it and send them on.
The guidelines are very simple:
No Rude or Sarcastic Questions
The Questions should be for everyone (no personal technical issues)
Other than those guidelines, the sky’s the limit.
Put your thinking caps on, this is an amazing opportunity for our members, so let's get some really great questions for him! Be creative! If you ever wanted to ask Ganz anything about Webkinz World, the Creative Director would be the person to ask and here's your chance!!
Our breaking news is the discovery of a Webkinz Pinto Horse by a WI user, nannakatina! The Yellow Lab, Brown Arabian and Seal were all added to the Webkinz catalog today, but no mention was made of the Webkinz Pinto Horse! We currently only have in-real-life pictures of the Pinto: it appears that nannakatina has gotten it so early that the Pinto is not programmed into Webkinz World and it shows an invisible pet, just like COWS4U's early spotting of the Brown Arabian!!!
