I know they said that if you got more than three there would be duplicates but NOWHERE did thingfling say that if I ordered four it would be four of the same bag. Not only that, I got four of the one I was least excited about after reading the contents: that stupid Ionizer thing. This was my first fling and you can bet it will be my last!!!   They did warn you. If you read it, they said if you order more than 3, you will have duplicates. It never said "You will get three different ones and another bag". Next time (if there is one), try not to be greedy and maybe you'll get some good stuff. They said duplicates, but not four of the same exact bags. They did say you would get three different bags and then obviously a duplicate since there were only three different bags available. Glad they are fixing it!

I retract my "last fling" comment pending the fix. I have to say, I am impressed that fling would fix this, even though I obviously would have preferred to get the different bags in the first place. Not many places I know would be so quick in admitting fault and starting to fix it. I'm still not the happiest person in the world, but I'm less upset than I was when I opened the package. Maybe they'll even throw in a little something extra for me  just kidding.....(but really thingfling, if you want to I'm fine with it  ) EDIT: They are letting me keep the four of the same I got and shipping me the different ones, all in all this is a very satisfactory solution for me. Thank you thingfling for being so prompt with the fix, I WILL most likely fling again in the future thanks to the great customer service.

Not happy with my 3 MB either. I work in a dollar store and we sell the exact same NeoGlo flash thingies. The UB Kool doesn't work and the Emerson Revealing light has a place for an adapter but none was included. The Coleman laser level was the only decent thing in the box. Definately "not" a Greeeeeat gadget or electronics box as stated. Definately not worth $35.00. I won't be buying anymore MB from ThingFlings.

I got the UB Kool as well. I think it may actually be really useful for me. It seems to work great. I put batteries in and turned it to cool and after a minute or so the blue circle starts to feel nice and icy. Seeing as how I'll be going to Kuwait next week, I'm going to put it through it's paces in 130 degree+ temps and see how it works for me. The other stuff will become swag for a geocache.

I got my 3 bags and had a chance to go over everything. Most of the little flashy lights dont work even with replacing the batteries. The UB Kool is kinda neat. No box or instructions but it seems to work and the little plate cools to the touch, the emergency lights are pretty cool, I will put one in my moms car and the other in mine. and the Ionic thing I dont have a 9volt to test with but I suspect that will come in handy when travaling. Overall its ok, I was expecting alot greater suprise given the description and I wouldnt call it $35 worth but like we have said it is a mystery 29 Flings so far!
I make custom signs, decals and banners. PM or email me for more information! ^_^

Here's the contents of my (three-box) package:
Emerson Revealing Light. Largish flashlight with both florescent and incandescent bulbs and a blinker.
Emerson Car Magnetic Emergency Light. Nice. Plugs into your car cigarette lighter and produces a high-intensity beam.
Glow Wand. (Beginning to see a pattern here?) Battery-operated keychain strobe light.
Neo-Glo keychain LED light
Neo-Glo pocket strobe keychain light
Neo-Glo Flash-Wear crystal pendant. battery op, changes colors. Cute.
Yes, there are a few non-light-emitting items in the box as well...
Coleman Laser Level with hard plastic case. Niiiiiice! Even has a tripod mount!
Sunbeam Travel Ionizer
UB Kool Personal mini-cooler
and a whole bunch of "frame-a-lopes." - apparently a picture frame and envelope in one.
All in all an interesting package. I like the Laser Level a lot - was gonna go out and buy one any way. I didn't really need any more flashlights after all of those shake lights, but I'm sure they won't go to waste. The rest of the stuff is mostly stuff I would use only occassionally or will give to my neice and nephew as gifts. All in all, not a bad box. Thanks, ThingFling!

Dollar Store items are better than this junk. This was my last mystery bag. Even the junk didn't work.

I got exactly the same and I can say that I'm quite happy.  We can always use a level in the house (as a matter of fact we just needed one last week), having another flashlight is always good, especially living in hurricane alley, the kids will love the light up stuff, and the ionizer and UB Kool will come in handy at one time or another. The frame-a-lopes I could do without, but I just consider them filler. Thanks Fling!!!!

Hope you don't mind, I didn't feel like typing it all up and you did it soo nicely.. I only order 1 MB, and here's what I got. UB Kool - The permanent Ice CubeI thought this was cool.. Going to let my mom use it since she always complains that it's cold where ever we go.. LOL Pocket Strobe KeychainIt's ok.. I like that it included extra batteries.. Neo Glo - Flash Wear Multi Colored Crystal PendantMy daughter was it and loved it! But I did notice on the package it said it included 3 extra batteries, but didn't see extras with it.. 1 package of Frame-a-lopes, New YorkI only send pictures through e-mail.. O well, might send to some friends in the UK to see New York on it..
