A couple of trophies and some Thoughts from the Treetop: May 2, 2017

Sometimes the real world keeps me busy and I get behind on my Webkinz blogging. 🙂  I’m having an easy day today, just enjoying the beautiful weather and watching the birds at the feeders on my back deck.

I’ve got some fun news and some random thoughts to share, so I figured I’d do a Thoughts from the Treetop post and just collect it all in one place.

First I want to share my exciting news (well, it’s exciting to me, anyway) – I finally got a Pet Party Parade trophy! 🙂 I got the trophy a few days ago on my TreeHuggerJess account, and it’s really cute.

When you complete all 30 levels of the game, you’ll see this message:

Then because it was my first time winning the whole game and earning a trophy, I got this message:

Last, here’s a look at the trophy in my Trophy Room:

Have you won the Pet Party Parade trophy yet? How many levels have you been able to beat so far? Do you have any tips for winning Pet Party Parade?

It’s the beginning of a new month, and that means a new Deluxe Monthly Challenge. In order to meet this month’s challenge, you’ve got to earn 150 kinzcash playing Color Storm.

I’ve actually got some tips for playing Color Storm. To read the tips, click here for the blog post I wrote during the Color Storm Trophy Challenge.

Speaking of trophies, I finally won the Candy Bash 2 trophy – and I won it on both of my accounts!

The Candy Bash 2 trophy looks like a chili pepper:

Here it is in my trophy room:

(And there’s my Grumpy Cat giving us a photo bomb!)

The Candy Bash 2 trophy is actually pretty easy to win once you know the secret/trick to unlocking it. The trophy is awarded randomly, BUT the only way you can have a chance of winning the trophy is by first getting “4 in a row” while you’re collecting the falling candy.

That means “catching” four of the same type of candies/sweets in a row, like this:

Once you’ve collected four in a row, keep playing and wait for the cat (named Gato Loco) to float by across the top of the screen. If Gato Loco is holding a trophy, hit him with a bean – the trophy will fall, and if you catch the trophy before it hits the ground, then congrats! You now have the Candy Bash 2 Trophy! When you catch the trophy, you’ll hear Poncho say “Arrrrrribe!”

The random trophy counter will reset after each appearance by Gato Loco. So if you see the cat but don’t get the trophy, you need to do another four in a row in order to have another chance at the trophy.

Have you won the Candy Bash 2 Trophy yet?

I’ve adopted a couple of pets recently. One of them was the Baby Bunny. The Baby Bunny was a special pet in the month of April because Baby Bunny owners got a extra activity each day. (Like the Reindeer Games in December and the Lovely Fox bonus activities in February.)

I named my Baby Bunny “Gidget,” and I think she’s a cutie:

Here’s Gidget wearing the Farmer’s Wife dress you can sometimes find at the Ganz eStore. (The clothing selection changes frequently.)

If you want your own Baby Bunny, the plush is still available at the Ganz eStore.

The Flower Collection Event just kicked off – if you want some tips on collection event success, click here for a blot post with advice on how to collect flowers quickly.

I’ll wrap up my Thoughts from the Treetop with a picture of the Super Token I recently won – this Super Token was worth three wish tokens!

Have you ever had a Super Token? What did you win? (Deluxe Members get to spin the Wheel of Wishes every day!)

Well, I guess that’s all for now. Thanks for reading and for visiting my blog. I hope you have a wonderful day and a fantastic week!

 

Wish Factory Prizes: Letters R and S

Hello my Webkinz friends! I’m back with a look at a couple more prizes in the Wish Factory. These are the more expensive items – not the ones you get when you adopt a new pet and the ones that max out at 15 tokens.

We’ve been working out way through the alphabet, and now we’re up to the Letter R (there’s no items starting with P or Q). The Letter R brings us to Raziel’s Slide, which costs 300 tokens.

Raziel is a dragon that lives in the caves underneath Adventure Park. You encounter Raziel when completing certain Adventure Park quests.

Raziel’s Slide was an item you could win during a mega collection event way back in 2013. It’s an interactive item – your pet can slide down it:

Here is another picture of Raziel’s slide so you can see its size in relation to other slides:

Let’s move along to Letter S. There’s only one item beginning with Letter S, and that’s the Sport Soaker Tub:

The Sport Soaker Tub costs 100 tokens. It was a prize you could earn during a collection event called “I Love My Webkinz.” This collection event featured other items you can use to keep your pet happy and healthy, such as a treadmill and a blender. These items were helping to lead the way for the transition into “Webkinz X,” which is the version you’re now playing (family scores, filling hearts, etc).

As you probably guessed, you can use the Sport Soaker Tub to give your pet a bath:

The Water Treadmill, which I’ll talk about in the future, was also part of the heart collection event. Both items fit very well with a fitness theme and would look great in a gym-themed room.

That’s all for Letters R and S. Are you planning to save up for Raziel’s Slide or the Sport Soaker Tub? Let me know in the comments! 🙂

Want to spin the Wheel of Wishes every day? It’s one of the perks of a Deluxe Membership! Deluxe Memberships are available exclusively at the Ganz eStore.

All of the outfits featured in the post are available again this  year so you can dress up your pet for this special occasion!

New Prizes in the Wish Factory: Letter B

Not long ago, Ganz made a pretty big change to the Wish Factory. Instead of just exclusive items, like the Gumball Lounger or Airplane Window, the Wish Factory now offers retired items from past challenges and events.

For example, there’s the Campkinz Pool, which was part of a Marshmallow Collection event in 2013. There’s also the Flowing Ribbons Four Post Bed and the Moolah Mountain Window, which were prizes that could be won by playing Mazin’ Hamsters, a section of Webkinz World that is no longer available.

Another big difference you’ll notice with these recently added items is the cost. Rather than 10 to 15 tokens, these items cost anywhere from 70 to 300 tokens. Even if you’re a Deluxe Member, and you get extra opportunities to win Wish Tokens, it’s still going to take quite a long while before you can save up 300 tokens. You’ll definitely want to be sure that the item is worth all those tokens before you use the Wish Machine.

Thinking about all of this gave me an idea. I’ve been playing Webkinz since 2007, and between my two accounts, I have almost every one of the retired items that have been added to the Wish Factory. I decided to give you a closer look at all of these items to help you make your choice once you’ve saved up all those tokens.

By my count there are 19 of these retired exclusives in the Wish Factory. Going through all 19 right here and right now would be a really, really long blog post! 🙂 Instead, I’m going to break up the project into several shorter posts. The Wish Factory lists the items in alphabetical order, so that’s what I’m going to do, too.

None of the new prizes start with “A” so we’ll begin with “B.”

First is the Blue Fall Season Window for 100 tokens.

I do have at least one Blue Fall Season Windows. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find it in either of my accounts, so I don’t have a picture for you.

Next is the Blue Flowery Greenhouse for 200 tokens.

Here’s an up close look at the greenhouse:

And here’s my greenhouse in a spring garden:

The Blue Flowery Greenhouse contains storage space:

The Blue Flowery Greenhouse might look familiar to you. That could be because there is also a Yellow Flowery Greenhouse and a Purple Flowery Greenhouse. Besides the difference in colors, the three items are exactly the same.

That’s all for the letter “B.” I’ll be back soon with the letter “C” and the two Campkinz prizes!

What do you think about the new prizes in the Wish Factory? Are you saving up your Wish Tokens for a retired prize?
