Hey,

I bought one bag, not expecting much.

Got 3 of the glow nightlights, the Targus accessory bag, and the line chaserz.

This is really useful/fun stuff. Can't wait to show the line chaserz to my son. Thanks TF!

I hope i get the same....

Received my 3 MB's yesterday, gotta say, I'm not that impressed. The junk in the bags is kind of useless, I was hoping for more electronic type items, fun gadgets to play with.

Not sure I'll ever buy one of these again. Evil or Very Mad

Well This will be my second attempt to buy an MB. I bought 1 the last time they were up and wasn't too impressed with what I got. 2 headphones and some markers. Although I can use the one set and are quite nice and worth every penny of $10.00 the other still had the $1.78 K-Mart price tag on it. I bought 2 of the AMB,NOT,part II bags I figured best 2 out of 3 would decide if I continue or not. UPS says out for delivery today and 8 pounds "wOOt" errr or maybe I should have said "SWEET", anyhow crossing fingers!




4 Flings and counting!!

I was thoroughly impressed with my first MB! Got absolute crap from Stootsi's "Box o' Fun", so I was shocked when I got:

Maxell Video Screen Total Cleaning Solution Kit (Needed Badly)
Linksys Wireless G 2.4 GHz wireless network adapter (Great bargaining chip w/ coworkers)
2 Night Wiz Glow night lights (Can never have enough nightlights)
2 Hang Up Touch lights (Perfect lighting for my daughter's playhouse)

Bring on more MB's! I'm in! Thanks TF!

3 bags...
I received...

a total of 10 lights between the Night Owl and the "Sound glow"
3 empty jewel cases
wireless usb adapter
maxell disc repair kit
refill for disc repair kit
dvd markers
cord keepers
1 line chaser

I guess I expected different items, especially for $30.00, at least Woot calls their bags of crap, bags of crap...I expected to be pleasantly surprised, instead, I was pleasantly disappointed. The items in the last MB were great, would have been nice if there had been something useful in these. With the exception of the disc repair kit, all of this is pretty much useless to me.

At least the disc fixer and refills are worth the $30 you spent on the box. Sorry to hear you're not happy. Better luck next time. (If there is a next timeWink )

So you would have been happier if this was advertised as a Bag of Shit?
"First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then flingest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

No.....Embarassed

I probably would have been happier if I had known I was going to spend $30 on a bunch of stuff I can't use.

Perhaps you misunderstood. You bought a MYSTERY box. If you knew everything that was in it before you bought it I don't think they could call it a mystery box. I have bought a ton of mystery boxes/bags/sacks from different sites, ThingFing, Midnight Box, Stootsi, Shnoop, ChickChock and QwickieDeals. ThingFling and Qwickiedeals are the only sites where I have not gotten used, broken or complete dollar store junk items. I haven't bought a single ThingFling mystery or almost mystery box that had items in it that either I or a family member or friend couldn't use. A lot of times I get ipod stuff. I don't have an ipod, but my friends do. They love me! Bottom line is: Don't take a risk you're not willing to take.
73 unique Flings, $1,715 spent and still counting, regardless of the new shipping cost policy!

I agree completely. That's the risk you take when you buy something blind. I wasn't exactly thrilled to get another Pro Disc Fixer after ordering the AMB with it. But, it has already gone to good use. My son's friends birthday is today and he gave it to him as a gift. My kids are too old for the Line Chaserz, but they will be Christmas gifts for friends kids or go to Toys for Tots during Christmas time. The point is maybe you can't use it, but surely you know somebody that can or if you don't there is always a charity, shelter, daycare etc. that would appreciate some of the stuff you got.
