I got a blue google! A store near me was having a sale and webkinz were $9. I might go back and get another one

Anyways, I named her Libby Lou She’s really cute, and now I have all the googles! My original white one, Gabby, the lil googles Marshmallow, pink googles Suzy Zu, and now blue googles Libby Lou!

Here she is with my chimp I didn’t show pictures of last time

I’ve wanted this guy for a while, so I finally broke down and got him. I named him Banana Bommerang, because I couldn’t choose which name I liked best, and just because I can. I don’t have any pictures right now, sorry.

Some of the new webkinz pets are kinda cute.

I looked back at my posts from a year ago, to when my blog first started, and wow has it changed! I was just getting into computers when I started this blog… I really had no idea what I was doing! I see how I’ve grown up over the past few years, and how my interests in webkinz have changed.  I see how webkinz/Ganz has changed. The webkinz used to be cute, and a nice size release of 2 or 3 plushes. Now there’s about 10 webkinz every month (most of them aren’t that cute, like the cerry blossom bird, etc.) the EStore, all these new products, and I can observe, just from my posts, how Ganz has went downhill because all they care about now is the money.

I miss the old days where webkinz was just a nice environment. When there was oodles of bloggers that had the same interest as I did.

I just needed to vent,

I was on vacation and I got the webkinz signature raccoon. They’re expensive, but the lady at the store saw me looking at them, and said the boss wanted to get rid of all of the webkinz (not a huge money maker any more, costing the store more money to keep them in stock and they’re not selling) so she gave me 25% off. Plus, he had some sticky stuff on his tail which was another reason I got a discount.

 I named him Rascal. I like the signature pets. They’re very soft, and bigger than normal webkinz.

This is my first new webkinz since Valentine’s day :O

I want to get the signature chimpanzee and the webkinz eagle next. For the chimpanzee I was name it Banana or Boomerang, or both. The eagle would be Liberty Jane.

Here’s a few pictures of his bio, certificate picture, and comparison of my regular raccoon Bandit and my signature raccoon Rascal.

-moon and rascal (he’s at the computer with me, I just got done registering him)

I really want to like my webkinz again, but I can’t. Sometimes I wish I only had 10, like I did in the early days. I really liked webkinz for a while, but when I like something I get excessive and have to have everything. LIke I was into American Girl dolls for a while, and I have 21  which is insave. With my webkinz, I have over a hundred, that’s a lot of money spent on them. And now they’re all just stuffed in garbage bags in my closet.

I’m trying to like them again, but I just can’t. I guess it’s because I was so into them for a while, that they just lost their appeal. I think it’s also Ganz’s fault. They’ve made webkinz into a huge money maker, they don’t even care anymore, they just want more money. Not a lot of people like webkinz anymore. Lots of stores around me have stopped carrying them alltogether.

The webkinz blogosphere has shriveled up and died. No one except for gymboutiques, atmomicolicious/kinzblog, and webkinzinsider eve are left.

Everyone else like me, elm, rose, etc. have stopped blogging and lost interest.

I’m close to 100,000 hits, though.

Great new items are out!

Genie Lamp POTM

NEW EXCLUSIVES – Gas Pump, Moon Rover, School House Desk,
Seaside Palace Sandcastle, Time Warp Clock

RETIRED EXCLUSIVES – Blue Wagon Racer, Large Pane Window, Rainbow Jelly Cactus, So-Mod Moped Scooter, Toadstool Table

New Estore pet, the Ruby Retriever

So, how does everyone like the new exclusives! I like them, especially the moon rover! That would go perfect in my space themed room.

Well, all my pets are still on the low health/hunger/happiness. I was looking at my pets, and noticed that I haven’t played with most of a lot of them since July ‘08!!! I mean, WOW! That’s almost a year. I also looked at the adoption dates. I used to get a webkinz almost every week. I haven’t gotten a new one for months now.

So, how’s everyone? It was really hot today, so I went to the beach. It was a lot of fun! Then it started storming though, so we had to go home.

Updates:

I read everyone’s comments, and I agree with almost all of them! Deep down, I still LOVE LOVE LOVE my webkinz, so I’m keeping this blog PARTIALLY about webkinz. I’ll post about webkinz, but also a bunch of other random topics too Instead of posting new things in webkinz, I’ll give my opinion on the new things, and the readers can too!

I’ll be doing other things too, like the “my life” suggestion. Basically anythings goes now (just be appropriate)! So to start it off, I went to go to see Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian! It was a great movie! I love the little Einstein bobble heads! (That’s the way, uh huh uh huh I like it!) I would recommend going to see it, or renting/buying it once it comes out on DVD.

I also got my hair cut. I really like it now (it’s a lot shorter, but not too short). About shoulder length.

Now for the webkinz part:

The Calico Cat is the new Signature Pet for August. What do you think of it?

Here’s some more August pets:

The “silver soft cat” Does this look like the gray cat to you?!?!?

Here’s a lizard. I like the virtual image, but not the plush.

I was at a book store the other day and they had webkinz, and they had the signature chimpanzee (I really want this little guy) and it was $25! Still expensive, but it’s less than the $40 they were when I first saw them.

July pets!!! Which is your favorite? I like the fox and raccoon

Webkinz “Domestic Cat” spotted at the clubhouse! It’s pretty cute, but I think ganz is running out of ideas for pets.

Isn’t this little guy cute? It’s the estore wooly mammoth! If they made this in plush I would definitely get it!

I hope you like the new version of the blog (:

Dear readers,

I’m sorry my blog is horrible now. It has really gotten bad over the past few months. I’m really turned off and disgusted at how commercial webkinz has gotten. All it is now is a way to make money. All this estore junk is annoying. $12 for an online code?!?!? Seriously? Then, all my webkinz have like 20 on their health, hunger, and happiness bars because of a glitch. When I tried to get them to fix it, the customer service person basically told me to deal with it or adopt more pets and it will be fixed! Not a lot of the stores around me carry webkinz anymore. I talked to this one lady for a while and she said that sales are way down, and it was just a fad. The new webkinz they’re making are kind of ugly in my opinion, and not that original. A “tawny pup” and a “mocha pup” that basically look like the brown dog and golden retriever. They’re run out of decent ideas. I mean, reall, a cherry blossom bird? I’m happy with the webkinz I have now. I’ve gotten into shopping online and on ebay for them. I’ve lost some of my interest. I still like them, but I’m not as crazy about them as I was. The blog has really gotten bad. I guess I just haven’t really been ambitious enough to keep it up. I still haven’t gotten 100,000 views. If you look at my blog stats, I’m basically where I started right now. In my first month blogging I made as many hits as I have this month.

I’m sorry. I don’t know if I will continue updating or not. Our whole webkinz “blogosphere” has really gone to pot as well. None of the originals are here anymore. Rose kind of dropped of, elm isn’t here, atomicolicious used to get a thousand comments every post, now they’re barely hitting 10.

It’s been fun.
