TINA!!! i'm telling faye!!!! You did it! maybe i should send loz a pretty scarf she can tie it over her eyes! good thing there's only like 9 things in there, i bought 3 and dropped a cool $20 YIKES " i am a webkinz addict, and i know it!"
Is that run by Ganz then? It's safe to use your cc number on there?
You guys actually pay all that money for that stuff? The inground pool and waterfall caught my eye. And I'm a webkinz addict too. I think the stuff is a little pricey for being virtual though, with no pet or no cards included.....
i got the big fridge,(holds 15 items} the waterfall (takes up 4 squares) and the inground pool, which i haven't placed yet.... i looked at it this way, i have umpteen complete sets of both series of virtual cards, so i really only buy them now for the codes thrill anyway. alot of times i will pay $3 for a single pack and get 3 food items for it. that's a burn, to me. but if i get a pack and it has a rare in the code, cool, but it's a gamble without guarantee. at least in the e-store i can see exactly what i get for the money, then indulge. if you bought one of everything in there, it would cost ya $84. that's a whole box of trading cards and the mystery they hold till you type in the codes... and that is still fun in it's own right, right?

You can't send the estore stuff in the kinzpost nor sell it yet. So you are stuck with it. Until they change the rules on that. They will be adding more things. People on the Asian accounts got a sneak peek before they took the stuff back off. Virtual pets not available in stores. You will be able to buy kinzcash. Yes, Loz, it is a ganz thing and I hope it is safe to use a cc there. It is the only place I have ever used a cc online yet. I'm a chicken.

You are quite welcome, Loz. I'm glad you like it. I don't think I have ever missed a day logging in since I adopted my first. I may not have done much on a few days, but I always take care of the dailies.

I have a pool in my backyard, Loz, heated in winter, 8 foot deep. I don't much use it unless I am taking Teddy swimming. I really have a hard time with the sun these days and reflecting off water is worse. We do go night swimming sometimes too. There is another pool at my disposal, larger, unheated, only 5' deep, right on the ranch next door. I never get in that one. Much too cold for my old bones and Ted's skinny ones. Ted swims twice a week at school in an indoor pool as well.

Sorry to the others for going off topic....but is it an inground pool then Tina, I guess it is to be that deep. Didn't realize you had one. I'm loving our little $200 investment---best money we spent. I feel like a kid again, wish we'd have got one years ago. From about 6pm onward my entire backyard is shaded so I don't have to worry about the sun---I burn.
Lucky you, you can swim all year round then!!!! I floated around on a raft yesterday and I swear I could've fallen asleep out there. So comfy.
can you put a screenshot here of it in your plant shop? i put the charm flooring in one plant room, but i will never get another one of those! i like the looks of that fancy stonework with plants.
I like it! And you know me, I have a bed in every room so the butterfly bed looked nice in there.
What ticks me off is that it's not even spaces from the door to the side of the room....One side is 4 and one is 5....drives me nuts when decorating sometimes.
YES, I too would like even quarters.....I'd also like to see some form of rugs we could buy to put down, and mabye some cool wall sconce lights. Oh and I'd love to see some double doors that we could maybe upgrade too---like french doors or something.
I know, I want a lot.
OHHHHHHHHHHH, and I forgot....bigger windows....like really big long, wide ones.
Hey I just adopted my monkey! Named it Abu, the monkey from Aladdin!
I love his little banana hammock, and I got a cloud machine! I like that kind of stuff. I got my 10th wish token! Tina, do the prices of things in the wish factory change ever?
Oh I was a little disgruntled to get TWO of the mopeds. I wish they wouldn't give you two of the same thing in one adoption. That stinks.
The prices of the wish factory have changed once. Some of them came down a token, I guess. But most have been pretty steady since it started. I also wish they would apply the same rules to the regular exclusives that they have for the potm prizes; you don't double up until you have them all. I think the banana hammock is my favorite pet specific item, or close to it. I adopted my cheeky monkey last night after midnight. I named him Teddy after the first one (different account). I received the dex telescope. I think I might only need the cloud machine and balloon blower to complete the set of potm items, then I can regulate which one I get next by moving things to a different account when I am ready to adopt another. Yes, I am still having a lot of fun.

there was an ad for the webkinz cares pet of the month and it said it was the lilkinz cow. but specifically said it was the pet of the month....now i am wondering if it comes with token and all???? i know walgreens here has a ton of those! i gotta go get one now! just what we needed!
The w-cares pet of the month is different from the POTM. Some of them do come with a token if you choose the right box/gift. But not the potm items. They are introducing new w-cares pets each month. This month my walgreens has added the lil kinz cow and the grey and white cat. They all still have the cocker spaniel and most still have the orange and white cats and elephants from last month available around here.

i went after the lil cow and somehow came home with the grey and white lil cat and basset hound. i got a weird food thing, a jacket and a tv set, plus 470kc and the first try on the button got another 57kc for me and "kel w/Ducky". i like those things... the tv is cute. maybe a few days before the cow comes home. ha ha ha
I kind of like the w-cares items too. I have bought a few of the w-care pets. I liked when they were on sale for 5.99 last month. Walgreen's is so much closer than other webbie places. It keeps enticing me back.

Do you any of you guys go into the new trading room? Brennan is obsessed with it. He tries to get in constantly but doesn't have much luck. I got in there very late last night and got a rainbow bench that he had wanted really bad for a long time. He was so excited. I'm just curious what your experiences have been with it.

If you never have you should. These things are fun and fun is good.
It seems to be somewhat ok for me to do it, but I really feel like that kids get taken advantage of. Brennan has traded some high dollar rare stuff for little of nothing. But, I guess if the little of nothing stuff was stuff he wanted then the trade was worth while. We have quite a bit of rare and exclusive stuff but it seems hard to get a good trade. It has drove me nuts. I've had people put up the Dex Dangerous space ship and the new tractor and would absolutely not trade for anything we had. Brennan would have flipped for those.

I have gotten in a couple of times. But only traded small food type items for equal value stuff. I do worry about kids getting taken advantage of. I am not into trading too much but I will keep a watch out for the dex ship and the tractor for Brennan.

RATZINFRATZ darn working for a living is really biting into my webkinz time! will artie let ya buy another floor if you already have one? anybody? it sure is pretty, i am glad its coming thru the c-shop now.
Jeremy and I like Tootie Fruity. Little man is picky, though. I'll give him your suggestions in the morning when he gets up. Thank you. You know how he is, he'll probably name it Toucany!
Rachel
(the new and improved Mrs. rachelc)

Tina! Thank you. Brennan loves it. I didn't know what to send you for a thank you since you have everything. I sent some food. One is the special food for the toucan. I thought you could use it for trade maybe. One of Brennan's friends collects special foods. Apparently the kids really get into that. I meant to tell you that I got the tractor in the trading room the other day. Brennan adopted his toucan this morning and got the outhouse. He was tickled! Now the only things he really wants that he doesn't have is the ambulance and UFO.
Rachel
(the new and improved Mrs. rachelc)

Brennan is quite welcome. When I adopt my next potm, I can choose the item I want by taking the current one off that account. (I think). So I can send my ufo to another account and adopt and I should get a new ufo because I have at least one of all of the other potm items in that account. If it works. I traded for the items I didn't already have so I could do this. Did Brennan ever get his fastcar (Amer. cocker psi)? I am still having a lot of fun with this.
~Tina
Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)
And I don't have everything. Just most of the items that I want. I am collecting some of the gamers garden furniture from the series 2 cards if anyone has that junk laying around. I just sent off an ambulance to Brennan
~Tina
Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)
Yes, you can pm the codes. But I worry that people might be stuck forever with something they don't really want. You can't resell them in the w-shop either
~Tina
Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)
I haven't gotten him anything from the estore yet. In a way I kind of feel like it's a waste of money. But, on the other hand we have paid way more for a pet just for the PSI it comes with.
Rachel
(the new and improved Mrs. rachelc)

i bought that big fridge, holds 15 items and takes up a double space in the kitchen. i think it looks better than the 2 fridges i had side by side, and holds 3 more than that set-up did. i still have extra fridges in storerooms full of food. i like to do the cooking, blending, sandwiching thing though. and i try to help "solve" the new recipes as they come out. so i get alot of complaining about the GAK< GUNK< GLOP thing the inground pool is cool, cuz you can place it right by a doorway and still see the way out. and the big fountain is a nice prominant animated presence in the garden. The trading card 2 fountain is just wonderful, but it took forever to "earn" it. i would have paid real money for that in a new york minute!(and i did, by buying $200 worth of trading cards ) it's my favorite thing in the yard "today" and i would show ya a screenshot of it, but webkinz is down for maintenance this am. i would much prefer to spend kinzcash for this stuff, but when you think about it, its just like any other hobby you throw money at.
I also have the waterfall and I love it. I couldn't resist the suit of armor and the train set. I'm a sucker for toys too. I just spend most of my kinztime earning more and more kinzcash. So not a lot of cooking for me. I am a miser I guess.

If you have trouble accessing the new charm game, clear your cache. I was also able in one account to get in by minimizing the page and bringing it back up again. I do wish their instructions were a little clearer. It took me all 6 accounts before I felt like I might have an inkling of what I was doing
~Tina
Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)
I got nothing on four accounts (3 misses) on one I got a fairy biscuit and on another I got a star. Only 20 more to go! I have seen where some of the prizes included a space helmet and a space jacket (different prizes) so probably a whole suit is in there somewhere. There is also a star cookie. When you do get a star your tries stop and the fairy offers to buy it from you with a fairy puck. There is a cool looking item for your room to store your collected stars in in the w-shop (new items).
~Tina

Tina, I got kinz post from you but before it opened the account froze up and logged me out. I was hoping what was sent made it into our dock. Did you send the new star carousel? Thank you. We always really appreciate all of your wonderful Webkinz surprises.

Brennan does love to open packages. It tickles him. I know that is why you do it. He is amazed everytime you send something. Even if it's something from the w-shop. He always says you have "everything". He asked me once if you worked for Ganz!
Rachel
(the new and improved Mrs. rachelc)

I hope you told him that I don't work for Ganz. I really wouldn't want to. If it were a job it wouldn't be so much fun to play on ww. So he has all the vehicles except the ufo now? Cow milk truck? Elephant big top car?
~Tina
Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)
I told him you didn't work for Ganz, you are just the Webkinz Queen.
He does have the milk truck and I think he has the big top car. I think the only PSI cars he doesn't have is the rhino and cocker spaniel ones. As far as exclusives goes I think the UFO is the only one he doesn't have. Between you and Petunia you guys really hooked him up with those really good.
He did see a PSI yesterday he wants really bad if you ever come across one. It's the rainbow couch that came with the pegasus. We finally got the rainbow table the other day in the trading room and he wants that couch to go with it. I've got quite a bit of fairly cool stuff I can send in trade for whatever you come up with. Also, I'll keep my eye out in the trading room for any of the gamer's garden stuff for you.

That sofa is from a long retired pet. It is hard to come by. I almost got myself one in a trade but ended up without. If I see one hanging around, I will try for it. It is considered priceless in the gift exchange values. (It would cost a whole room full of furniture from the gameroom theme plus a few other exclusives for instance.) I just hope to see a pegasus myself in the back of a webkinz shelf.
~Tina
Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)
I told him I thought it would be really hard to come by. I look back to when we first started buying the pets and they had tons of the cheeky dog/cat and the pegasus. We didn't like the cheeky ones and Brennan thought the pegasus looked like a girls pet (even though he had just bought 2 poodles). I wish I had known then what I know now. I would have swiped every cheeky I could get my hands on.

when that star collector showed up in the w-shop new stuff at the end of their maintenance yesterday, i thought it was another glitch like the kilt and i grabbed 3 of them before i even read the front page about the star search silly ol pat! i got a star today tho!!! yay it was in the plumpy constellation.
And I think I sent you an additional one as well, Patunia. And one for lilsis, maybe. Brennan has his shinin rhino truck in his mailbox. I am working on the ufo.
~Tina

i have caught 3 stars so far, hit 2 shooting stars, but that didn't do anything but use my tries up and i got a cookie. the instructions are kinda sketchy, you think?
Sometimes the shooting stars give you pieces to the space suit. I have the helmet and the belt. So I will keep on going for them if I see them. Yes, their instructions always leave a great deal to figure out on your own. Trial and error. I need to start a spread sheet on which stars I have and need. But I am thinking that I will be selling them all off after getting one throne.

Have you all had any luck with the zingoz? They don't seem to be floating around very much. Me and Brennan have been on there quite a bit and have only gotten 3. I've become obsessed with Wacky Zingoz to get the trophy. I've gotten 2 so far. I couldn't count how many times I've landed within 2 feet of it. So frustrating. But, it is still fun. I love when they have the special stuff like that. It's fun looking for things floating across the screen.
We added a couple new pets this week. We got the lil cheeky black dog for Mommy's account and the crocodile for Brennan's. He is up to 60 pets now in his. He got the artist's bed this time. I've been informed now that I have to finish all of the art classes in the Kinzville academy so he can get the prize in there to go in his new "art" room.

I have been offered random amounts for stars. I am keeping them until I get multiples which hasn't happened yet. There is a chart somewhere with the values and what Alyssa may offer you. I will look that up and share it. I have had one plush wander through my room while I was there. And a friend sent me a 600 trophy so I am quite content with that. I don't have the right mind set to whack those butterballs around. Although when Ted is around I might drop in and do a few. He loves to watch that game. It doesn't matter if you get into the get into the 500's or stick your pointy head in the ground or come to a screeching halt or miss altogether. He thinks it is all fun!

I know that I saw a better chart somewhere and the base price offered with percentages off/on the base. But I'll be darned if I can find it now. Here is the next best. Divinadime [15][30][36][60][68][72][81] Deelight [75][135][150] Flouraflite [48][60][57][45] Frost Flake [320][400][480] Magmamite [20][45][140][200] Moon Bloom [36][48][57][60] Nocturnite [6][30][42][45][57][60]
Blushing Bulb [180][200][300][400] Chlorocosmo [53][71][113] Lunamite [350][360][425][450][540] Marrowmile [200][250] Nightnote [19][45][75] Skyprint [19][53][60] Twilight Twinkle [8][60][71][75][90] Those bracketed numbers are what is known to have been offered.

Athena decided she wanted to start a webkinz store.....she took all morning making it but there's not a lot in there and she's broke again. If anyone could send some little things to Avongirl I'd appreciate it greatly. Just some cheap little things even like plants or whatever.
She's made me pick stuff out to buy. When she leaves I'm going to send it all back to her.
Let me go log in, she'll be amazed.....She bought a room after seeing my storage room. I let her "shop" in it and pick 3 things out she wanted. So then of course she had to have a shop for me to shop in.
Thank you both. It can just be even the cheapest stuff. Just stuff to fill her shop with.
