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.

Chip and Pins are one of the most efficient ways of paying. The customer hands their card to the clerk at the point of sale, who either swipes the card through a magnetic reader or makes an imprint from the raised text of the card.
