New Gamestop Bundles!

**JaredSpellFrost** · 10-7-20, 3:03:37 PM

Blaze Lifehammer just made this video on these upcoming bundles!

Two new bundles have been hinted at- the Pet Trainer Bundle and the world themed Candied Isles Bundle. The Pet Trainer card costs $29.99* and the world bundle costs $39. So far we only have a description and image for the first bundle:

Wizard101™ is an elaborate virtual world of magic come to life. Redeem this code to receive a bundle of exclusive pet themed items PLUS 1-month unlimited game access or 5000 Crowns to purchase other magical items or premium zones. This game card includes:

One month of unlimited access to Wizard101 or 5,000 Crowns that can be used to buy in-game items or unlock premium zones.
Pet Burrow & Pet Door Teleporters
One Fur Wheeler Mount
One Pup Prodigy Pet
One Pet Trainer Gear Set
One Pawzooka Weapon

The Pet Trainer giftcard is currently "not available", but the Candied Isles bundle is available for preorder, as it has a listed release date of November 1st, 2020!

*Technically it is currently listed as $29 with a "99 cent sale"

As a reminder: Items cannot be added to the Wiki until they are formally announced by KingsIsle.

@Sparck We had this problem recently. Unreleased Bundles are appearing on the GameStop website.

FYI ...

And why doesn't KI just release Bundles and Gift Cards on their own website, rather than use GameStop?

Wouldn't KI make out better that way? More players would have easier access to them. ??

I hope for the pet bundle one, for those who buy it, it gives top energy gear.

Blaze mentioned in the video how this is a reoccurring situation- it happened with the Heavenly Palace Bundle and there have been several pets released to the Crown Shop that only costed gold for the first few minutes of their arrival.
It makes me wonder how much of a grip KingsIsle has on these types of things, and why it keeps happening... Maybe they are just abiding by their "Beastmoon Philosophy"- even if something has known bugs, release it anyway!

The new house from the world bundle is going to be everyone's new favorite Christmas house. Just wait, there will be scores of them in seasonal Castle Tours by December; actually really looking forward to it.

I've added the word SPOILER to this thread's title. Some members do not like having information like this prior to official release.

Is it spoiler though? The items are already in game (as evidence of the pet hatches on live server). In other words, players can prove with in-game screenshots the stats.....and it isn't test realm. Kingsisle has already let InComm/Gamestop announce the Bundles (through retail media outlets). Kingsisle has stated before that they usually delay official announcement on their own sites, only because they want to let more retail outlets stock them or make them available so they don't confuse players or waste their time driving to stores that don't have them yet.

I thought spoilers were identified as data mining the test realm or live realm servers and sharing information that isn't even finished in the production process?

If the precedent is that information can't be added to the Wiki until an official KI Twitter or web page post acknowledges the new items......seems a bit much to force players to time it with a correct day/time stamp including the fact some items NEVER get officially announced.

When setting up the Wiki Item pages for the Bundle Gift Cards, the guideline has been that a formal Announcement / Release from KingsIsle should be shown, usually on their website or one of their social media pages. In the past, we found that changes were made (Item names, stats, etc.) before the 'official' release.

If players have uncropped ingame screenshots (from the Live Realm, and not from another website), then those Items (Pets, gear, etc.) can be added. But of course, the corresponding Bundle Gift Card page will not link at that time.

That is my understanding of how it works on the Wiki end. If the other Wiki Masters have a different view on this, please let me know.

Hope that helps somewhat. ??
