For the phones and docking system alone, it was worth it. I will probably give most of the other stuff to friends, but I am satisfied. Thanks Thing Fling!!! Looks like a very good box. They must of stepped it up a bit due to the poor reactions to the first 2 boxes. I'll be the first to admit they are sending usable items in this one instead of accessories. Unfortunately I didn't buy one since I busted 60 bucks on junk that I haven't been able to use or even give away to family and friends. Good job on box 3 thingfling!  well said....I'll bet that most people that whined won't have the b*lls to say anthing like that 39 flings as of 7-4-08 and counting

Got my 3rd box today. I was hesitant with purchasing the 3rd box, but figured what they hey, it's only $30, and I may miss out on the best 1 of all. Well I'm glad I did purchase it. Here's what I got:
- Altec Lansing XM3020 speaker docking system
- Philips Cordless Phone and Answering Machine
- Phillips expansion Phone
- Slim Mini-Vac
- (2) Screwdriver Bit Sets
- Metal necklace with I think a cat
- AV Cable
- Line Analyzer
- Orthodontic Wax (Prob can find some use around the house for it)
- Nokia Belt Clip
- Cordless Phone Clip (Prob can use with my new Phillip Cordless phone)
- USB to 30-Pin Adapter ( can give to my buddy who has a Ipod Shuffle)
- Octal D-Type Flip-Flop; Positive Edge-Trigger 3 State (unsure what this is)
- 60 GB I-Pod rubber skins (3)
- Microbead Pillow with the United Kingdom Flag
All and all, not too bad. Thanks ThingFling!

Im praying I get that xm speaker. I could use that. Over all the third box seems to be a good one.
I dont know whats going on with my box. It says shipped on the 7th but its the 9th and all I get from ups.com is "
Billing information has been sent to UPS. Check site later for updated shipment status or contact shipper for more details."
It says its 12 pounds but I get no verification that the box is on its way. This is frustrating. Normally I would have had the box by now.

great haul overall
Just an FYI for all of you that receive the XM speakers...I got these a while ago in another MB and you might just want to hang on to them...They work with IPODS, Zunes etc... they have a connecting cable for these devices (at least the one I got did). The reason they say XM is because the XM receivers fit in the slot and connect direct. Open the box, read the directions, look for the cable...you may be being overly generous with something you can use!

Can someone with the XM speakers check if they work with the Roady XT? I'd bet they do...
I just bought 1 on that other well know daily deal site, and I needed a home speaker setup for it...if I have one coming in a box from Thing Fling I'll be BEYOND happy!

That's the inMotion speakers as far as I can tell (I got two of those from other mystery boxes) this one doesn't support MP3 players I don't think 39 flings as of 7-4-08 and counting

A Mexican flag pillow? Meh. Im Italian. Its soft though.
Everyone is getting more than me. So far I dont think anyone has the psp fm tuner which now i realize I can use with my Archos 605 wifi which makes it perfect. So I guess id rather have that. And the cross function pen too. Did anyone get that? What the hell is it?

Really nice wood frames too) Linksys wireless b card (Friend still on win98 can use this) Metal Gameboy Micro Case. (Need to find someone who own's one of these) Framelope (Picture card mailer and stand) Gemni 80 watt power inverter (Great for charging the laptop in the car.)

I got a smile when I openned my box, I love my James Dean Pillow, but I know who he is. Kind of nice for an old single gal. I got the phones with the add on handset, the speakers thing, a 35 mm vivitar camera, game light, wireless booster card, Dental floss picks (my son will love these, he's 5 and thinks they are great), a dc/ac univeral converter. I can actually identifiy the items. Some times I get things I can't figure out. On one site, I got this phone plug thing. It had 2 wires that came out like a measuring tape and went back in, and it had 2 double sided clips. I'm guessing it is something for an office. oh yea, I got the skins and the jump drive.
