webkinz!!!!!!!! are your kids into these stuffed animals????

I have 2 little girls and everything right now is about Webkinz. They even go on ebay to check them out and tell me endless times in a day which ones they want. When they get time on the computer they are on the website. I can't believe what a rage that these things have turned into. I should not complain though, because I have gotten my moneys worth on these. They play with them all the time. We even made homes for them out of boxes and they painted and decorated them. Who would have thought that a stuffed animal would have become so popular? I have to wonder though that if it wasnt for the website, would these toys be soo popular? What do you think?
