Hello Webkinz fans!
As many of you may have noticed, we have not retired any Webkinz plush pets in some time. Yet many of our plush pets have become very hard to find in stores. This is because we have a large number of Webkinz pets that are completely sold out from Ganz. Yes, we’ve fallen behind on our retirements and have made a plan to get all caught up!
Starting on July 27th, we will be retiring a new pet every weekend! Owners of these pets will get extra activities with bonus chances to win virtual prizes. A different activity will be made available on Saturday and Sunday.
To get the process started, we have gone ahead and retired all pets that were Holiday, Chase or made especially for a retail partner (such as Justice or Cracker Barrel). These pets will not be part of the retirement events.
Our new styles of Webkinz plush are now more collectible than ever. If you want a specific pet, let your favorite Webkinz retailer know, as new styles won’t last long. You can also find new Webkinz for purchase online at ToysRUs.com, Amazon.com and other fine retailers.
To keep you better informed, we will be posting articles here on Webkinz Newz when pets sell out, so you don’t miss your chance.
For our Webkinz Signature series fans, we will be releasing our final Signature plush this December. We can’t say exactly which pet it is, but it will be a fan-favorite dog that we haven’t made yet in Signature form. We’d like to thank all of our Signature collectors for supporting this great line since 2009.
So thank you again for being such great fans. We have some amazing new pets coming in the second half of 2013 that we really hope you enjoy.
Have fun!
- Your furry friends in Webkinz World.
I guess they are making so many new ones they need to get rid of some of the old (and better) ones
Please don’t quit webkinz if i get 300 people to make a comment about keeping webkinz and if i do a 3000 word essay of why i like webkinz and webkinz signature pets especially will youu keep them
They made it sound like we want them to retire. Well, I don’t want them to go! I can only get a webkinz pet once a month, if that. And if it said the signatures were retiring I missed that. It said the last one would be coming out in December. I understand they’re doing this for money to get people to buy the webkinz, but I really don’t want them to go. =(
Webkinz is still going to make pets, it is just retiring some of them that have sold out. Like the Unicorns are retired and other animals that they have sold out. The only pets that won’t be made anymore are the signature pets.
i want that signature deer SO BAD! i hope i can still find one
no guys there making new one each weekened. there selling the old ones for less money because there making new ones and better ones ;]
What Webkinz retailers? I can’t find a store that sells Webkinz within 100 miles of where I live.
i don’t get the second paragraph when it says “we’ve gone ahead and retired all the holiday, Chase or made especially for retail partner ( such as justice or cracker barrel).what do they mean by such as justice or cracker barrel ?
Wow! They’re going to retire a Webkinz pet every weekend? To answer some previous questions, I don’t think they are going to stop making Webkinz pets, but they are going to retire older pets. You don’t need worry about this either though, because even after a pet is retired, you can probably still find them online. I found my Webkinz Love Puppy online. But you should know that some retired Webkinz can be much, much more expensive then when they came out, such as the Brown Cheeky Dog, the Love Puppy, and the Sherbet Bunny. And older Webkinz Signatures such as the Signature Golden Retriever and the Signature Timber Wolf can cost a fortune. I’m really going to miss the Signature Series though, I really loved those soft, realistic, and beautiful Webkinz. I hope the last Signature pet is a Dalmatian.
Just a Question will they be retiring for EVERY week or just a limited time?
