Three more Webkinz have been officially retired by Ganz: the Beagle, the Collie, and the American Albino. It is worth noting that the American Albino isn't scheduled for release until next month.  Also, the Rhino, which was retired in May, is now officially listed as "Sold Out".

Alyssa , July 23, 2008, 04:31:17 PM
A reminder!!
Just remember though, that in order to make new Webkinz, they have to retire old ones or else they'd have like a ton of Webkinz and its kinda part of business like when someone heres ones gonna retire that want to get it before it does.
Sarah , July 23, 2008, 04:33:10 PM

beagle
I have the beagle, he was my first! Here is Brownie the Beagle's opinion of the retirement.

"I think Ganz has retired enough of my friends in Kinzville. Now I don't see them anymore! First Hershey the B&W Cheeky dog, now me! I miss my old friends."

Thank you very much Brownie.
pianolover , July 23, 2008, 08:58:00 PM
boowho
i got the collie :p but the albino horse should have red eye cause it's ALBINO :cry :sigh too bad there retired why cant ganz retire something old?! :?
boowho , July 23, 2008, 09:48:30 PM
funny
do they think this is funny to retire new webkinz that JUST come out??
im seriously might quit webkinz.
p3yt0n , July 23, 2008, 11:29:09 PM
Then no more Webkinz would be released.
No plush or collectible company keeps all of their products current. They have to retire to clear out their warehouses full of inventory and to make new products. They couldn't afford to keep all of the retired Webkinz and make the number that they do.

This whole thing "Ganz is trying to make more money by retiring Webkinz" philosophy is bogus and a typical child's point of view. Ganz still makes the same amount of money/profit from the RETAILERS who buy them, regardless of whether they decide to retire them or not. What the retailers do with them after that could determine their rarity.

softballska , July 24, 2008, 04:09:09 PM

TYLER , July 25, 2008, 12:45:26 AM
I agree
I totally agree with what ur saying. Y even make the pets if they get retired so fast. :? :x

It doesn't make sense......
corrieannerules , July 25, 2008, 02:12:02 AM
I don't know what to say
I know why people are upset, but you can still get the collie and beagle.( you might not get the albino because places might not even have it yet). And so what about the rhino. It looks almost exactly like the hippo!!!! can't ganz at least change the color :x ...... :roll
corrieannerules , July 25, 2008, 02:15:19 AM
Retirement
This makes me mad! retiring a pet before it is sceduled to release? Gosh! well the good thing is that there are still lots of the previusley retired pets at the place where i buy webkinz smilies/smiley.gif excuse the bad spelling i was typing really fast!
horselover102 , July 25, 2008, 01:26:41 PM
But...
But that's just it. They're not going to lose a ton of people over a few retirements monthly. The majority of people who come here are a very small part of the Webkinz market. Many people who buy Webkinz could care less whether they retire or they don't, because the majority of them are still easily accessible.

The other reason is that most people who go online to play Webkinz just use the main site, and the main site doesn't list the Webkinz as retired until weeks after the retailers get word. Most people will have already bought the American Albino before they hear of its retirement.
