Hi Webkinz Newz readers! It’s Ella McWoof, Kinzville’s resident blogger, and I’m here again with another EXCLUSIVE interview! Today we stopped by the Curio Shop and had a chat with one of Kinzville’s most fascinating citizens – Arte Fact!
Arte: Welcome to the Curio Shop, Ella.
Ella: Thanks for having me. Wow, you really do have some amazing things in here! Why did you decide to open the Curio Shop?
Arte: Well, I’ve always been interested in history and artifacts. I’ve been on a number of archaeological expeditions over the years and collected many treasures. Opening the Curio Shop was my way of sharing these exciting discoveries with the other citizens of Kinzville.
Ella: Some have said it is just too hard to find one of your special rare items in stock. What advice would you give those people?
Arte: Don’t be a stranger! Look, this isn’t the WShop, although I do offer some of the same stuff, sometimes for a much better price. It wouldn’t be a RARE item if it was easy to find, now would it? I have limited stock of those items, so you gotta be here at the right time. But I’m not gonna just tell anybody who walks through the door when that’s gonna be. I’d rather see my best customers get first crack at getting something special.
Ella: Although I understand that anyone can come here and go on a Gem Hunt in one of your mines?
Arte: That’s right. Everyone gets one visit a day. I get dibs on buying anything they find, or they can collect the gems for later. If someone gets a complete collection, I’ll make them a Crown of Wonder with those gems! You’re not gonna get that at the WShop.
Ella: I’ve heard that some people are also trading gems with Doug the Dog in the Clubhouse. Any chance of you and Doug finding a way to be friends again?
Arte: Well, that’d be up to Doug. He knows where to find me and my door is always open. He’s the one that’s made himself hard to find.
Ella: Thank you so much for the interview Arte!
Arte: You’re welcome Ella.
That’s it for my interview with Arte! If you were to interview Arte, what questions would you ask him? Let me know in the comments below!
I agree with Arte; Doug is so hard to find. I’ve been coming here for years and I still have never seen Doug. loved the Arte interview!
Cool! And I guess I’m one of his regulars now. If I ask about sales or rares he’ll tell me when they’ll be there. Although right now the “Ask about rares” button isn’t working. I click it and then he won’t talk and it won’t let me push the gem hunt, go shopping, ask about sales, or ask about rare items. I have to go somewhere else first and then go back.
yeah, that happens with me too sometimes. youre a regular, i think, because you give arte a tip!
He gets offended by 1 kinzcash tips, but he loves 100 kinzcash tips. He tells me what time he will have rare items.
Hello, Just a little tip about Arte Fact. He will give you the time but if he doesn’t that’s because it’s been done for the day already. Then you will have to go back the next day to get another time. Sometimes he does it more than once in a day though, but the time will usually be shown to his good customers. Hope that helped you all. Have a great day.
i’m one of his regulars too! he always tells me stuff :) >~pop~<
Wow can you do an interview with fred rover next? :D ~etncpink
Cool.
I hope Ella interviews Amanda panda soon
Can you bring back some themes for me Arte?
What gem is your best?
that would have to be the webkinz diamond!
Yum Zum Sparkle.
I’d ask him what’s the rarest item he’s ever found, & what’s the rarest item that’s sold at the Curio Shop. I REALLY want an interview with Amanda Panda! She’s my favorite mascot. Do her next, please, Ella!
ya me too! please interview Amanda Panda please! she’s my absolute fave! ~*stardreamz*~
I would rather her do Sheldon Turtle {Favorite}, but Amanda would be good, too.
I would ask him if he has a crush on Persephone (The designer poodle)and keep asking him until he gave in and admitted.
lol It would be so convenient if Doug was in the curio shop too
lol totally
Yeah the’re like brothers!
Totally! I’ve only ever found Doug once – when I had the wrong jewel. Lucky me, huh? If he was in the Curio Shop, I know that I’d trade with him. Maybe they could make a change to his clubhouse room: He could always be in the room, but the jewel he buys from you changes every hour. What do you think, Ganz?
Totally agreed
that sounds great because i have too many unicorn horns and arte won’t give me a price over 50 KinzCash
this is cool!
