these can get exspensive. As with any toy. My Nephew loves this toy. It's good to get the value packs.
The only thing I can think to do is reinstall the software which will force all 3 of my kids to start from scratch. At login only original user IDs are available for selection, you cannot type in this new ID that was just created, therefore you can no longer gain access to your acct. If you select "no" it tells you that you will not be able to participate in many features of the product. And we will still have to deal with the pop up at login at the beginning of every game. It does tell you at the end of the process that this will replace your old login info.no problem right. My kids got the starter kit 4 days ago and have since gone to 4 different stores looking for new characters.
Immediately after the Login process a screen pops up asking you if you want to create a unique user ID for chats etc. After searching the website & google to figure out how to fix this, I discovered this is a universal problem with the system & there is no solution. At $5-$8 a pop they have purchased 7 new ones in just 3 days. WRONG. With my 5 year old playing this game, I am sure we will find tgame (aside from the fact that you have to keep buying new characters to progress in the games), but today I say, my kids wasted a whole lot of their money & I hope they will consider returning these to the stores. They have been hooked-until today.
My 10 year old decided to go ahead and create this new user ID.
Would recommend. Easy to use, fun for the kids, cheap to get extra Funkeys to add on.
PKUNZIP is proprietary, Mattel).He enjoys it, but he doesn't realize how incredibly slow it is. Characters crawl along the screen. I got this for my son, who uses an older Windows 98 machine. If he ever sees a friend playing it on a faster computer, he'll get sick of it instantly. The program is a total system hog, which is probably okay for Gigahertz-level CPU's, but not for the older computers that families tend to pass on down to their kids. It refused to work at first, until the website support eventually got it working. (After needing to install an unzip program on the Windows 98 machine.
I even took it to a friends house he had a playdate with, and they installed it no problem. He still loves Webkinz, but these are so much more economical. I bought this for my son for Christmas. I bought a bunch of them at Target for $4.49. The ages say 8+, but he is only six, and plays with it no problem. He loves it. I didn't have any problem installing it, worked like a charm the first time.
