webkinz fun onn the computer!
What a great idea. Buy Webkinzs animals and the kids love to go on their site with a code that is on the animal. They can also interact on the site with their actual friends. Hours of healthy computer fun and they can learn a lot. Word games, numbers, checkers, etc. The toy is adorable although they are a little pricy. It's the toy animal of 2008. This one is in high demand!

so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got the Webkinz Yellow Lab with my birthday money. It is very durable, fun and you can adopt it on an educational website. it comes with a tag that has a code in it that you put in on the site to adopt your virtual pet. after that you can buy rooms for your pet and earn money that you can spend on your pet. I named mine Jonathan. this is a fun and educational toy that I reccomend to all kids.

Webkinz are a great value.
We've purchased other products(Bebratz, munchiz, and Barbie)with on-line websites and have disappointed. Those sites can be slow, difficult to navigate, or limited in their content. The webkinz site is fun and educational for my 10 year old girl. She says she has learned more about science playing the quizzy corner.

Her webkinz is very cute and she plays with it off-line more than her other stuffed animals. Overall a great value and we will probably buy more webkinz.

The webkinz arrived very quickly.

WebKinz website probably overloaded
There are problems with the WebKinz website which they are aware of and are working to fix. I see notices posted almost every day about the technical support problems. My guess is there were lots of kids with new toys and time off school.

People with dial-ups probably will have more of a problem.

They said on the site that they would compensate in WebKinz dollars, which is a kind of currency only used for virtual objetcts. Users will get this automatically.

It is now Jan. 14 and I have have had very few problems over the last few days, so I am seeing improvement. I had trouble logging in and locking up.

Technical problems and customer service nightmare!
My kiddos love Webkins and my older daughter has been able to play and add her new pets without any problems, but my youngest daughter has had nothing but problems. She couldn't log in, then when she finally was able to she got a message saying that the secret code of her brand new webkin had already been used, then the next time the new pet did show up but she hadn't been able to complete the adoption, and now she can't get into "my room" at all. This has happened with all 3 of her new Webkinz. I have followed the instructions and sent polite and thorough explanations through the poorly designed customer service links provided on the website and so far have only received canned responses saying that someone will get back to me in 1-3 days. My emails were sent 4 days ago. Great idea, great product, but these problems and the unprecedented poor level of customer service give this toy a poor review. I hope they are able to fix their problems and if the can't, I hope someone comes along and does it better.
