Earlier this summer we announced that we would be changing our retirement program. Instead of retiring a pet each week, we will be retiring a pet each month. Plus, players who have adopted the retired pet on their account can play the Counting Sailboats game EVERY Sunday of the month! Retired pet owners will also receive a special gift box on the last Sunday of the month that’s filled with goodies.
We are pleased to announce that the Webkinz Plush Panda is retiring in September! The Panda has been a very popular pet and was originally released back in 2006! It is officially retiring this month along with the Ming Vase Panda Fridge and Bamboo Pandaloni, the Panda’s adoption gifts:
Webkinz Panda owners can play the Counting Sailboats game EVERY Sunday this month and try to win a rare piece of clothing that can ONLY be won by playing the game. You can access the game from Today’s Activities:
Panda owners can also pick up a special gift box from Today’s Activities on Sunday September 28th. Want to know what’s inside? We’re going to reveal what’s in the gift box RIGHT HERE on Webkinz Newz Monday, September 8th!
The Webkinz Plush Panda has been a very popular pet so I’m sure there will be many people participating in the retirement activities throughout the month. Congratulations Panda owners… your pet is now a collector’s item!
Do you have a Webkinz Panda? What do you think is inside that Retirement Gift Box? Please leave your comments below…
Sorry to see this guy go. I do have him luckily.. I have most of the bears.
I have this cute little guy too :)
and the bear Webkinz I have are the Black bear, polar bear, and Panda :) I don’t have too many bear Webkinz but I still like them :)
to be honest, i dont really get y they r saying : congrats ur pet is retiring!!! but it is cool that we get prizes!!!!!
Because it makes your pet’s item go up in value. And every year after that the value goes up and up. It’s a trader thing.
Should have said it’s a trader/collector thing.
Does this include the lil kinz panda? -BT
Unfortunately no, because that’s considered a different pet.
I have the Big Kinz Panda :0
me too, playnowpuppy!
Yes I have a Retiring Panda Plush and I love my Panda . Thank You Roland22
I do too :)
I have a panda, but it came with a Caring Valley tag. Does that count? I love the new program to!
Yes it counts! It’s the same Panda.
Ok good! Now I’m really excited for Sunday!!
Oh and BTW (this is totally unrelated but i thought i would share this.) , probably a few months ago, my cousins grew out of webkinz. :-( BUT they let me have some of them!!! One was a Webkinz Fox, but the thing is… Her nose was gone!! I think my baby cousin got a hold of her. :( But good thing i know how to sew!! yesterday, I grabbed a needle and thread, and did a little “nose replacement” on her. It turned out really good!! now, she has a threaded nose. I also gave her some cute clothes to wear. She is my first, CUSTOM WEBKINZ!
Awesome that is so cool I love to sew too pink100j :) Yesterday my mom took me too a store and she let me get a Webkinz! I got the Golden Lion Tarmian! I made her a girl and named her Sunset because of her yellow and orange fur :)
Why don’t you post a picture of her on the Share Center? You can do it with her outfit on in the “Webkinz Fashionz” (I think they did it with a “Z”) section!
Good idea Pokekinz!! I will see if i can figure it out… LOL. In the meantime, I think I will post a video on YouTube about her. :)
That’s so cool! Some things happen for a reason!:) P.S I don’t know how to sew!:(
Yeah, I love sewing! :)
I cannot sew. I just can’t. I really wish I was a good seamstress, so I could make clothes for my Webkinz and fix them up when they break… Poor Annabeth (Annie online) has a broken mouth, and a lot of my pets have the strings in between some of their toes pulled out………..
Ganz – i bought a virtual panda – sooooo cute! – will i be eligible for the retirement goodies, too? thx!
Well, it did say webkinz plush panda….I hope it lets you!
Hi SavannahSong, If it’s a regular panda it should. If it’s a different type of Panda i.e. Signature or Lil’Kinz etc. it doesn’t count. Hope this Helps.
Yes u will be able to get this pet even tho it’s vurtual :)
I have the plush panda :3 hes so cyuute
He looks adorable!
I have a Webkinz Panda. Her name is Amanda. I think i got her about two years ago as a Christmas prestent from my grandparents. I am kind of sad that she will be retiring, but I can’t wait to find out what the prizes are!!
Yeah, I have her too!! So glad they decided to make gift boxes for them!!! YAY!!! I wish we got those for all my other pets that retired. I have ALOT of retired pets! :)
ikr! I don’t have alot of retired pets, but i think i have a few. One time, at a resale place, they had a gazillion webkinz there and like three of them were retired!! AND each webkinz was only 50 CENTS!!! I got a manatee (yes THIS YEAR) and a guinea pig. No they did not come with the code, but it was really cool to get some retired pets. :)
Really? What was the name of the store, pink100j? I would really like to shop there! :D
It was just a reasale place in Texas. Soo, i don’t think you can get it for that price andywhere else sry!
Yeah I have this pet too everyone :) and still even tho those pets didn’t have codes 50 cents for a retired webkinz is a really good deal :)
Cool name!:) I wish I had this pet, but congratulations to all who do!!!:D
Where can we play the sailor game?
it’s the counting sailboats game and you’ll find it under Today’s Activities, but you can only play it if you have the retiring pet, in this case, the panda. :D
no i dont have a code i have a plush not a code im so sad
I can totally relate. I have a Guiena Pig webkinz, (and i got it when it was retiring) but it was just the plush. It was for 50 cents so i didn’t care. But i had wished that it came with the code…
Yeah I have this pet with the code but I’m so sorry for u guys :(
wait, the guinea pig is retired??? I have one and I never knew!! does this mean I can play counting sailboats?
I think, they mean the Lilac Guinea Pig.And, you can only play counting sailboats in the week (now month) of the retirement of that pet. Hope that helps a little. :)
Hi Keyy20 :) Yes the Guinea Pig is retired :( I’m afraid that u can only play the counting the sailboats game if It’s the Panda that is retireing this month :( sorry
Awesome!!! I have this pet on several accounts. Wish we got credit for every Panda on one account. I won this pet a lot with the Trading Cards so have more than one Panda on my account.
Has anybody else notice that you get a eStore Pets if you get a free account? And Congrats to everyone who has this Webkinz!
Oh yeah, I read that on another website that has news about Webkinz. They said…um, I think they said Striped Zebra, Ice Fawn, Leonberger, Afghan Hound, and some others, (don’t remember the rest)
Yeah I think those are some of the ones prprprprp :) Anyway yeah I have this pet so I’m kinda sad about this :(
Really? Why are you sad? I used to always be sad when I had a pet that was retired when I was younger, but then my sister said that she likes it when one of her pets retires, it’s like, wow, I have this pet, good thing, because if I didn’t, I probably wouldn’t be able to own one ever! And anyway, you get to tae part in all the cool stuff for this pet! :) Or and, I think the wolf is one of the pets too. (different topic)
Because this pet won’t be made anymore :( Also I love to get the same pets that I have to give to friends because It’s like we have twins but now I can’t well it will be exspensive to get a retired one :( Oh well at least I have this pet at least we both do so we can play the game and get the prizes yay!
AND WE CAN DO THE SAILBOAT GAME FOR A MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got the panda from a trading card too! I’m so excited!!!!!!
How can you get pets from trading cards?!?!?!?
Oh my
I have the life vest but I don’t have a panda…….
I don’t have a panda, but I have the life vest, too. I haven’t been around for any of my pets that are retired, either. I think I won it from a challenge? I can’t remember.
I got the life vest from a challenge :) But right now I am so sad I have this Webkinz . . .
I have the life vest as well. Had no idea it was sailboat prize. I’m pretty sure its from a challenge.
are you kiding me you guys are giving away priceless? because captin and sailor i am pretty sure is priceless! dang i wish i had a panda!
I have a panda named Jay does anybody want PSF?
I love the sailing outfits! Redgreen, what does PSF mean?
What is PSF? I never have any retired pets when they come out. But it means there can be more people like me with that same pet, right?Also I think the box looks AMAZING!
Is it just the regular sized panda retiring or is it the Lil’Kinz or both? I have the Lil’Kinz panda. So sad the panda is retiring. :(
aww I really wanted one of those
