Lately in our Webkinz Insider forum, we’ve seen scattered reports of members receiving Caring Valley tags with unusable sample codes on them.  As these reports have increased and we now have images of the faulty codes, we solicited Ganz for information on what these users should do to get new, working codes.

 

 

If you receive one of the faulty Caring Valley tags, which will contain the word "SAMPLE" plus a number after it, you should mail the tag directly to Ganz at the following address:

 

 

According to Ganz, these tags are part of the quality assurance program and appropriate parties have been notified of the issue.

As many of you Webkinz Insider fans and members know, from time to time our users stumble upon unannounced Webkinz at their local retail stores. Usually, these were mistakenly shipped early by Ganz, and our members know all of the new Webkinz coming out so they know a new one when they see it! In the past, our members have found the unannounced Webkinz Spotted Turtle, unannounced Webkinz Schnauzer, unannounced Webkinz Grey Arabian, and a number of unannounced Lil’ Kinz.

 

 

Today, we bring you news and pictures of the unannounced Webkinz Rooster from EllaBellaBoo99! Here are photos that she took of the Webkinz Rooster plush and the Webkinz tag — clear proof that the Webkinz Rooster is coming to Webkinz World in the near future! How soon?  We’re not sure, but we’re going to make the assumption that the Webkinz Rooster is for September.

We have received word that there appears to be a problem with the programming of the Tawny Pup’s Pet Specific Item, the Puppy Picnic Table.  For some reason, this item cannot be traded in the Webkinz Trade Room and it can’t be sent via KinzPost.  Hopefully the programmers at Ganz will get this glitch fixed soon.  Thank you to WI member blueeyes1113 for this picture from her account.  

 

Also in KinzPost glitch news, you may remember that when the Series 4 Trading Cards were released back in February of this year, we discovered that the Card Collector Pedestal could not be traded or sent via KinzPost.  As of last week’s system maintenance, this item can now be sent from one account to another.  This is fantastic news for our members who have had unwanted duplicates on their accounts.

Ever since Ganz changed the Deluxe Membership "gift date" to the first of the month for all Webkinz Deluxe members, our users have wondered what happens to those whose Deluxe Membership expires during a particular month — do they still get the gift?

 

Thanks to @sammymc83 on Twitter (sammymc on our Webkinz Forum), we now know the answer to that question — NO.  Her Deluxe Membership expires on August 9, and she received an e-mail today from Webkinz World that she had received her "final bonus gift". While no one could be sure what the policy would be, this is the correct and fair way to establish eligibilty for bonus gifts.

 

To clarify, the "Deluxe Bonus Gift" policy is:

As all of you have probably noticed and read on our previous article a week ago, 5 new exclusives were added while 5 old exclusives retired in Webkinz World.  As you know, the 5 retired exclusives are: Large Paned Window, Jelly Cactus, So Mod Moped, Toadstool Table, and the Blue Wagon. 

 

 

Looking at today’s newspaper headlines in Webkinz World, the Blue Wagon comes into the spotlight… In the picture for the news article, we are clearly shown a RED wagon instead! Is this an accidental preview of an exclusive item down the road or a simple mistake? Tell us your thoughts!
