There are 3 brand new items coming to the Wish Factory after maintenance on September 23! You may also receive one of these items as a bonus gift when you adopt a pet.
Also, 2 Exclusives will be retiring, so be sure to pick these up at the Wish Factory before maintenance on September 23rd.
Do you have the Antique Wishing Well or the King of the Garden Statue? Tell us in the comments below!

Thanks For The Heads Up…Love That Cement Mixer!

That Webkinz American Gothic painting is a HOOT! The stone mermaid sculpture will look awesome in underwater rooms!
Cool!! I hope they won’t be 100-300 tokens. Wish tokens are impossible to get these days if you aren’t Deluxe (I am, but it used to bug me and still does), ten token items are hard to collect, let alone more. You only get a chance or two a month to collect one and it’s nowhere near a guarantee, I was getting I’d say one every two months on average. I feel like the more expensive ones should be 50 tokens tops, making them significantly harder to get, not impossible. I might understand more if there was higher variety in exclusive items you get when you adopt pets, but I’ve adopted almost 20 pets in the last year through purchase and medallions both, and I’ve never gotten an item worth more than 30 tokens from it, and many of them have been repeats of 10-token items that I would never want more than one of (I have Four count down to Webkinz day things at this point). I love Webkinz, and I’ve loved it since I started playing in 2008, but it used to be that I could work hard and earn my way up to the exclusive items I wanted. I respect that some things should be harder to get, but it feels like getting a few good exclusive items these days takes a long time if you’re Deluxe, and impossible if you’re not
I agree. It has become much more difficult to collect wish tokens.
This is very true ALI4499 and honestly, it frustrates younger children and they lose interest quickly. It’s funny you mention the Countdown to Webkinz, why is it not retired when it doesn’t even work? It should have been retired long ago, it feels like losing when it shows up in an adoption purchase, as one of the younger members of our family noted. The well is lovely and is a challenge prize, so I wonder how that will affect new players on that particular challenge, will the challenge be retired as well? Just wondering because we have introduced Webkinz to newer players. The blue scooter seems to crop up more than anything in new adoptions. I’d rather have seen it retire than the lion statue honestly. The new items really are special though and I also hope they won’t be outrageous. Some of the really expensive items on the wish machine are now available at other places, Spree Mall and prize wheels, for example, so I certainly feel they need to rethink some of these wildly overpriced items. Nothing should require 300 wish tokens, for example.
I agree, it must be even more frustrating for young players. I had no idea the countdown was broken, because I honestly did not know where to put one, let alone four, so they’re sitting in my dock, but that’s extremely disappointing, and weird that it’s never been fixed
I think I need to start officially documenting this for my accounts, because it intrigues me now. And it’s interesting as an insight to the webkinz prize distribution system. In my experience, the amount of wish tokens I end up seems to always align with how much I want the actual prizes on the wheels that also offer tokens. Or that I want those prizes at all. For many months now, all of my accounts have seemed token-heavy, especially my deluxe accounts (as you noted). Obviously this is a problem other people would like to have, but some of my deluxe accounts have 600-800 wish tokens in the dock — and they are in the dock because it got out of control several hundreds ago about the same time it got so time-consuming and irritating to try to feed them into the wish machine. *Please wait….* But I go to the wheels every. single. time. and find myself chanting softly ‘prizeprizeprize’ and then nope, token. sigh. And I have definitely noted this since the introduction of the gemstone tiles on the regular Wheel of Wishes — two years now? Every month, month after month, every time it pops up, I beg it for tiles every spin, pleading for them, and it *feels* like almost every time I land on wish tokens instead, regular accounts and deluxe alike. As for the frequency on regular accounts, both the regular wheel of wishes and the token dartz hit a couple times a month each, usually as a pinned event rather than an hourly. (Also I want to agree that the prize ‘prices’ on these exclusives has gotten utterly absurd, especially since, as you mention, the opportunity for even getting wish tokens is increasingly limited for many players.)
Although it does not bother me, because I prefer Wish tokens to the tiles and prizes, I too have noticed the trend away from landing on the prizes. I am always surprised when a new cycle shows up and I didn’t land on the prize even once, although again, I have yet to see one of the prizes as something I really want more than the exclusive items I’m saving for, but I have wondered why that is. The way the prize distribution works on the game is certainly interesting. I very rarely miss spinning one of the daily wheels, and even picking up the daily prize box here on Webkinz News, and yet I find myself not getting even one of some of the prizes. I agree, it’s quite intriguing
Yes I have both
WOW but how much
I can’t wait to get the new items. Thanks for telling us what was retiring. Pittiesrule
Yes, I have both, and have enough wish tokens to get both before they’re retired. Have been saving for big token item, but may get them anyway.
