Hey guys! It’s Michael. I just wanted to address a question that was posted by 1954tiny about the creek tiles. These new tiles that are available through 2017 Fall Fest Soda ARE larger than the ones we have released in the past. These are 2X2, which is the same size as our SPREE road tiles. They look great in room and the bridge looks beautiful too. Here’s a sneak peek:
Looking forward to seeing those Fall Fest room designs :)
oooo! Those river tiles look nice! And great room designs everyone! I don’t know how Michael Webkinz could have gone through all those submissions. It must have taken awhile.
Wonderful rooms and love all the new stuff. Also grateful for a chance at some of the fall soda prizes. I think the code programmer should’ve told Michael and Mandy that the code doesn’t give out fall fest soda to feed a pet, but only a prize.
Hi Blaine. We mentioned that in the podcast. Sorry for the confusion :)
How embarrassing. Sorry about that Michael. That’s what happens when I close out the podcast a few minutes too early. I was just going by the earlier convo and the podkinz title. So I watched it again and I see that you are very clear about what you get from the code. It’s even written under the code! :D
Awesome. Yeah when you had the code for the white chocolate egg on spring this year, I entered the code and got a prize but I was so confused that I didn’t get the egg. I’m so relieved there was an answer!
Hi 1Emerald1 thank you for your help with my question. The grandkids had put all my 160 Webkinz in glasses and hats. They thought it was funny you were laughing at them!!!! I had my laptop in for some problems and was off for two days. I only have one more question for you. Please tell me where I can find the button to bring my items back to my dock? I have to tell you that being a grandma can be very funny!!!
Hi babyssss! To bring back your dock, click the little green arrow at the bottom right corner of the screen. That should do it. How many grandkids do you have? I hope I’ll get to be a grandma some day!
Gosh RIVER PIECES. I so wish like the winter river we could cross it or set things on it . It is so narrow you almost miss the water next time can you make the water a little wider . I will save this because it blocks moving around in rooms .
Hi 1954tiny. These creek tiles are larger than the ones we have released in the past. I just posted a screenshot of the tiles and bridge in the article above. Hope you like them…. I think they are the nicest ones yet. The larger tiles really work well :)
What those new creek tiles are is awesome! Thanks for showing them, Michael!
What I love most about them is the illusion of depth. Looks like the pets would need to climb down a bank to get to the creek. Must have!!!
Hi Emerald! I agree. The illusion of depth makes these extra special :)
Hi Michael! That covered bridge is really cool too.
The OLDER GIRL VIKING BED if it was re-colored it is a PERFECT match for the HERO THEME . You already have a girl Viking Costume . Just the COLOR needs to be updated !!
Oh my those are all awesome rooms. I don’t know how anyone will be able to choose a favorite. Congratulations to all the finalist for such amazing rooms. And, thank you so much for the Fall Fest Soda. It just whetted my appetite for Fall Fest. Can’t wait!
I actually don’t watch podkinz very much but I watched this and I LOVED it!!! Mandy and Michael, you are great hosts and I loved Mandy’s giggle when she saw her pet in the peek-a-boo bag!!! Fall fest looks GREAT!!!!! I think it is my favorite fest. I am wondering what the thing that looks like dirt with little plants that is under the window is though?
Hi ferretfuzzbut… It’s a farmer’s field tile that you can use to create rows of crops in your yard. They don’t harvest anything but they’re great for decoration and your pet can walk over them.
Michael A CHALLENGE FOR YOU ;) . Grow corn seeds. BUT leave a few spaces and set COW BANKS THERE BEFORE corn grows. Add a tree swing to the right corner and a path around the outside. This is an awesome field.
Cool! I have the mobile app, I’m excited to get the freaky forest again. :) And Michael and Mandy, Your outfits are great!! Mandy looks adorable. ;) Darn, I didn’t win. :( A BIG CONGRATS TO ALL WHO DID!!! :D *Let’s have a mini party! Join the celebration!* Anyway, I can’t wait to vote! And fall fest and the apple one sound sooo cool, And THE PRIZES FOR THE LEAVES ARE AWESOME!!! The mouse is sooooo cute, I hope to get so many of those! My Mom’s favorite animal is a mouse, and I really love them too. And the apple seeds. I always love seeds!! :) The fall fest soda prizes are just as great. How do we get them? Will they float like wacky? Or will you buy them with estore points? Oh, I love the fall collection! As you could probably tell, I LOVE FALL!! It’s my FAVORITE season. <3 I love the room you made, Michael! Where are those trash cans from? Thanks so much for the bottle. :D
Hi bubbashuka. Fall Fest Soda will be available to buy from the W-Shop for eStore Points during Fall Fest. You’ll find cases of them in the NEW & PROMOS section of the W-Shop. Every time you feed your pet a bottle of soda you will win one of those 2017 Fall Fest Soda prizes.
Ok, thank you Michael!
Is it just me.. or did Mandee the pig put on mascara? Or have I just never noticed before? XD Fall is my favorite time in webkinz world! I love all the prizes and events! Fall fest is my favorite event in ww! The new seeds, bench, table, and field mouse plush are awesome! I can’t wait to get them! The acorn prizes are some of the best prizes yet! So pretty! Also, glad they are bringing back freaky forest to mobile. I never got the rocks or waterfall from last year. How often do they do the room design awards and when is it ok to send rooms in again? There are some amazing designers in WW great job! Happy fall everyone :)
It was a special episode of Podkinz so Mandy decided to wear some makeup :P As for you room design question… keep them coming! You can email them to me anytime at letsbuild@ganz.com.
Thanks for the response :)
Hi MidnightFirefies17, so far they’ve been running a Room Design Contest quarterly, or about every 3 months. So my guess is that the next one will probably be some time in early December.
Thanks 1Emerald1 I have noticed they do the contest a few times a year but never knew how often of if the continue to send in rooms.
so awesome especially the wacky zingo buger ban
