Kooky Scientist Theme Retired!
Our first rare theme, released way back in 2006, has been retired. Arte has run out of items from the Kooky Scientist rare theme and won’t be getting any more in. While this great theme will be missed, Arte put it in a positive light. “Customers keep asking me when I’ll be getting more of those new Palace Princess and Persian items in. Now I’ll have room to get them in more often.” Arte then added, “Yeah, I’m completely out of the items that so many have collected, but you never know what kooky old stuff I might find in the future.” Rare item collectors are encouraged to head over to the Trading Rooms in the Clubhouse to complete thier Kooky Scientist collections. Have fun!
Change Made to Communal Contests
Since we launched Communal Contests eight weeks ago, we’ve been very happy to see so many of our members get involved in working to win the weekly prize. Unfortunately, the number of people who vote for a prize is far greater than the number of people who actually help out by playing on the weekend. We feel that it is important that everyone work together to meet the communal goal. Starting this week, you will only be able to claim the weekly prize if you participated fully, by playing the Communal Contest game on Saturday or Sunday at least once. If you didn’t vote, you can still play and win, but if you only vote, you will not be eligible to claim the prize. If the goal has already been met, don’t worry. Just enter the contest and play at least once. We feel that this change is an important update to this fun weekend activity. Get involved, join the fun, and you could win a prize!
Webkinz Day Contest
Do you love Webkinz World? Do you have a great memory that you’d love to share? We want to hear it! Five of the most original and creative entries will win a Sparkling Pegasus, and the first prize winner will receive a Webkinz Day Prize Pack! This awesome prize pack includes every Webkinz Day gift ever created — that’s the cake, trophy and poster from years 1 – 5 — and the eStore exclusive Big Pile of KinzCash Bed, Magical Webkinz Wardrobe Replica and Fountain of WOW. Contest is now open — enter now!
Super Collector
Considering the collection includes all the plush (except one), all eStore pets and most of the accessories, Jagularkinz is definitely the number one Super Collector! But we thought webkinz2011′s collection video was cute and funny (thanks to one curious chihuahua), so he’ll be getting a code, too!
Most Creative
We have a three-way tie for Most Creative. From the wonderful rendition of “My Favorite Things” by donna5611 to the hip hop styling of TheBadBBoys1 to the skilful animation by DIBS813, we truly have some amazing, talented members. Congratulations to everyone! And congratulations to Geoffrey, the winner of the draw held on Webkinz Newz itself.
