The New Webkinz World Craze to Continue

New Webkinz, Fall 2007

Denise Nuttall
All indications point to the new Webkinz World craze is going to continue way past the holiday season. Not only for children, adults that were once big beanie baby collectors are now turning to buy Webkinz for there collectables.

Webkinz are nothing more than a fluffy toy pet that seems to come alive at webkinz.com where you build a virtual world for your virtual pet. Getting your hands on these pets, however, seems to be the main struggle. Webkinz animals are only sold in specialty stores such as Hallmark stores and fly off the selves as fast as they come in.

Also as soon as new Webkinz are released more are retired. These retired Webkinz are making there demands known in such places as eBay. Webkinz are one of the hottest searches at the current time on eBay, the world's largest auction site. Even the new Webkinz are being sold on eBay at an inflated price. Normally at retail price these stuffed animals sell for around $10.

It is expected at Christmas time this year a new Webkinz pet will be on many children's Christmas list. Along with the lead scare in toys from many of the major companies, parents will definitely be looking for alternative toy options for there children.

Here are a few releases for the new Webkinz:

1.) Pinto Horse - To Be Released - Late October, 2007

2.) Brown Arabian Horse - To Be Released - Late October, 2007

3.) German Shepherd - To Be Released - Late October, 2007

4.) Penguin - To Be Released - Mid November, 2007

5.) Turtle - To Be Released - Mid November, 2007

6.) Harbor Seal - To Be Released - Mid November, 2007

7.) Reindeer - To Be Released - This Christmas (Magical Santa Sleigh), 2007

For people starting their Christmas shopping you may want to begin your hunt for these new Webkinz now.

Webkinz.com has a store locater on there website to assist you in finding stores that carry these fluffy pets. Just call ahead and see what is in stock, if any, and when something will be coming in. You may need to order ahead of time to insure that you get what you are looking for. Do not be surprised if this is almost as difficult to find as the Tickle Me Elmo from years past.

The new Webkinz craze has not even peaked yet, so you can almost bet this craze is going to be well with us way into the coming year of 2008 and beyond.

    Sam is right! This is webkinz MURDER! I lost 12 webkinz to evil Mrs. Birdy! By the way, don't put "evil" in your username and password! Neopets set this up! F**K YOU NEOPETS!

    If you ever get three boxes (black, yellow, and red) exit out immediateley! Do not click on a box! The black box will transfer your account to the person who sent you the box. The yellow one will cause you to lose your possesions and money, and your webkinz will fall uncurably ill and die within 24 hours! The red box will cause a neopet to jump out with a knife and kill your webkinz! There are also other methods of this. On occasion, Miss Birdy or Doctor Quack will show up in your room, the lights will go out, their eyes will turn red and they will chop your webkinz head off! On occasion, Doctor Quack will use a chainsaw! And be careful! If a dog shows up with a package at your door he will open it for you and a neopet pops out and kills you! Or if you open your fridge a neo-bat will chase you around your room weilding a knife! The screen will partially freeze so you will have to exit rather that log out to avoid webkinz-slaughter! And beware of killer bears! This was set up by neopets
