Anyone or anyone's kids into this? My 8 year old just got two and recently signed up. It is so cute. I was wondering if there were any tips out there? We just found out about the wheel of wow you can spin each day for a prize as well as the wishing well you can earn cash from each day too.

I really think this is such a well thought out idea. My only reservation is that it might get too addicting for a little kid.

Yay, I was hoping someone else collected them. We have around 10 of them, including Cheeky Monkey!

You can do the Wheel of Wow on a daily basis, but you get more money doing the quizzes. We also visit the Curio shop for the gem hunt. Also, your local store probably has the trading cards. They give you lots of kinz cash and prizes. They cost around 2.50 for a pack of them. You just put in the codes enclosed in the package. We are working on getting charms, but they are very difficult to find. We only have the bracelet.

I let Em think SHE collects them, but I think they are adorable and fun.

My sister collects them, and it's become such a craze, that kids will STEAL the registration number from each other, so they get that person's pet online.
It happened to my sister's best friend.

It's like Beany Babies almost, except updated for the times. Haha

It is as bad as beanie babies used to be. My grand-daughter has 27. I have 7. She recently moved to NC, so we got webcams, and play Webkinz everyday. We can see each other while we play the games.

That's so neat! She probably thinks you're a cool grandma!
Do you play Cash Cow? It's sort of like Bejeweled.

Webkinz are very collectable now. Check out Cheeky Dog's value!

I don't know! I do think you can buy all the Penguin stuff with the blue ice furniture. I don't know about the snow, though.

Oh gosh...yes!!
My two youngest have a total of 19 WK!! They visit each other's rooms, play tournaments...all the neighbor kids have them, and they try to get as many rare items as possible.
We are very much into the gardening and cooking activities. My 6 yr old thinks it is a blast to cook up one of their concoctions, and she tries to figure out Chef Gazpacho's mistakes!
I'm not getting into that whole Beanie Baby craze where we have to have the hard to find WK, or worry about selling them for profit. I just want them to get the ones they like and enjoy playing w/them.
We did buy a couple of the bookmarks, we got codes to get free books from the 'W' shop. And there is a new line of lipglosses and body spritzes w/codes so you can get all the room furnishings for the new salon.
I love playing Goober's Lab and Tile Tower. I so suck at CashCow2!! LOL

If you buy a stove, blender, grill, sandwich maker or something similar, you can cook with them. Anything that is interactive will say it when you buy it in the store.
If you buy a Webkinz product like trading cards, or charms, bookmarks..etc.. it can unlock the rare stuff.

Also, the curio shop has one rare item a day for sale. You just never know which hour it will be, so it's luck finding one and having enough kinzcash to buy it! LOL
And if you buy a TV, you can watch the chef Gazpacho show. He'll give you a recipe, but one of the ingredients will be wrong and you have to figure out which food item you need need to make his recipe correctly. This is what gets my DD excited, going through the food list and picking out what she needs to create the recipe. And when she does it right, she is thrilled!!

Wow, I didn't know there was so much to these webkins. My granddaughter collects them and goes online. It's like Sims for kids. I'll have to look into the 'rare stuff' you are talking about Twiggyish and the Penguin things. Sounds interesting.

QUESTIONS:

Anyone having trouble with their wacky bingo balls? It keeps telling us we got our balls for the day when we never got them. This has been going on for a few days. All other daily activity things are working fine.

AND where the heck can you ask them a question and get a response (if it is not a question that they have premade for you to click on (in the contact us/question area)??? Very frustrating to not have so much as an email address in their customer support area!

I don't know if it would help or not, but their parent company is Ganz. Here's the link if you want to try them:
http://www.ganz.com/ Looks like a fun website anyway for Halloween! I haven't been on Webkinz in a while. I'll have to test the Bingo thingy.

Help anyone with a Webkinz acct. Can you log on today? I keep getting a weird message that says something about not being able to adopt today....

Also the wacky bingo thing started working earlier this week.

My friend at work went on and got a webkins acct, and then hacked it and ran a few programs to gain rewards while he wasn't even on the site. LOL This is a 30 year old guy. hahahaha.

HELP! My dh can access this site from his computer at work, so i don't think it is a webkinz glitch. But look at the screen when we try to log in: (It will not let the cursor type anything and the words like "password" and "username" are not there...

ANY suggestions???

go to the main webkinz page and look for the help topic or the parent section and go from there. Do a clean up on your computer, spyware, adaware and a cookie delete. I also tried it from my computer here and it worked.

Skootz if you are ever looking for some, (I think you are from out this way) Coyle's in Tillsonburg had shelves upon shelves of them, my niece and nephew are very into them.

thanks Jasper. I have been getting them in London at Bonnie Toggs. (Hyde park location) they usually have about 20 different ones at a time. My cousin is out that way and I will let her know, they are all so cute and unique. I will remember this if I ever am in Tillsonburg shopping.

I have been purchasing them for birthday gifts for kids friends. I then go to the dollar store, get a cool soft blanket and a back pack for it, the love it.
