Wednesday Updates: January 9, 2013

It is in reading the list of tags for this blog via Windows Live Writer, a feature this laptop apparently has, I realize just how many tags Let’s Talk Webkinz has. Well, guess what—now we’re adding more! Introducing the 2013 tag, which we will hopefully use a lot, and Deluxe-W-Shop, which we will hopefully never ever have reason to use again. While we’re off-topic, I recently realized the background for this blog resembles bacon. We now return to the matter at hand.

The first Wednesday update of the year features the addition of new clothing to the KinzStyle Outlet, and…the somewhat pointless conversion of the City Styling Theme, otherwise known as the Mocha theme, to a Deluxe-only W-Shop theme.

--Winterfest 2013 Begins January 11--

Speaking of confusing Deluxe-related shenanigans, the Winterfest challenge is rendered currently unwinnable as one of the tasks is to earn 20 KinzCash playing Waddell’s Icecap Adventure. Not that this a particularly difficult endeavor, but said game was recently converted to a Deluxe-only game. Non-Deluxies are getting the task anyway.

And speaking of Winterfest, it has begun a full 4 days early on January 11, as Asian accounts report the snowflakes already flying. WKN previously reported that this year’s Winterfest would end on the 27th, but they have revoked this previous statement and are now saying it will last from apparently January 11-20. This is still a good nine days of snowflake-catching fun, so get out there!

To learn about the previous 6 years of Winterfest fun—yes, it really has been that long!—check out this page of the Webkinz Insider Wiki. Winterfest takes some dedication, so if you happen to be in charge of dinner, then consult this list of meals compiled by Webkinz Insider staff. These are all meals that are wholesome, delicious, and that can be made in a cinch without having to be constantly attended to.

 

New Clothing Added to KinzStyle Outlet

Yeah, so Deluxe-only clothing remains a thing that exists.

Adventure Parka: 150 KC, Deluxe-only

Boys Green Plaid Shirt: 125 KC (yes, I know, they forgot an apostrophe)

Cat Ear Toque: 80 KC, Deluxe-only (…my question is why would your pet need this)

Cozy Sweater & Scarf: 130 KC (more scarfs YESH)

Howlin’ Hoody Vest: 105 KC (is actually pretty neat)

Knitted Flower Headband: 75 KC

Marshmallow Ear Muffs: 80 KC (finally!)

Polarberry Pants: 110 KC, Deluxe-only

Polished Ice Dress: 130, Deluxe-only

Sweet Snowflake Coat: 200 KC

Warm Toggle Jacket: 180 KC, Deluxe-only

Winter Buckle Boots: 95 KC, Deluxe-only

If you’re interested in more Winter fashions, check out the PJ Collie Peek-A-Newz going on from today until the 31st. This Peek-A-Newz includes three Webkinz Newz exclusive items, which are a black variant of the Winter Buckle Boots, a brown variant of the Adventure Parka, and a green variant of the Cat Ear Toque.

You do not have to be a Deluxe member to win these items!

I do advise that you make use of an ad-blocker, as there is currently a very obnoxious/irritating advertisement for some new show or somethin’ that will pop up around the site.

Wednesday Updates: September 26, 2012

The Fall Clothing and Halloween Costumes are here!

The second half of the clothing line should arrive in the next update on October 10.

The regular clothing items are not quite as inexpensive as last year's surprisingly low-cost Fall clothing prices...

Berry Pickin' Galoshes---140 KC
Big Blue Bow Belt----60 KC
Boy's Navy Cardigan and Scarf---190 KC
Fallen Leaves Headband---50 KC
Hunter Green Hiker Shoes---215 KC
Orange Sporty Warm-Up Zippy---175

The costumes that did not return from 2011 are the classic Candy Corn Witch Costume and the Zombie Costume.

The Halloween Theme is here!

Or the first half of it, anyway. Almost all of these items have returned from last year, with about three new ones. This theme is not for the faint of heart--or of wallet; buying one of every item will cost you a whopping 11,527 KinzCash.

From last year, we have...
Bone Chilling Fridge---750 KC
Cold Flames Cauldron---1,300 KC
Creepy Cursed Chair---250 KC
Freaky Full Moon Window---350 KC

Terrifying Torch---390 KC [animated!]
Witch's Banquet Place Setting---125 KC 
Super Scary Stove---1,031 [works like a regular stove]

New to the theme...
Green Ooze Puddle---95 KC [goes on the floor like a rug]
Slimy Sink---750 [works like a regular sink despite the slime]

 

Eager Beavers Announce Future Change to Kinzville!

According to Nuts and Bolts, the hosts of the game Eager Beaver, a great change that will "change the face of Kinzville" is going to occur on October 17, 2012.

We have no idea what this change is but cross your fingers that it isn't a total conversion to 3-D graphics because there will be a lot of boycotting if that happens. Most of it will be from me.

And now for something completely different: a Pokemon promotion!

I was surprised, too! To promote the US release of Pokemon Black and White 2, players who have not blocked 3rd party ads on their accounts will see a floating Pokeball from September 26 to October 21st. And the what is the prize for clicking on it? A Pokeball to put in your pet's room? An Oran Berry to feed to them (automatically increasing their health by 10)? A plush Pikachu? A Pokedex? A copy of Pokemon Special? Misty's overalls? The hat from the protagonist of Emerald, which would look adorable on your pet?






Nope. You get 50 KinzCash.

Wednesday Updates: June 20, 2012

The Summer line has arrived in the KinzStyle Outlet.

Also included in the current selection is the fashionable undefined, available in 6 extremely subtly different shades of Background Blue. (seriously though, I don't know what's up with that. Placeholders that messed up for the next update's second half of the line?)

The items that are defined, though, are as follows (from the top left corner to the bottom right corner):

Camo Trucker Cap---190 KC
Dog Bone Belt---60 KC
Floral Long Dress---250 KC
Girl's Khaki Shorts---95 KC (pffft male Webkinz could so wear that)
High Heel Sandals---150 KC
Leather Sandals---75 KC
Lime Green Shorts---80 KC
One Piece Summer Shorts---90 KC ("Nothing says summer like shorts! Your pet will love this one piece pair!" ...a singular item can become a pair while remaining a singular item?)
Rockerz Visor---80 KC
Striped Board Shorts---110 KC (I think this may be recycled from last year)

Show of hands: everyone who thinks the prices are a little inconsistent. [SHORTS! Available for females in brown for 15 KC more! SANDALS! Add heels for 75 KC more!]

Not seeing anything else to report, so I'll add that Webkinz is really going all-out with the "Webkinz is free to play" thing. They've started running in-game ads, reported it on WKN, and updated the home page to relate.

And that demo account I started on March 22 2012 is still operational, so I'm assuming there isn't a time limit for demo accounts. Lettie, the cat who lives in that account, is having her birthday on June 27 (the day before the Summer Sensation) apparently. Woot~ I got no idea how old she is, though. (I give my pets ages based on how old I think they are, not on how long I've owned them.)

Wednesday Updates April 25, 2012

Sorry about the delay. Went camping on Wednesday.

The second half of the Spring clothing has been added to the KinzStyle Outlet. 

 

From the top left corner to the bottom right corner, these clothes are:

-Striped Cotton Dress--300 KC

-Layered Skirt--200 KC

-High Cut Runners--175 KC

-Purple Denim Jeans--225 KC

-Long Knit Sweater--185 KC

-Blue Argyle Sweater--190 KC

-Spring Fedora--150 KC

-Beige Toque--80 KC

-Lemon Lime Sash--110 KC

-Checkered Board Shorts--200 KC

Also, three more WKN exclusive clothing items have been added.

GanzWorld Striped Cotton Dress; GanzWorld Layered Skirt; GanzWorld Spring Fedora

 These three items--along with the second half of the Spring line--can be found from April 27-May 9 at Webkinz Newz, in a click-to-win. Just look for the floating PJ Collie to win!

Two new Challenges have been added in Webkinz World.

These next few weeks, at least, will be a doozy for players keeping up with their Challenges!

The first is CampKinz Canoe Trip, which is unlocked after completing the CampKinz Counselor challenge. This Canoe Trip challenge is categorized as a Mega Challenge, which, according to WKN, has "more challenging tasks and better prizes". This challenge is the first Mega Challenge in Webkinz World!

And by Mega, they are not kidding. I just checked, and these are the first three tasks in the challenge:

Ask your friends for 30 Maps

Earn a total of 25,000 points playing Pinky's Big Adventure

And...earn a total of 250 KinzCash playing Zacky's Quest in the Arcade

Dear goodness. It's a good thing that those KinzCash and points will accumulate over plays, so you don't have to get it all in one shot. Let's get to playing, I suppose! 

The second challenge is Plumpy's Great Advice, named after the book of the same name. It is unlocked after completing the Smarty Pants challenge. If you have a free vacation ticket, save it for this challenge--you will need it. This challenge is much easier in comparison to the one above--buy a hat, buy a book, earn 3,000 points in Goober's Lab. There are, however, 6 sets of tasks.

Contrary to what the WKN article said, the Webkinz Road Trip map has not been added to the site. 

The article in question said that the Road Trip map would be added to the site on April 25, but they either haven't put it there yet, or they did and just hid it really well. 

A Retro Replay Video Challenge has been added to the POTM video, "Tiger Tiger". 

The video, which was made for the Bengal Tiger (POTM for July two years ago) featured an unidentified pink monkey wearing some sort of dress that you couldn't find anywhere else. The monkey later turned out to be a Glamorous Gorilla, which was released a few months later. And now, you can get her outfit, too!

Just watch the Tiger Tiger Retro Replay video here, and answer the trivia to win this dazzling Dance Party Dress:

Your pet even wears the bracelets!

And yes, the dress can be traded and sent in KinzPost. 

They finally fixed that thing where when you win stuff it doesn't show up in a window

Here, here, let me explain it.

A lot of months back, Ganz added a feature where, when you won a prize from WKN, a window would appear upon logging into your account that would tell you exactly what you won. This was a really helpful feature, especially for click-to-wins with random prizes, as there is an incredibly high amount of players who had so many items in their docks that they couldn't take the time to discover what they'd won.

Unfortunately, a few months later, accounts with a certain amount of pets found that the window didn't show up for them anymore. Eventually, nobody was able to see the window.

As of today's update, my account with 16 pets on it is able to see the window! (where we discover that we've won yet another rain coat.)

And in Let's Talk Webkinz related news, sometime today, we reached our 10,000th pageview!

Plus, we got 99 pageviews in all of yesterday, which happens to be the current record on this blog. Huzzah! The viewership has been doubled! 

Thank you to everyone for helping us get this far!

Wednesday Updates April 11 2012

The Spring 2012 Clothing Items Released To KinzStyle Outlet; Winter 2012 Line Retired 2 Weeks Earlier Than Announced

Not a large array of clothing this Spring, but what is offered is quite nice! I'm particularly fond of that Zum Buckled Belt.
They are, from upper left to lower right:
Tan Leather Skirt (200 KC)
Denim Dress (325 KC)
Striped Turtle Neck (180 KC)
Spiral Designer Dress (350 KC)
Laced Heels (250 KC)
Gray Cardigan (110 KC)
Polka Dot Rain Boots (125 KC) (does not come with rain puddle)
Polka Dot Rain Hat (90 KC)
Polka Dot Rain Coat (200 KC)
Zum Buckled Belt (75 KC)

In addition to these clothes, three pieces of WKN Exclusive clothing will be available somehow in the future, if you're interested in Springtime Laced Heels, a Springtime Leather Skirt, or a Springtime Cardigan. 

Additionally, the entire Winter 2012 line has been retired a full update later than expected! WKN announced that these clothes would be retired from the KinzStyle Outlet on April 25, but this is apparently no longer true. You can see all of these clothes in this LTW article.

A new Roleplaying room has been added to the Clubhouse. 

This new room is called the "Glam Boutique", and it's the perfect place to let your inner girly girl frolic. (Or to stay far far away from. The WKN article uses the word "glam/glamorous" 7 times not including the headline, so...)
There are lines for a stylist, a receptionist, and a client.

Webkinz have hair. Invisible hair. It's canon!(?)

Congrats, random Jellybean Puppy/Pig/Tawny Pup/Chipmunk, you're in the news. (I'm the Okapi.)

 Webkinz has released a new Lite App for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. 

This game is called "Cloud Corral", and it's free to play up to level 5. It is not in the Webkinz World Arcade, too--app only!

Shiny Zumbuddy! His name is Zoom.

In this game, you need "ample wit and skill" to defeat those clouds sent in by Nafaria. How? We dunno; WKN wasn't too detailed. Buy purchasing the full version of Cloud Corral, you can collect KinzCash to send to your Webkinz World account.

The second half of the Creative Studio theme has been released in the W-Shop.

It consists of :

-Art Easel, 200 KC. Click on it and it will paint a picture for you.
-Art Painting Wall Art, 90 KC. Features the same scene the Art Easel paints.
-Art Station, 400 KC.
-Beanstalk Art Poster, 60 KC. 
-Ice Sculpture Fridge, 780 KC. Can store 6 food items.
-Music Guitar Table, 375 KC. Works like any ol' table.
-Music Note Chair, 250 KC.
-Music Note Wall Art, 50 KC.
-Potter Kiln Oven, 350 KC. Operates like an ordinary oven.
-Potter's Wheel, 550 KC. Complete with chair to sit on.
-Theatre Bed, 800 KC. Exactly what it says on the tin.

So for the price of 7,175 KC to buy the entirety of a creative, innovative theme, that's not too bad!

A new Video Challenge has been added for "Mustache Louie".

By watching the POTM video for the Schnauzer, the Pet for January 2010, and answering some trivia, you will win this Pretty Flower Dress here for your Webkinz pet.

Wednesday Updates 18/1/12

As promised, the new game, "Scrambled", is out in the Arcade for all to play. 

I express slight concern for the omelet-making chickens.

Valarie VonScribe at Webkinz Newz has posted a how-to video, in case you need a little bit of help. 
In this new game, players are given the role of a chef for a restaurant, serving omelets to hungry Webkinz customers. You earn 1 KinzCash per every 40 points. 
You are given a flat of 12 eggs at the beginning of each level, and they don't regenerate until the start of the next level, so try not to waste them! 

This is what the layout will look like.

At the beginning of each level, a customer will arrive. Click on the customer to get their order.
Wherever the customer sits is where their order appears on that metal clipboard ring up there--for instance, a customer sitting on the far left side of the screen will have their order appear on the far left side of the ring.

Now that you know the customer's order, you can begin to make it. First, click on the egg flat to put the egg in the blender. (the eggshells automatically move to the trashcan under the counter.
Next, click on the bowl with whatever filling the customer wants for their omelet. In this case, it's onion, so click on the bowl with green chunks in it, and it will be added to the blender. Finally, click on the blender to mix it up, and click on the grill in front of your pet to start frying.

At first the omelet will look like this. After a few seconds, it will turn golden brown. Click on it when it does to fold it in half, and wait until it turns golden brown again. Then, click on the customer who ordered that omelet to give it to them.

Now you have served the first customer! Repeat these steps for every customer.
Some tricks I have discovered are:
Put the filling in the blender before the eggs to save a few seconds of time.
You can multitask. For instance, take an order while mixing up the omelet, and serve the omelet to a customer while preparing another one.
If your memory is good, you can try to fry multiple omelets at the same time.
If frying multiple omelets, don't serve one to a customer while pouring another onto the grill. You'll lose the omelet you've just poured.
You can blend the omelet before the filling is all the way to the blender.

Unlike what I previously thought, the customers in the game are totally randomized Webkinz, not some of your own. However, the pet you're playing as is the chef. The game is a good choice for those who play games for KinzCash, however, it can get pretty confusing very quickly. Practice will be key for this game! 
Remember that you get a neat trophy if you get past Level 10. 

To celebrate this new game, Webkinz Newz is having a Click-To-Win. Daily from Jan. 19-27, 2012, (excepting Jan. 21 and 26) watch for a flying omelet at Webkinz Newz. Click on it and fill in the form to win an Omelet, Egg Chair, or Egg T-Shirt! Exciting!

Here they are!

The Clubhouse has been updated, and The Classroom has been added.
Unfortunately, with the new layout, you cannot choose what room number you end up in, as it appears that this system has been done away with entirely and everybody ends up in the same room. 

I've made a list of the gains and losses from this new system.

There are more items added to the Winter 2012 KinzStyle Outlet line.

These items are:

• Blue Earmuffs (120 KC)
• Embellished Foldover Boot (170 KC)
• Flannel Cuff Khakis (210 KC)
• Fuzzy Winter Hat (90 KC)
• Lime Bubble Coat (160 KC)
• Mock Neck Sweater (140 KC)
• Polar Fleece Coat (150 KC)
• Sequin Hemmed Jeans (200 KC)
• Stay Warm Sweater (250 KC)

Goodness, it's expensive for a Webkinz to stay warm in style. 

Three new Challenges have been added. 
 
 They are the Jungle Safari Challenge, CampKinz Counselor in Training Challenge, and CampKinz Counselor. 

Rest of Winter 2012 Clothing Line Revealed at Webkinz Newz

Earmuffs.
That is all.

More specifically, Blue Earmuffs. The other articles of clothing in this picture are Embellished Foldover Boot, Stay Warm Sweater, Sequin Hemmed Jeans, Lime Bubble Coat, Polar Fleece Coat, Mock Neck Sweater, Flannel Cuff Khakis and Fuzzy Winter Hat.

Wednesday Updates 04/01/12

There is also a Super School Day at the Kinzville Academy. During these Super School Days, every class a pet passes will count for 2 days of classes instead of 1.

After a short break, the first Wednesday updates of the year have arrived, and they bring many new and exciting additions to Webkinz World!

Four new Challenges have been added.
These Challenges are: 

• Journey to Treasure Island Challenge

This Challenge follows the theme of a pirate's adventures on the high seas in search of the legendary Treasure Island. This Challenge will be unlocked to those who have completed the golf-themed Webkinz Open Challenge. It has 4 sets of tasks to complete instead of the usual 3, so be prepared!

•    CampKinz Cookout Challenge

This Challenge is a fun trip through the forests to a CampKinz Cookout! This Challenge also has 4 sets of tasks, and will be unlocked to anyone who has already completed the Key to Kinzville.This is a Challenge that involves asking friends for assistance, much like the Christmas challenge in December.

• Goober's Assistant Challenge

This fun little Challenge features our good scientist Goober. You'll need to help him out by playing some games and collecting some items. Hope you're good at Goober's Lab! This Challenge has only 2 sets of tasks, and will be unlocked after the Meet Mr. Moo Challenge is complete.

• Egyptian Expedition Challenge

This Challenge has 3 parts, and is Deluxe Only. Players will get to prepare for a trip through Egypt, exploring the sands and finding ancient artifacts. It will be unlocked to Deluxe members who complete the All Star Astronomer Challenge.


The Winter Line has been unveiled at the KinzStyle Outlet!
This line consists of warm coats and sweaters, three pairs of boots, and even a hat and a dress. Save your coupons--the prices have raised considerably in comparison to the fall line. The items that make up this line are:

•  Argyle Sweater--230 KC (not to be confused with the grey, green, purple, and orange sweater of the same name, which costs 55 KC and has been around for awhile!)
•  Checkered Fleece Jacket--325 KC
•  High Top Sneakers--100 KC
• Cozy Sweater and Scarf--210 KC (yay! Scarves for our Webbies!)
• Lace Up Boots--150 KC
• Pink Beanie Cap--185 KC
• Puffy Crested Jacket--345 KC
• Rhinestone Buckle Boots--175 KC
• Slinky Pink Sweater--310 KC
• Tunic Tutu--235 KC (this is a dress, with a pink skirt, and a black and white striped top with some design you can hardly see on the front. If you like the Lightweight Striped Top and Ruffled Skirt, then don't buy the two, just buy this dress--it's cheaper and looks almost identical.)

The Winter Room and Winter House Party Packs are for sale at the W-Shop!
With these Party Packs, one can set up a wintery party at either their house (750 KC) or at the Clubhouse (1,000 KC). 

Also, don't miss the Polka Dot Welcome Mat, sold for 200 KC at the W-Shop. This is a piece of furniture that's sold to accompany the eStore Polka Dot Theme, but it's also very easy to use with any other theme. Though you should know that it's not really good value for 200 KC, as it barely takes up a corner of a single tile, and in-room, looks more like a bunch of circles somebody spilled while crafting than anything else.

Wednesday Updates 7/12/11

There is a new feature in Webkinz World: The Message Center.

Your dock will now look somewhat like this. You still have your money; I just edited mine out.

 As part of today's updates, Ganz has moved the KinzPost Mailbox and KinzChat phone to beside the Actions window, and added a new feature, the Message Center.

The Message Center is required for the most recent Challenge, the Snow Day Challenge, which will stick around until January 4, 2012.

One of the requirements for this challenge is to ask your friends for 10 cups of Candy Cane Cocoa. (or buy them at 500 eStore points apiece.) And no, you cannot ask Webkinz World hosts to help you. It does not cost anyone anything to send/receive the Cocoa. With the Message Center, you will be alerted when a friend asks you for some Candy Cane Cocoa. The Message Center will also tell you when you have a new friend request. 

Along with the Message Center is the Friend Finder. The Friend Finder will show you a list of Webkinz World players. The information displayed is their avatar, which is their current pet, a link to their My Page, the first 3 characters of their username, the first three characters of their pet's name, and the most recent day they've logged in, along with a button that, when clicked, sends a friend request to that person. You may only send 8 Friend Requests per day through the Friend Finder.

Below this list is a button that will add you to the Friend Finder list. You can add yourself, or just continue on. There are no little KinzCash bonuses or the like that will be awarded just for being on/using the Friend Finder list.

The Friend Finder is intended for use for Webkinz World players who don't have many active friends, or any friends at all, in their lists, and would like some help with Challenges, however anybody can use it.

I think the Message Center/Friend Finder are very useful. The Message Center isn't distracting, plus it makes KinzPost messages more visible, and the layout is quite nice. The Friend Finder is a very handy feature for those who need help with Challenges, yet don't want to go to the Clubhouse, or can't use KinzChat+, plus it gives no more information about you than what would be given anywhere else in Webkinz World.  I approve of these new features!

 The Map of Kinzville is decked out for the holidays.

And in a very pretty fashion, too.

 

There's a Super School Day today, too.

Christmas items have been added to the KinzStyle Outlet.

These items are:

Santakinz Helper Hat 125 KC

Santakinz Helper Pants 210 KC

Santakinz Helper Shirt 250 KC

Santakinz Helper Shoes 150 KC

Santakinz Helperette Hat 125 KC

Santakinz Helperette Skirt 210 KC

Santakinz Helperette Shirt 250 KC

Santakinz Helperette Shoes 150 KC

Be sure to pick up these items before Christmas!

And now for some sneak-peeks of more Webkinz pets!

 This is the Dreamy Sheep, which comes with a Daydreamer's Window and a Midnight Snack. Are those coffee beans? Apparently this pet is supposed to come to stores in Spring. I'd love to see the plush, I bet it's the fuzziest thing ever, but the PSI is rather...plain. I bet it shows a vibrantly colored scene when clicked on, though. 

Now THAT is unique. This is the Sleepy Woodland Dragon, a virtual-only pet coming soon. Its PSI is a Cedar Toy Trunk, and its PSF is Crunchy Bark Bites. It's gonna look awesome in-game, just you wait. 

And this is another virtual-only pet all cow lovers should enjoy, the Polka Dot Cow. It comes with Crunchy Ship Cookies (that's the worst pun on chocolate chip I've ever heard) and a Polka Dot Piano, which is quite a pretty piece! I like, I like.

Wednesday Updates: October 26, 2011

Webkinz Newz has released the image for the Fabled Goose.

As in, Mother Goose. Note the music note shaped watermelon seeds.

 This new pet is a contest-prize-only pet, exclusive to the Parent Club, which is hosting four contests for a chance to win this pet. The Fabled Goose comes with a Story Time Throne and some Sing Along Snacks for dinner. You must be 18 or older to participate in these contests.
This pet is the third contest-prize-only pet, the first two being the Silk Sparrow and the Sparkling Pegasus, and the Fabled Goose is so far the only pet of its kind to be Parent Club exclusive.


Five new recipes have been added to the Clothing Machine.
These recipes are the Super Funky Hoodie, the Rockin' Fringe Vest, the Dazzling Neon Tutu, the Racecar Driver Outfit, and the Pretty Plaid Gown.  The images for the Racecar Driver Outfit and the Pretty Plaid Gown are currently nowhere to be found, but we can bring you the images of the first three outfits.

I am quite fond of that tutu. I bet it will match wonderfully with the Hoodie!

There is a new theme at the W-Shop. 
This theme is the "Aquatic Expedition" theme, and can only be put in underwater rooms. (if you don't have an underwater room, you need to adopt a fish or other aquatic animal to be able to buy one.)

 What's really neat about this theme is that the pieces of it glow. So far, the only pieces of the theme that can be bought are:

•  Aquatic Living Room Rug--320 KC
• Deep Sea Divider--300 KC
• Deep Sea TV--1,100 KC
• Tentacle Table--750 KC
•  Aquatic Expedition Wallpaper--250 KC
• Deep Sea Dining Chair--115 KC
• Luminous Lamp--225 KC

The Aquatic Expedition theme is, so far, the third underwater-only theme, the first two being the Underwater Room and the Royal Undersea theme.   

More updates!

The glitch involving the Walrus Wall Panel has been fixed...
But instead of the Wall Panel, the "The Coolest Thing is Everything" Album Cover is awarded instead.

Kinzville is now Halloween themed!

All Spring 2011 KinzStyle Outlet items are now retired.
We'll have to wait a little while to see if they're retired forever, or just moved to the Curio Shop. The retired items are:
Crop Top Long Tee Combo
Destroyed Capri Shorts
Draw String Cargos
Graphic Knit Dress
Heart Print Crew Neck
Jeweled Military Shirt
Sash Belt Pants
Tri Strap Gladiator Sandals
Two Pocket Cuff Shirt
Violet Hangaround Pants
V-Neck Cardigan


The Summer 2011 KinzStyle Outlet items will be retired next.



  The Week of Pink Click-To-Win is running again.
As you may know, the Week of Pink Click-To-Win at Webkinz Newz was cancelled due to some technical difficulties. Now these issues are resolved, and Molly will be flying at Webkinz Newz from October 12 to October 19, 2011. She will not be flying on the 15th. 

Fall Clothing Appears in the KinzStyle Outlet

PJ Collie has added several new pieces of Fall fashions to the KinzStyle Outlet!

The clothes are really cool, and contain some much-needed new boy's clothing, belts, and skirts.
Not to mention the very reasonable prices! These are the lowest prices for new clothing that I've seen in a while, with the cheapest item, the Skinny Studded Belt, costing 30 KinzCash, and the most expensive item, the Kinzville Academy Varsity Jacket, costing 250 KinzCash.


Here are the items and their prices:

 Blue and Green Kilt: 105 KinzCash
The pattern of this kilt will brighten up any fall morning!
