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…
When will you put this retired pet in the Estore and W-shop like what happened to the other retired pets?
Hi migrubbs! Kinz will eventually add the panda to the E-store but don’t worry u have a month to buy the Panda webkinz :)
I’m soooooo sad I can’t believe the panda is retiring I have a few pandas but I’ll miss him
I’m so sad too I have the panda webkinz :(

Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY! I have it!! :D Love the new idea with the gift box, wonder what’s inside it! :D And I can’t beleive it, counting sailbouts every week?!? Yay! I’m so excited! :D
Oh and, I also like that they are giving us a chance to get the pets before they retire. Anyone know if the koala is already retired? I wanted to buy the lil kinz, but if it is not already retired, then maybe I should buy the big one. (Please no body steal my name, would be devastated) I’m naming HER Alberta Einstien-Ett! :D LOL! :) Again, I would like to keep the name until I have already got and named her. Please? Just thought it would be funny to share that. :)
Ha ha I get it Alber Einstein because of the koalas white puffs of hair :) Well I’m happy to say the koala webkinz is not retired! I have the little kinz one :) It’s adorable I totally recomend it :)
will you be able to purchase them in the E-store like others in past retirements
I’m pretty sure u will because all the other pets ever retired were sold at the E-store :)
But only for a week!
Wait actually for a month!
Well done, Ganz! I love the new way you are going to retire pets! Kohl and Koda, my own Pandas, send you their thanks as well!
What cute names for your pandas ccaenine2 :) I really like them :)
What changes when a pet is retired? You can still play it in the game can’t you?
Yes! It just means that no more of that pet will ever be sold, because they’re sold out of our warehouse.
Yeah, and they won’t sew any more, so, if you find one in a store, it’s because it had it already. :)
and You should definetlly buy that webkinz because It’s retired!
Gennelle, Can you put this retired pet in the Estore and W-shop like what happened to the other retired pets? Because I have some pets that might retire and want to get them from my W-shop or Estore.
Yes, this Panda will be in the eStore for sale, probably next week!
OhOh, Thank you so much!
Gennelle, when do you think the curious mouse, spring songbird and pixie bunny will come back to the estore?
And when will the patchwork leopard will come back to the estore?
