Something you don't want to miss: Rock Star Outfit Available Today

The Rock Star Outfit is the source of those "priceless" Rock Star Sunglasses, most commonly known as "shuts". If you find yourself being driven batty in search of those glasses which are apparently worth very very much then today (September 16) only, go onto WKN and wait for the floating Midnight Monster to appear. (you'll have to search around.) Click on it, enter your account information, and you shall find a Rock Star Outfit, complete with boots, shirt, torn jeans, and shuts, in your Dock.

Some people aren't too thrilled about this--some worked very hard to get the glasses, some are proud of getting them in a Webkinz shirt code (the original way to get the outfit) and have kept them since then, and the general worry is of their worth dropping.

My thoughts on this?

...how does it actually serve as Sunglasses and keep the sun out of your eyes, when there's not lenses, but lines? (additional note: how does one see through them?)
And why isn't it the shirt that's in high demand? That thing's awesome.

Wednesday Updates September 28 2011

The rules for Spree! have changed.

Previously, when a player landed on a space for a shopping bag they already had, their turn was over.

Now, when landing on a shopping bag they already have, the player will be able to roll a special die, allowing them to move forwards or backwards, earn KinzCash, or even get a Shopping Bag they don't have!
 

Awesome!

There is a crucial difference between the KinzStyle Outlet and the KinzStyle Shop.

PJ Collie. A very talkative host.

• Found on the Map to Kinzville, next to the W-Shop
• Can be visited whenever

SHOP

Persephone. The fashionable host for the KinzStyle Shop and SuperModelz.

The Key to Kinzville is even easier to get now. 

Webkinz players who were around when the Key to Kinzville was introduced may remember how ambitious it was. You had to attend the Academy and Employment Office for 3 days, make and spend an incredible amount of KC, go through a whole category of Quizzy's questions...a number of Webkinz users simply gave up. Then Ganz made the game easier, but younger players and those who didn't have the time to work up enough KC were still having trouble. Well, today, Ganz has made the game easier still!


The Today's Activities Page has a new layout. 

Rather than the activities being in their separate tabs, they are all now on a single page. The kind of activity is defined by a sprite to the left of the activity title: a Deluxe symbol for Deluxe-only activities, an Arcade symbol for games-related activities, and so on. The theme has changed to blue rather than yellow. 

The Wacky Zingoz Hot Air Balloon and Giant Zingoz Plushie are now a vehicle and chair, respectively. 

The Balloon is won from the Wacky Zingoz Log-out Carnival, and the Plushie is from the SPREE! game. 
They were supposed to be a vehicle and chair, but their programming glitched and they were decoration only--no longer! Ganz has fixed this.  
  

 

Webkinz Pets And Clothing Sold At The Estore!

Ganz just told everyone that almost all Webkinz will be sold at the eStore even plush ones and so is pet clothing! When you go to a store you see clothing for your plush pets well that is the clothing Ganz is talking about.

The plush version of the Pet of the Month, the Caring Valley pet for the month, and of many classic Webkinz are for sale in Ganz eStore.

Kinz Style for your Webkinz plush! Many of you may have noticed how it can be hard to find Kinz Style for your Webkinz plush in retailers. Well, now you can order some from Ganz eStore!
