This makes me sad to read. I’ve played for years and have hated most of the huge changes that have been made. Nothing will ever be as good as the original plush! I have such nostalgia recalling the excitement of seeing those string plush pets in stores and picking out a new one.

Admittedly I just started using Webkinz again, I think the last time I was on this site I was knee high to a grasshopper. I rejoined for the nostalgia, and have fell in love all over again! It’s been years since I actively went in search of webkinz in stores. I found that almost none of the local stores that used to carry them, actually carry them anymore. However I have found that specialty stores (like hallmark and quips N’ quotes) still have them. I was lucky enough to find a store that actually had shelves full of them. Which got me so excited! A friend of mine who lives in another state; could only find one plushie in the two whole hallmark stores local to them. I guess i’m just lucky. I really hope at some point, the webkinz plushies make a comeback. They were something I really enjoyed with my childhood. I had a overhang above my bed with over 40 of them. I’ve been scouring high and low for the Pitbull Puppy, but no local stores have them. I think with a good push, webkinz could get back to being relatively popular. ):

Thank yo ufor the information, unfrotunately, even if a store near me sells the toys, I will only be able to buy them off amazon because my sister will most likely be with me and she thinks adults shouldn’t play kids games

Steve Webkinz, thank you so very much for the updated, clear and honest explanations to the major questions from our community. You confirmed much of what i suspected in many areas. I am just a little excited that my string fur pets are now more of a rarity. As my plush collection has become quite extensive (and my house small) I must say that I really do like the Virtual Pet option. I can expand my ‘family’ to my hearts content and yet only need order the odd plush that I really want. Such as the Ribbon Unicorn. Another nice feature of the VPOM is that when I want to, I can use the code on my secondary account instead of my main account. Like in the case of placing the Orange Soda Pup with my Cream Soda Pup. Overall I’ve been quite pleased with the experience as the breakdown of the price for the pets over a whole year is quite nice.

Lil' Kinz were originally created as a way to sell smaller plush for cheaper prices and get more players to discover the game. Once the game become extremely popular, there wasn't as much need for Lil' Kinz anymore.

Thank you, Steve, for a really informative report. With so many people being passionate about their particular breed, it makes sense you have a lot of dogs available, but the part about their animation was really interesting. Much as I love the plush, I’ve had to mostly stick to virtual pets lately or my house would be overrun!

Isn’t that funny! That’s where I’ve seen the ‘stringy! Pets, too! I’ve found the rooster, seal, Hippo and leopard, there. For a while the Giant Tiger even had them, but they quit selling them, too. Canadians have a really difficult time locating Webkinz of any type. When I do see them, unfortunately, they’re well picked over and the places the Dollar Store/Tree/Rama don’t realize that the codes are an integral part of the plush. I brought a couple of codeless webbies to an associate and she rolled her eyes and put it back in the shelf. I explained to her that it’s just a plush with out the code and any child who knows what a Webkinz is would be bitterly disappointed to spend their allowance on a pet they couldn’t adopt. She gave me that ‘deer in the headlights’ look. So, with a sigh of resignation I apologetically stated, ‘yes, I am all too familiar with this plush.’
