I didn't know what was in the curio shop at 3. I just knew something was going to be there. We already have the tv. Thank you for sending it Tina. I really appreciate you helping us out. Since we already had one I sent it back to you.

Okay for now I plonked it down in the ancient civilization room...it looks good in there.....along with the plasma tv. Temporary furnishings until/if I get more of the AC themed stuff.
Bummer.....Well I'm always in dark blue, if it's full I go to teal! If you are still there I can sign back in the dark blue zone and see if it works again?
Wow Tina, you really are on a mission. Well I sent myself something today from P1. If you send it to Avongirl I can log in there real quick....Athena is in bed by now so I know she isn't playing.
Sooooooooooo, someone just bought a 6 pack of cat lil kinz!
Was $38.90 including shipping. That works out to $6 something each, not too shabby. And they ship next day when your order is all webkinz stuff, so I should have them soon.....
More money! Easy money. And another superbed! I really want one of the 2 new ones....maybe the Bed or roses....or maybe the Monster under the Bed.....
This addiction is all Cindy's fault! Although 2 of the lil kinz will be saved for Athena's Easter basket....the lil kinz lion since I have it already....and another one.
I better get one soon before my account is expired. I was in the mall yesterday and was going to buy one and I wanted to get some of the cards but the store I bought the cards at last time was not there. They must have closed. I didn't even know it. I think Hallmark might have them though. I didn't make it there yesterday. I really wanted to try the cards out! I will probably just end up ordering a webkinz.
I think we're about done with the Webkinz. With all of the glitches and the newest restrictions on the curio shop it isn't so user friendly now. Brennan used to get so excited when we knew something rare was going to be in the next day. Especially if it was something I could pick up while he was at school. He would bust in the door, tell me he loves me and then say, 'Did you get it? Did you get it? Let me see!' He was so excited about the ancient civilizations theme. We were looking at the stuff this weekend and he said how bad he wanted the wading pool. But then he said, 'I'll never get it now, though.' Atleast the last 10 pets we've bought we have only gotten 1000kc for the adoption gift. He's frustrated with it and I am too now. I'm mostly frustrated for the amount of money we have spent on the pets and other misc stuff and Ganz seems to make it harder and harder for their customers. It's almost like Ganz has convinced themselves that all of these virtual items are real and cost real money. They are getting really stingy with things. They need to understand how hard it is getting for children to stay occupied with it.

I haven't been in it enough Rachel to see all of the changes but I can understand your frustration. I know that Brennan has a lot of the Webkinz and it is frustrating when you put money into something like that and it doesn't work right or things change. Sorry to hear that Brennan isn't having as much fun with it anymore.
I think he'd be much happier with it even if they changed up the adoption gifts. He gets so excited when he buys a new pet. He is literally taking the tags off of it while he's walking in the door so he can enter it. Then we open that box and it's just the money. He wants the exclusive items, even if it's something he already has. The money doesn't do us much good. With all of the pets we buy, our kc always stays at a good level.
I feel like at this point they are more concerned with churning out new pets and they aren't so concerned with the website aspect of it. Luckily Brennan loves the actual pets more than the website. He still keeps all 51 of them in his bed and takes them everywhere.

We have been suckered into more than just the pets. We have a bunch of charms, figurines, tons of trading cards and the binders and clothes. I would say we have atleast $700-$800 invested in it all. Heck for that we could have gotten the Playstation 3 and good start at a game library.

Yeah you definitely could have! But if Brennan really enjoyed it than I can see where that much can be sent. I have a lot of money into different things for Tristen because he really likes them so I keep adding to his collection. Like his John Deere tractors....we have at least $600 - $700 worth of those!! More than that I guess because we have a big remote control one that was $150. Hopefully they will change some things in WW so that Brennan can enjoy it again.
It will be warm soon anyway so he won't pay any attention to it at all. Once it gets above freezing outside he won't step foot inside until it gets cold again.

I am still very happy with the site. I am sorry that you are disillusioned, Rachel. On the curio shop rares, the very first time you go in (or go in on a new account), Arte does say that he gets rares in from time to time but you are only allowed to buy one. It has always been there. They just began enforcing it. Brennan may be just outgrowing the site. It is not growing as fast as he is. And that is all normal. He might just need something older and faster moving to occupy him next winter. I, on the other hand, am getting older and slower. I like the pace that Ganz is going when adding new themes and superbeds and such. Loz, the hockey flooring MAY be in the C-shop at 9 pm tonight.

I still love it for the stress relief. Nothing calms my nerves like a few games in the arcade or tournament arena. I really like the new Goober's game in the TA. Brennan is just all about what he goodies he gets. If he stops getting the goodies he loses interest.

And I understand that. The goodies are fun too. I find the different glitches mildly annoying. But it doesn't ruin my whole day. I do love the de-stress factor more than ever now.

I've gotten into Webkinz more the past few months than I think I ever have! When I get the 6 new ones I'll be up to 29 Webkinz.....(never would've thought that).
I enjoy it, but I can see where to a child it would not be as much fun after a while.
Hey Tina, I have the flooring already. I think you sent me that a few days back. Thanks for thinking of me though.
