Local Retail Stores vs. Online Stores
Parents have two options where to buy a Webkinz or Lil' Kinz, either a local retail toy store or online toy store. Choosing a local retail store offers the quickest way to buy a Webkinz or Lil' Kinz. You can call a store before traveling there to find out if they carry your favorite Webkinz pet. If they don't have it in stock, usually you can order it and get on a waiting list. Once your order arrives, the store will contact you or you can contact them. Usually, a store will tell you when their next shipment will arrive. They should also have a catalog for you to see all the Webkinz and Lil' Kinz pictures to help you find a favorite.
However, retail toy stores often lack variety and there exist scarcity as well as waiting weeks for your Webkinz or Lil' Kinz to arrive at the store. And if you want a hard to find, seasonal or retired Webkinz, local stores simply don't carry them. They rather stock the newer Webkinz and Lil' Kinz instead. Therefore, you may have some work to do when trying to find a retail store with your favorite. On the other hand, a store can call one of the other franchise stores, if available, to see whether or not they have your favorite. But more than likely, they may not have the rare, seasonal, or retired Webkinz you may want such as the Webkinz Cheeky Dog.
On the other hand, you have another option. If you want to avoid the crowds, standing in lines, and don't want to opt for a waiting list, then consider online stores. You can get instant access to specialized toy stores and target exactly what you want quickly, as well as receive more variety, quantity, breeds, and pictures that you can't shake a stick at. Finding a one-stop shop n' go website that includes Webkinz, Lil' Kinz and accessories makes shopping online both easy and quick. And you'll have the toy you want at your doorstep in a matter of days.
Your child will have fun looking at all the pictures over the Internet while selecting favorites, and will become more excited when anticipating the delivery date. Online stores create another benefit for parents. For instance if you consider yourself a bargain hunter, then you have the option to place a bid to win a Webkinz Dog auction online and save money. So instead of buying one Webkinz, you could get a good bargain for two or more.
Whichever choice you make, whether shopping online or off, remember when giving your child or someone else a favorite Dog Webkinz only enhances his/her happiness. As far as popular opinion goes, Webkinz toys offer the best gift that any kid could ever want--they simply go crazy over them.
