    Noo!!! I was saving up for the Riding the Rails train! D: I wish it didn’t retire!!!

    • winterwarriorwolf says:

      But I do like the new exclusive items (: And I can’t wait for the leprechaun hunt and the hungry hog trophy! :D I love finding the leprechaun!

    • TaffyKitty12 says:

      Aw, sorry to hear that, winterwarriorwolf :( Maybe I can double check to see if I have any extras of the riding the rails train… And if I do, I can send one to you if you’d like. My username on webkinz is WarriorCat1010

    • GraceRynae says:

      Sally, I won a box of pizza on the wheel of deluxe and instead of giving me the pizza I got a pink heart rug. I think it was the old prize for the slot. Not that I don’t like the rug, its just that if it was any other prize on the wheel I would be upset to not get it. Anyway the wheel is still giving out the old prizes even though the pictures on the wheel are different.

      • Sally Webkinz says:

        Thanks for letting us know!

        • kittymade10 says:

          It did that with me too GraceRynae! It is why I don’t spin the wheel.

          • kittymade10 says:

            So Sally, do you have a store that’s not online for Webkinz, and stuff. If not please request doing a store or something! That would be cool! ^-^ :P

        • mamajo18x2 says:

          OMG WHAT IS UP, SO FAR TODAY I HAVE THREE MISSING PETS FROM THEIR ROOMS AND NO WHERE TO BE FOUND.

          • Beckinz8 says:

            At least I’m not the only one. I’m not able to view any of my pets in their rooms, or access my map to be able to move around my house. My pets are at least asleep, but it is difficult to fill any hearts because I can’t get them up to exercise, bathe, brush teeth, etc. Hopefully Sally and the crew are aware of these problems and are working on a fix. username~kalcan8

          • tinygma says:

            HINT or a LIL HELP – Pets in double rooms or more .Do the pets in the room . Then go to the PET LISE at the bottom PAW FIND THE OTHER pet in the room click it and it should show up . But otere is (already done will disapear. SINGLE PETS in a Room THROW FOOD IN THE ROOM FEED THEM !!! IF a PET REQUEST COMES FOR CLOTHING do it and the CARE HEART SHOULD BE FULL even if the pet is MISSING !! i HA99 pETS AND GOT 48 OR 49 Heart CARE FULL ;) sAD BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THINGS BETTER AT LEAST !

          • gen6789 says:

            I also have missing pets and as soon as i find them they disappear again. ALL of my pets are running around with no clothes on. I get them dressed and guess what????? As soon as i go back to their room–NO CLOTHES !!!!! Plz don’t let them freeze !!!!!!

      • GraceRynae says:

        Sally, I also just learned while in a room with my 2 pets Frog and and Brillant Bandit (and 9 other pets) That while on Precious (The Bandit) I can’t see Froggy (the Frog) When switching to Froggy from the “My Pets” icon it loads like it is changing rooms, but I stay in the same room. The only thing different is now I cant see Precious and the same thing happens when going from Froggy to Precious. Both of them are room mates (along with the other 9 pets) and have been since Feb. began and this is the first time something like this has happened. Plz fix

    • ChristianCowgirl123 says:

      Awwww WinterWarriorWolf! I wish I had one to give ya!

    • FoxesRule612 says:

      Same! I was saving for the Orange Plasma Ball and now it’s gone! :( Wish they said beforehand which were retiring. Oh well. Thanks for the great new updates!! I’m still excited! Can’t wait for my Newz Stand plus everyone to experience being Deluxe!! =D

      • bekahandcj says:

        Me too, FoxesRule612. I would love to know a little in advance it something will be retired… sometimes a whole room theme I have in mind is built around a single unique item or two!

    • FoxesRule612 says:

      Same! I was saving for the Orange Plasma Ball! I wish they would tell us beforehand which items will retire. Oh well….=( I am thankful though for all these GREAT new updates! Especially the Deluxe Preview! Can’t wait or my Newz Stand PLUS everyone will experience what Deluxe is like! That will be so exciting!! I also love next month’s Deluxe Gift Box item!!!! It’s so cute. =D

    • RosyFox says:

      Awww, sorry, winterwarriorwolf! I bet that’s frustrating.

      • RosyFox says:

        CAN’T WAIT FOR FRIDAY!!!! *starts doing Friday dance* We ALL get to be Deluxe!

        • winterwarriorwolf says:

          Yeah, I was disappointed, but Taffykitty helped me out! :D (thanks again!!!) And yeah! Friday!!! :D

          • TaffyKitty12 says:

            Any time! :)

          • Hhayes says:

            Thanks Ganz! However there is one, I guess you could call it, ‘update’ that I’ve been waiting for almost a year now. It’s pet actions<. They keep saying “They will return soon!” but it’s been forever! I worked hard to get those actions and I’m feeling I’ll never get to use them again. I know you guys at Ganz are very busy, but I guess this can be a reminder maybe? Eh, you probably already know about this and have been working on it. :P :D

          • Pokekinz says:

            When I went on Webkinz yesterday, it was agonizingly slow… It wasn’t like that before this update, and I also kept getting video ads, which again, I didn’t get before the update. Also, the site kept crashing.

          • Pokekinz says:

            Ugh! It did the thing again. Hhayes, did you close your HTML italics tag??

          • ilovemoonie says:

            Pokekinz, it did that to my sister yesterday! A bunch of video ads kept coming up so it was working really slow. It didn’t do it to me though. Strange…is it still like that for you? It’s working again for my sister.

          • ilovemoonie says:

            And why are all the words slanted?? I don’t know how to do that, I wish I did, but not for everything! See, I would’ve made that everything slanted if I knew how, but it dosen’t really work if all the words are like that. :/

          • TaffyKitty12 says:

            Hmm.. Yeah… This is odd. Yesterday they weren’t in italics, today… Pretty much everything below Hhayes comment is in italics… Hmm… Strange… Well.. anywho, yeah, it did the same for me yesterday, too. I never get video ads and suddenly, there were TONS of them! It was really strange….. o_o

          • ilovemoonie says:

            hmm, that is weird. i’m just glad it’s working again for my sister, and I hope it is for you guys too. and now the words are back to normal again!! at least on my computer….i’ll have to check on my ipad later. by the way I love that face!! o_o for some reason I just started laughing, I don’t know why! its just a regular face and i’ve seen it before but today I just thought it was funny, I don’t know, lol. :)

          • TaffyKitty12 says:

            I didn’t check on my account yet, but I think it’ll be working! And I’m glad it started working again for your sister! Webkinz is sooooo much better (and faster) without video ads! And yeah, I’m glad the words are back to normal! It’s so much easier to read now :) and haha, yeah, the o_o face is pretty funny! :D

    • tinygma says:

      CLOTHNG HINT – ALERT PULL DOWN THE CLOTHING Like Fine or Casual . Pull each item your pet WAS WEARING LIKE THE CASUAL GROUP it will go in the DOCK to the NEW STUFF. GO THERE AND RE-DRESS YOUR PET !!! DO NOT RE-DRESS PET CLOSE TO ANOTHER PET. Put each pet to dress in a seperate corner . This stops the OTHER PETS CLOTHING from DISAPERING. BUT their clothing is in there clothing area when you click to RE-DRESS them so relax every thing is there ;) JUST ANOTHER hoop IN life TO JUMP THROUGH. we WILL JUMP MANY MANY MORE befor you get my age ;) 60 yrs old . If anything WEBKINZ is trying to make things better !!! OH YES SALLY I have the SAMOUR CAMPFIRE . iTS IS BETTER THEN EVER BEFOR. iN THE PAST WHEN IT CAME OUT IT WAS LIT ONLY WHEN I got a treat . Now it has flames all the time and is SO PRETTY !!

  2. beaubo says:

    everything sounds great!

  3. Umgrilledcheese says:

    Are we ever going to be able to dress on the Clubhouse again?

  4. _emiemiemiemiemi_ says:

    Hungry Hog Challenge? Cool! I noticed the prize update for the Wheel of Wow on mobile and on Webkinz. Pretty cool prizes! The Lucky Go Cart looks interesting and I always enjoy collecting those Jelly Coins. =]

  5. Commakinz says:

    Is the trophy for hungry hog or Pinky’s big adventure?

  6. FennecFox says:

    GO HUNGRY HOG! That game is so fun! :D Thanks so much, Cowabelle!

  7. elreyleon4 says:

    I think these updates are awsome! Thanks ganz,

  8. ilovemoonie says:

    Cool! I can’t wait to see what the hungry hog challenge is, and what the new prizes on the wheel are! I don’t remember there being a train in the wish factory. I’m going to look it up. :)

  9. meEcho22 says:

    This update is good.I am going to be waiting for the news about the tvs!

  10. TaffyKitty12 says:

    Whoa!!! A NEW trophy?!?! Looks like I’ll have to step it up on my hungry hog game playing skills! And that lucky go cart looks awesome!!! :D I’m sad that the train and orange plasma ball retired…. But at least I own a few of each.

    • FennecFox says:

      I LOVE HUNGRY HOG! It is one of my favorite games! ;)

      • TaffyKitty12 says:

        Yeah, it’s an awesome game! :D

      • ChristianCowgirl123 says:

        I LOVE HUNGRY HOG! I wish they would do a Polar Plunge trophy contest. *DANCING* :D

        • ChristianCowgirl123 says:

          Oh, Thanks Cowabelle. You are the BEST mayor!

          • TaffyKitty12 says:

            Yeah! Hungry hog is awesome! And same with polar plunge! *joins the dancing* And yep, thanks Cowabelle! You are awesome! :D

          • kittymade10 says:

            You guys are right I love Hungry Hog almost as Polar Plunge( &)<—— wired guy with horrable eyes)

          • ChristianCowgirl123 says:

            *dancing faster and to the beat now* Thia game is my third favorite and polar plunge is my first . My second is leapin llama

          • TaffyKitty12 says:

            Lol kittymade10! That face is funny! &) And kewl ChristianCowgirl! I love leapin’ llama! One time I got a super high score, but for some reason, a message showed up after I lost saying that I wouldn’t receive any kinzcash or credit :/ that stunk. I probably would’ve been number 1 on the overall high scores list! (My score that I received that day was around 350,000, well over the highest recorded score ever, which is 300,000 XP I was really upset, and to this day, I barely play leapin llama, and when I do, I can’t even get over 20,000. I know this was a really random story, but I thought I’d share it. Anywho, despite that, I still like leapin’ llama…. I’m just terrible at it now :/

          • FennecFox says:

            WHOA! Thats really kewl, TaffyKitty

          • FennecFox says:

            Aw, but im sad that your HIGH score wasn’t shown!

          • TaffyKitty12 says:

            Yeah, I was so excited, but then, let’s just say I was really disappointed :/ I’m upset I didn’t get my score shown, but what was even worse was the kinzcash situation. I spent 30 minutes on that game and didn’t get a single kinzcash! :( That stunk…. And I didn’t use any cheats or anything; I played fair and square, so I don’t know why I didn’t receive any credit or kinzcash. Oh well….. Well… At least I got the highest score of the day several times a few years ago in leapin’ llama, so at least I can be proud of that :)

      • curbo says:

        Me too! It is actually my second favorite arcade game. My favorite arcade game is Polarberry Jam. But hungry hog is pretty fun though.

        • FennecFox says:

          Oh yeah, curbo! I LOVE polarberry jam, but my all time favorite game is the frog downpourz game :)

          • TaffyKitty12 says:

            I love lily padz downpourz too, Fennec! :D I’m not that great at it, though :/

          • FennecFox says:

            Same here, TaffyKitty! In hungry hog i can get to like, uh, level seven… but In lilly padz downpourz i can only get to level three… ;)

          • TaffyKitty12 says:

            Yeah, I can’t get to high levels in those games, either. But I still love playing ‘em!:D

        • FennecFox says:

          Ohhhhh! YAY! I love the Lily pad downpourz game. Yeah TaffyKitty. I ummmm…. aren’t really good! I made it to level 4 though! :D

        • foxpaws says:

          I’m so glad that Taffykitty12 shared that story. When Atlantiles first showed up, I played it often and even got over 48,000. Since then, I can’t get over 30,000 and only rarely that high. I felt like I was the only one and really felt stupid for being so unsuccessful. Still don’t understand why the scores are so low but it is good to know other people are having the same problems too! ♥♥♥foxpaws♥♥♥

      • doingmydailies says:

        HUNGRY HOG!!!!!! I also love that game!!!!! It is one my favorite Webkinz games!!!!

    • ChristianCowgirl123 says:

      Yeah me too. I loved the plasma ball. :( And my lil’ sis wished for the train everyday! She wanted it so bad!
