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?

A Closer Look: Purple Bumper Car

Yesterday we took a closer look at the Airplane Window, one of three new exclusive items available at the Wish Factory. Today we’re going to check out the new Purple Bumper Car.

The Purple Bumper Car is a lot like the red bumper car, which was also an exclusive item. The old bumper car was retired, though, when this latest batch of new exclusive items were released.

Purple is one of my favorite colors, so I was excited about this new bumper car, and I also think it will be pretty cool in my arcade rooms.

As you probably expected, your pet can ride around in the Purple Bumper Car:

Here are a couple of different views of the Purple Bumper Car. Here I have it placed in an arcade themed room:

Are you going to save up your wish tokens to get a Purple Bumper Car? Let me know what you think about this new exclusive item!

A Closer Look: Airplane Window

Ganz recently brought us three new exclusive items: the Airplane Window, the Fancy Hotel Dining Table and the Purple Bumper Car.You can buy these exclusive items for 15 wish tokens each at the Wish Factory, or you might win one as your random gift when you adopt a new pet.

To make room for these new exclusive items, two older items have been retired:

Today we’re going to take a quick look at the Airplane Window. Just like the name says, this exclusive item is a window that looks like it belongs inside an airplane:

The window is interactive – you can click on it to shut it. When it’s closed it features a cute paw print design:

Also, the Airplane Window is animated – when it’s open you can see different shapes and sizes of clouds floating by:

Overall, for me the Airplane Window isn’t really the most exciting exclusive item that’s been released. There is a Kinz Air theme, though, that this window will match, including an airplane chair you can select as your Pet of the Month exclusive item if you adopt a POTM.
