webkinz


Recommended Posts

OK, Thanks. I talked to the guy at my store and he said they sold out already and they will not be getting another shipment because it was a limited edition. I hope i find them in time for easter. I found them on one site but they wanted to charge me 14.00 for shipping. I am sorry but that is just crazy. Thanks for your help.

I was at Hallmark today and she told me the Valentine's webkinz sold out in a week. If they come out with an Easter model it will probably sell out just as quickly. I would try to befriend someone at the store you frequent to see what days they get their shipment and go in on that day -- or chances are ... you are going to miss it...

 

My kids just love these things!!!!

 

Did you try ebay?

Now I have to know--are these mainly for girls or do they have one for boys as well?

I bought them for my sons. They did like them, but my ds10 is so hung up on Club Penguin that it's all he wants to do! He saved up his money until he got $30 for me to sign him up for 6 months, lol. It's a similar sort of thing, but I think Club Penguin is a bit more detailed and his friends from school play Club Penguin. On Webkinz on Valentine's Day you got a Valentine's gift. I helped ds5 to make sure he got it. He can't read yet, so it's a bit hard for him, although he enjoys it. I think it's similar to Animal Crossing, which I happened to love! I bought a Game Cube a couple years back just so I could play that game, lol.

Good luck finding them! They are already in stores and sold out!! I was able to have my local store that sells them hold two for me, so my boys are each getting one in their Easter baskets. But your best bet is to call all the stores around you, ask relatives to call stores! Stores I have heard are only getting in one shipment and the factory is out of any more. They are very rare ones!

OMG my girls LOVE Club Penguin! They heard about it at school, and it's all they want to do.

I'm not so keen on paying, though...Is it worth it?

If you go to thier website you can go on and find a store locator. Not just hallmark has them. I found a site that has them but am unsure. I am waiting til Monday to call thier cust service # to try and verify that they are ligit. They are from California. My daughter 7 has tried club penguin but it was a little to hard for her. She has had webkinz for 2 months now and thats all she does. She even stopped playing with the DS she got for X-mas. She learned how to play checkers from this site!! It is a great learning site too....

OK, so I had to look up these Webkinz... my girls would really like this! Can you find them anywhere besides Hallmark? Does it cost any more than the price of the animal?

 

Thanks in advance,

Joanne

Once you pay for the animal it does not cost anymore. You do not need to enter even your email or name or address.

Apparently he thinks it is, lol! He went out during the ice/freezing rain storm we had last Wednesday to sell hot chocolate to make some more $$ toward his Club Penguin, lol. He's been NAGGING incessantly for about a month now to sign up and I refused to do the $6/mo recurring on my card. I told him nothing that is recurring, only one time fees. He figured out that he could sign up for the 6 months and went on a mission to get the money, lol. He ended up paying me one $10 WalMart gift card, $17 (a 5 and the rest 1's), and $3 in quarters. He was BEGGING me because I said I would not take coin, lol. After he went to search all his drawers, emptied his wallet, sold the hot chocolate, and tried so hard, then I agreed. ;)

 

He just got the paid account on Friday and he was SOOOO excited. He left for his dad's around 8, but before he left he said, "You should see all the stuff I got in just 3 hours with the paid account!" He is enthralled, lol. The first thing he did was go and get more Puffles.

 

To be honest, I think Club Penguin is better for him, but Webkinz is probably the better choice for ds5. Even that's a little hard for him still because he can't read. He loves Noggin.com.

When we were looking for Webkins all of our hallmark stores were sold out. We actually found ours at the gift shop in our hospital.They had lots of them. We just checked the Webkins website to find out where they were sold in our area. This was our last stop,but should have been our first. :yup:

I'd like to find one too...

 

It's amazing how these have become so popular recently. Up until a few weeks ago, the shelves were always packed with them around here. Now, every store we've gone to look for them is almost entirely sold out!

 

I guess I should have picked up the Cheeky Cat (retired) when I saw it and sold it on eBay, because at the prices I'm seeing that one and the dog go for on there, I might not feel so bad paying the inflated price for Sherbert Bunny... (anyone remember the beanie baby craze?)

My store has a BUNCH if there are any you are looking for I will be happy to check for you.

I havent seen sherbet bunny but they did have th hippos cheeky monkey, black bear.

st bernard, He had some valentine bunnies behind glass so I assume they are more money.

I am amazed at what they go for on the bay!

I just heard about these a couple of weeks ago. I checked on their website for the place closest to me that sells them and it is at the gift shop of the hospital where my husband works so I bought one for each of my kids for their Easter baskets and was able to use his discount too:) I think they will really like them!
