I bet I will have at least one item on that page – no matter which page it is! But…there are 570 pages, so maybe you can find a page that stumps me! If you find a page that stumps me, your name goes into a drawing for a FREE mystery pet code!

You can email me once a day with one page number per day. Each day I’ll post an update with the guesses, and I’ll either show you a screenshot of my item OR I’ll say “You stumped me!”

Series 3 and Series 4 Webkinz Trading Cards

I got a few Amazon gift cards for Christmas, so I bought myself a pack of Series 3 Webkinz Trading Cards and a pack of Series 4 Webkinz Trading Cards. Since I’ve talked quite a bit about Series 2, I thought I’d talk about these boxes and the changes that Ganz made when they released Series 3 and 4.

img_1652

One change you’ll notice right away is the addition of a sticker card. In Series 3 and 4, each pack has a card with three or four different stickers on it. There are pets, clothing items, recipe foods and logo stickers, just to name a few. Here’s a look at some of the sticker cards I got the other day:

img_1629

Another difference is that each feature code card only has one code. In Series 1 and 2, each feature code card could come with up to 4 codes. This might seem disappointing at first, and to some extent, it is a downside to Series 3 and 4.

The upside, though, is that the quality of the prizes in Series 3 and 4 is much higher.There aren’t any Wshop items like there are in Series 1 and 2. There also aren’t any recipe foods or kinzcash.

Here are some examples of the kinds of prizes you’ll unlock with the Series 3 and Series 4 Webkinz Trading Cards:

trading-card-condo-fridgecard-collector-cropped-jacket

dex-dangerous-control-chairjerrys-blazertreasures-of-crystal-sea-poster

In fact, in the Series 4 Webkinz Trading Cards, you can even unlock a pair of Nafaria’s purple slippers! These are the “slips” that so many Webkinz players are trying to trade for!

nafarias-purple-slippers

A third difference that you’ll notice is that Series 3 and 4 each offer the chance of winning a very special and rare virtual pet. With Series 3 it is the Magical Retriever. With Series 4 it’s the Mystical Panda. I haven’t ever won either of these pets, but here’s a picture I found of what they look like:

magical-retriever-webkinzmystical-panda

So those are a few of the differences I’ve noticed with Series 3 and Series 4 Webkinz Trading Cards – what do you think about these differences? Do you like 1 and 2 better or 3 and 4? Let me know in the comments for a Trading Card prize via Kinzpost!

Webkinz Trading Cards Series 2: Virtual Trading Cards

A while back I wrote a post about the Series 2 Webkinz Trading Cards that you can sometimes find at Ollie’s. (If you don’t have an Ollie’s, you can find all kinds of Webkinz Trading Cards on Amazon.)


I recently got a couple more boxes of the Series 2 Trading Cards, and it inspired me to blog about the “virtual trading cards” that used to go along with the real world trading cards.

img_1635

Let me give you a quick overview in case you’re not familiar with Webkinz Trading Cards. There are four series, which started, of course, with Series 1 and 2. When you open a pack of Series 1 or 2 Trading Cards, you’ll find one or more of three different types of cards:

  1. Feature code card – This card has a unique code that you can enter into the code shop for a prize.
  2. Trading cards – These are what make up most of the pack and include pictures and descriptions of games, characters, pets, recipe foods and more
  3. Mystery Pet card – These are rare, usually only one per an entire box; this is a code to enter into the Adoption Centre to receive a pet. You won’t know what kind until after you’ve entered the code.

img_1637

Okay, so now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s talk about virtual cards. When Series 1 and Series 2 came out, both versions also included a special code for a pack of “virtual trading cards” on each feature code card.

The code for the virtual trading cards is on the very bottom of the feature code card:

img_1636

You drag and drop the pack in your pet’s room, and several cards shake out.

ezgif-com-video-to-gif12

Then, you can go to the Wshop and buy a binder that allows you to see the virtual cards you’ve collected. (Look under “Fun Stuff” and then “Books” to find the Series 1 Binder and Series 2 Binder for 100 kinzcash).

series-2-binder

Honestly, just looking at the cards in the binders isn’t too exciting to me, but there IS something about the virtual cards that I think is really cool. Once you collect certain cards, you unlock neat prizes that you can’t get anywhere else…you can even unlock a trophy!

series-2-collector-trophy

There are four sets in total to unlock, each with its own special prize:

locked-prizes

When you collect all of the Webkinz Deck Cards, you get the Series 2 Collector Trophy:

series-2-ct-2

When you collect all of the Challenge Cards, you get the Space Explorer Shuttle, which is interactive – your pet can ride in it!

space-explorer-shuttle

ezgif-com-video-to-gif13

When you collect all of the W Tales Snapshots, you get the W Tales Sofa (one of my favorites!):

w-tales-sofa

w-tales-sofa-2

When you collect all of the At Paw Level cards, you get the “At Paw Level Display Screen,” which is very unique:

at-paw-level

at-paw-level-1

Then, when you’ve completed all four sets, you win the Grand Prize, a Collector’s Paradise Waterfall:

Of all the virtual trading card prizes, by far my favorite is the trophy…I love collecting trophies! I just get so excited when I see my Trophy Room filling up!

Here’s a look at the Series 2 Collector Trophy up close:

So what do you think about Webkinz Trading Cards? Have you ever collected any? Do you have any trading card prizes? Let me know in the comments, and I’ll send you a special trading card prize via kinzpost! (Make sure I know your Webkinz username!)

Vampire Bunny…I’m in love! (Contest!)

*UPDATE* The contest winners have been selected and awarded their Mystery Pet codes. Check back for more contests!

Bunnicula is one of my all time favorite books, so when I saw the Vampire Bunny at the Ganz eStore, I kind of freaked out with happiness!

bunnicula-1

I bought my Vampire Bunny back in September when it was available to Deluxe Members during a presale.

midnight-2

I wanted to name my Vampire Bunny “Bunnicula,” but for some reason the filters said it was a forbidden word..weird! So I decided to name him Midnight instead.

midnight-cert-of-adopt

Because I love Halloween so much, and I’m crazy about my Vampire Bunny, I want to have a little contest – and the winner gets a mystery pet! That’s right! I’ll send you the code for a Mystery Pet that comes in a pack of Webkinz Trading Cards. You won’t know what type of pet it is until you enter the code at the Adoption Center.

mystery-pet

So here’s the contest…below is a list of questions about the book Bunnicula. The first person to email me with the correct answers to all of the questions will get the Mystery Pet!

bunnicula-4

Here are the questions:

  1. In what year was Bunnicula published?
  2. Who’s the author of Bunnicula?
  3. Where was Bunnicula found?
  4. What is the last name of the family that finds and adopts Bunnicula?
  5. What is the name of the cat in the book?
  6. What is the name of the dog in the book?

If you think you’ve got all the right answers, then email me at natbrownnat@gmail.com, and I’ll announce the winner as soon as we have one.

Have fun!

New Series: Mystery Pet “Unboxing” Videos

A couple of weeks ago I was at Five Below, and they had a whole bunch of really cute webkinz – several that I didn’t already have and a few that I’ve never seen before. So, naturally, I had to buy one of each! 🙂 I left the store with seven new Webkinz total.

I wanted to do some adoption videos with these new pets, but I also wanted to do something different and fun and try something new. So I came up with the idea of “Mystery Pets.”

I got a bunch of brown paper sacks and decorated them:

IMG_0902

Then I turned the bags around backwards so I couldn’t see the design and put one Webkinz into each bag. Now I have seven bags with seven Webkinz, but I don’t know which one is in which bag!

IMG_0907

So now when I make my videos, I will get to be surprised by which Webkinz I’m adopting! I think it’s going to be fun!

Of course I’ll be posting the videos here on Crazy 4 Webkinz, but you’ll also be able to find them on my YouTube channel, along with all the other videos I’ve made: TreeHuggerJess
