I got a Shining Star :)

-The plush is very high quality, softer and MUCH cuter than Webkinz.

-The tag can only be opened with scissors, whick decreases chances that someone will open the code and use it before buying

-2/3 the money earned from Shining Star sales is donated. Also, the site donates extra (real) money for every few virtual dollars you donate!

-Instead of getting a list of a few random traits for your pet, you shape its personality.

For Exaple: I choose whether my Webkinz are sporty or girly, kind or bullying, ect. but certain attributes of my kinz are not decided by me (so far, my personality for them has fit in with their other traits, but it's only a matter of time before my "lazy" webkinz say they are a good athlete!)

Anyways, the movies are cheesy but cute... the starcade music is annoying and the games are ok but a lil glitchy... Star Makeover is tonsa fun :)
