A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Our Webkinz World Forum Rares in the Curio Shop.

A place to get info for the newbies. And ask questions.
About once a day (but sometimes not and sometimes twice a day)Arte will offer a rare item that can only be purchased in the curio shop. You are only allowed to buy one rare type a day. Once in a while a rare is given as an adoption gift too. There are four basic room themes offered in rares only Medieval, Aztec, Ancient Civilization, and Egyptian. The walls and floors of these themes are also considered a rare. I will post screen shots of my rooms with all of the items I have so far.
Then there are some rares without a theme, like a hot air balloon, or a fancy fountain, or an in-home bowling alley and a few others.
First my least filled-in room, the Aztec theme. A work in progress:

The red carpet in this room and in some others that you will see is not a rare but is only sold in the curio shop (CSO- curio shop only) and when it is in there you can buy more than one at a time.

The next is the Medieval rooms (I learned to spell that word from webkinz, never could remember it before)
The throne room. Pay no attention to the missing table. I have it but the Candelabra and dummy are kinda stuck right now.

And the royal sleeping chamber

That is a hot tub in the middle of the room. The hot tub is another rare but not worth the money because it behaves just like a bath tub.

The ancient civ room

And the last two are still my favorites, I think. Egyptian throne room and bedroom:

Thank you so very much for all the advice Tina--I know what I like better now----it is so nice to see it all done--or most of the way--

What theme(s) do you like? I have some spares in my webkinz attic.

to be honest the only one I do not like is the Aztec---

My favorite is the Medieval------
then the Ancient civilian
coming in 3rd is Egyptian

and may I say you did a really nice job with the rooms----
question: did you take 2 large rooms for each "room"???
ie: one for the throne room & 1 for the sleeping chamber??/


and thanks for the heads up on the red carpet---
I was looking all over the W shop for it--LOL

I always buy large rooms. You cannot use small rooms and decorate (or cram storage into) them effectively.
I will see what Medieval items I have available. And I do have extra red rugs.

Oh I forgot about the wacky scientist theme. It does not come with its own walls and floors.

There are other room themes available only in the curio shop. They are retired themes that used to be available in the W-shop. You can also buy as many pieces of these as you want when they are available. I do not have any rooms to show you.. The old country theme and the cat theme are two of them.

tina, what animal is in the bed in the science theme?

That is a spotted leopard I think.
The rare this hour is imperial side table from the Ancient civ theme.

Nope, I lied. It is a regular leopard.

it's cute!

I named him Spot and got him for the sofa he came with. The poor thing has been stuck in that bed for months

poor baby

oh my goodness--well it is mine now(I bought it)--how AM I to know what theme these things go to??/ they are not titled as such---(or at least i do not see it that way)???

a spotted leopard huh---cool----

I got to know the different rares and the themes they belong to by going to sites and learning. Most of the themed items I showed you pictures of so you had a clue.
That is not the most beautiful or interesting table they make, is it?

no actually it is not-but I thoguth if nothing else it would make a nice gift as it is not common--I guess I will have to keep track of this thread----
