In the shops... 

Today's item: Baseball Cap!

This member (sorry nonmems!) item is sold on the first page of Jam Mart Clothing. A complementary addition to Animal Jam's current baseball theme, am I right? 

Very exciting news!... 

For all you Americans out their this may not be totally exciting. But for us British it is the best thing EVER! I went on to the animal jam page on the national geographic press. And I found this...

 

National Geographic Animal Jam has grown primarily by word of mouth, which makes the milestone even more impressive. Players average more than 65 minutes of gameplay per session and collectively watch over 60,000 minutes of educational video daily. Players are engaged not just in the social aspects of traditional virtual world gameplay, but also in the various educational components of the game. From custom video content from scientists like marine biologist Tierney Thys and reptile expert Brady Barr to fact-collecting for rewards, players are continuously exposed to rich multimedia content from National Geographic.

2012 was also a banner year for the newly minted Animal Jam gift cards now available at retailers nationwide, including Target and WalMart stores. Their success has led to wider distribution through additional retailers nationwide, starting this summer. A growing percentage of “Jammers” is visiting from international territories, and global growth of the Animal Jam property will be a strong focus for Smart Bomb Interactive in 2013. The already established fan base in the U.K., Canada, and Australia will be happy to hear that Animal Jam gift cards are heading to retail stores near them in early 2013. New language localizations for the game are also planned to launch this year, including German and Portuguese. 

In short animal jam membership cards is coming to THE UK!!! 

I also found they are doing a cool new app called tunnel town. 

Also slated for early 2013 is the first Animal Jam iOS app, “Tunnel Town.” A spin-off from the Animal Jam property, Tunnel Town features the Animal Jam rabbits and the Alpha Rabbit, Peck, and is set in a new 3D world. Players can breed new rabbit species to grow their community, dig their own burrows, and decorate and customize to their hearts’ content. From an underground palace to a cavernous hideout, the Smart Bomb Interactive team has provided all the tools necessary to let players’ imaginations run wild in this new interactive and dynamic landscape. 

Unfortunately for people with out apple items iOS is by apple.

National Geographic is making a new online game called 'Plan It Green Live'.

In the real life world shops... 

more Sidekix plushies have arrived in AJ Outfitters.

They look pretty darn cute, I must say. Also, AJHQ has added a new Gem Certificate option. 100k gems? That's a lot of spending power!

Is a tad pricey if you ask me, and I'd always prefer a membership. But as they always say, to each his (or her) own!
