Ganz Releases Sneak Peek at Hound Dog Items

Submitted by FIA on Wed, 09/08/2010 - 5:00pm.
We don't yet know what they're called, but a few moments ago Ganz released these official pictures of the Webkinz Hound Dog's Pet Specific Item and pet Special Food.  This dog certainly appears to be an Elvis fan, with his Blue Suede Shoes and what looks like a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich.

"Nick" the Mazin' Hamster Now on Pre-Sale at Ameriwade

Submitted by FIA on Wed, 09/08/2010 - 3:43pm.
Thank you to our friends at Ameriwade for letting us know about "Nick" the Mazin' Hamster is now available for pre-sale on their website:  www.Ameriwade.com. 
 
We expect that this cute critter will be flying off of store shelves, so if you want one for your collection, don't hesitate. Since this Mazin' Hamster is a seasonal release, there is no way to predict if/when it will return once this season's batch is gone.

We anticipate that, like the other Mazin' Hamsters, Nick will come with a special Tube Wallpaper and Hamster Ball. To learn more about the Mazin' Hamster product line, and to see the items each Hamster comes with, please check out the Mazin' Hamster Guide in the Webkinz Insider WIki.
 
Don't forget that Ameriwade features $5 flat-rate shipping to the USA and Canada, no matter now large your order is, and that a portion of every sale made online at www.ameriwade.com goes to supporting Webkinz Insider.

Over the past week we have had a number of Webkinz Insider members post pictures of their Tie Dyed Puppy adoptions.  Each one of them received a Tie Dyed Tux Package Box containing a Tie Dyed Tux Top, Pants, and Shoes.  Now, based on the current advertisements running in Webkinz World, it looks like there may have been a glitch with those adoptions.
 
According to the current advertisements, the PSI for the Tie Dyed Puppy is a Tie Dye Tux consisting of a Top, Pants, Shoes, and a Hat.  At this point, we haven't had any reports of members receiving a Tie Dyed Tux Hat.  Many members have plans to contact Ganz in the morning to see about getting their missing items.
 
 
 
 
UPDATE:  (Sept 8, 2010): Recent tweet from @Webkinz: If you have already adopted a Tie Dye Puppy, Please contact CS (Customer Service)  to get a replacement Hat.

Stadium Competitors Wonder About Missing Amateur Events

Submitted by FIA on Thu, 08/26/2010 - 12:15am.
Over the past week we have been getting posts from our members here on Webkinz Insider who are wondering where the Amateur events in the Webkinz Stadium have gone.  Since the big Stadium update early last month, Ganz had been running one Amateur competition per day.  Last week the events suddenly stopped appearing.  The last Amateur competition was held in the Stadium on Thursday, August 19th.
 
Several of our members have contacted Webkinz Customer Support to try to find out what is going on, but at this point, we don't have a clear answer.  Most of the reps our members have spoken with said they would refer this problem to the Tech Department.  As soon as more information is made available, we will bring it to you here.

Mysterious Floating Objects Appear on Webkinz Newz

Submitted by FIA on Wed, 09/08/2010 - 12:02pm.
 
We've had a number of reports come in this morning from members who have spotted floating objects on the Webkinz Newz site.  Players who clicked on the objects each received a message that they'd won a code for a Midnight Magnolia Enchanted Sapling.  However, when they entered the feature codes into the Code Shop they were each awarded a Whirlawisk (unsolved MegaStove recipe) instead.  According to the message, the Midnight Magnolia will be for sale in the Ganz eStore this weekend.  Thank you to Webkinz Insider member chocolatecat67 for this picture from her account.
 
Could Ganz be planning to hold a Midnight Magnolia contest sometime this week?  We'll just have to wait and see.  Don't forget that the Peek-a-Newz contest that was cancelled last week will be returning to the Webkinz Newz site at 4pm today (Wednesday, September 8).
 
UPDATE:  The floating objects are still appearing, but players who click on them are now getting a message that the contest "is no longer running".
