Webkinz are a Great Social Activity
Webkinz are so unbelievably popular these days - almost everyone has one! Tweens especially love to collect and trade Webkinz with their friends - it's an extremely popular social activity that everyone enjoys.
If you're a parent with a kid between 6 and 12, most likely you're aware of the Webkinz phenomenon. If you're not a parent you may be asking what is Webkinz and why is it so popular with our tweeners?
The real hook with Webkinz is the online component. Kids love that when they buy a new jean jacket, warm up suit or other accessory for their real life Webkinz, it comes with a virtual code. This virtual code unlocks the item online and allows you to add this item to what you already have. Virtual codes are where the real fun is as kids love to get new codes and outfit their Webkinz online - it's all the rage!
Webkinz are very animal centric, for example you can find a raccoon, reindeer, bulldog and many other cute plush animal toys. Many collectors love Webkinz and there are many rare and hard to find toys that get "retired" by Ganz.
When a Webkinz gets retired it is very hard to find and the price gets driven up. Often you can only find retired Webkinz on eBay or another auction site and they may sell for over $200! That's a lot considering you can find a new Webkinz for under $10 if you know where to look.
