A Message to Webkinz Collectors

 

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.

    please do not stop now all of those people who dreamed of having a webkinz are now crushed bc they can not afford them so noone can give it to the people that are not a fourtunite as us so do not stop i love ur company and webkinz so everybody lets help ganz out go out and buy as many webkinz as u can and maybe they will get more money to make more webkinz maybe they just ran out of money but that does not help them because with no cool webkinz to buy they will not get any money at all

    I can not believe a pet will retire every weekend! Does this mean NEW pets will retire too? I hope I can still find Webkinz at the stores I go to!

    Well, it happens. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like I can scoop any nice ones for cheap…… The prices are probably going to skyrocket. Remember the Cheeky cat and Dog? Good luck getting one.

    Well…. This is the first story of sad news I’ve heard and I’ve played webkinz since March 28, 2009 and this is the first sad story I’ve heard. I got a couple of signatures and I love them so much becuase they are so cute and realistic and I’m just…sad to hear that so many pets will retire and one of them might be the nightmare horse and I wanted that since 2011. (Sighs) This is just really sad news. :(
