Ganz recently announced the stopping of production of several pets. The Webkinz Gorilla, the Lil’Kinz Gorilla, and the Lil’Kinz Unicorn are now officially RETIRED! When a pet is retired, it will no longer be produced, leading to decreasing supply and an increase in demand, especially with collectors. This increase in demand usually leads to an increase in price. So if you’re looking to add these pets to your family, do so now while the prices are still reasonable!

WW News Advice Column, written by Plumpy the Webkinz Hippo, has provided some interesting answers to Christmas related questions.
Q: If a Christmas tree is bought now, can it be kept all year or does it disappear after Christmas?
A: If you buy a Christmas tree or any other Christmas-related items at the Kinz Shop, they are your forever and do not disappear after the Christmas holiday.
Q: How long will the snow stay in my yard? Can I still garden?
A: The snow will remain on the ground until the arrival of Spring in WW. That means the snow will be around for a month or two until the weather (in real life that is) gets warmer. The good news is that you can still garden — don’t worry, the plants are genetically engineered to withstand the extremely cold temperatures 
Q: How do I get a present from SantaKinz?
A: To get a present from SantaKinz, just logon to WW anytime on Christmas Day!
