Webkinz

Wow, to be honest, I never heard of em.
I see from a google search that they are stuff animals, no?
Beanie Babbies making the come-back eh?
Cool beanzz

I have done brief research on the product. It is similar to stuffed animal type of toys. However the webkinz come with a unique serial number, which can be registered online, thus mamking it a virtual pet, unique to the owner. Site also give's the owner multiple options to upgrade, and do all sorts of fun stuff with the webkin.

Anyone with greater knowledge of the product that would like to add a comment or enlighten to the items full potential is encouraged to do so..

Regards!!

The best way to find out about Webkinz is to buy one and try it for yourself. I have has one since last August.They are phenomenal. But the best way to research them is to play with them online. I have never found a better toy. They are a wonderful way of introducing kids to the web, where they can chat to other Webkinz owners if they choose to. But they can only use pre-selected sentences, so that no personal information can be exchanged. Alternatively they can go to the Club House to chat. But they need their parents consent to do so, and then the Webkinz dictionary is limited, so that threatening words, numerics or anything that could potentially put your child at risk, cannot be used.

Ganz is the manufacturer, but they will not sell to you unless you have a regular retail store-front location ("brick & mortar").

Thanks for the input loopz57. You have given me enthusiasm to purchase one for myself and test it out.

Enkorestuff you are correct Ganz will not sell unless you have a resale license. It is incredible how some people are able to sell them at below MSRP. I am confident it is all legit otherwise the ebay Vero program will put a stop to it. I wanna get on this train before this phaze goes away, or maybe it may not~ who knows.

Guess I should purchase one myself. Anyone have an idea which is the best start up or test unit to begin with??
