Although Ganz has never come out and said it and probably never will, the younger Webkinz customers and collectors probably have a harder time coping with it, but the Lil' Kinz line has effectively been discontinued (or put on hiatus is a better phrase for it.) Not releasing a Lil' Kinz since last July is very indicative of this, plus the introduction of the Zumbuddy Webkinz line and two new Signature Webkinz offshoot lines is more than enough proof that Ganz's interests are elsewhere in other product lines. The Signature Webkinz in particular has skyrocketed in popularity due to their larger size and softer nature. Other indicative proof would be that as of late, bird and fish styles have been introduced as normal Webkinz as opposed to Lil' Kinz. If the line was going to continue, would have thought the Lionfish, Caterpillar, Pink Cockatoo, to name a few, would have been Lil' Kinz instead, as they're typically smaller animals in nature.

So if you are wanting these Lil Kinz Webkinz as upcoming presents, you may want to start stocking up on them before they are all gone. Especially since the newly released Webkinz and the Signature Webkinz series don't seem to be slowing down any for the past several months. Don't necessarily count on the prices to go down for a long time on the rest of the Webkinz collection. The Signature Webkinz in particular are usually doubling in price at least. It may be years before that happens or might be the Webkinz variations that you don't like. Now that you have the information, it is up to you.
