Wow guess it's all in the eyes of the bholder. There's a lot of things mentioned I hope I do get, and a lot I hope I don't get, but that is in the sense of how useful they are to me. Either way it sounds like everyone got more than there moneys worth. I'll take what I can use and like, and either give away the remainder or ebay it. What's really neat is that everyone seems to be getting a wide variety of different things in their boxes--in my experience with thingfling and AMBs and the like they're usually pretty uniform. So I'm still excited about mty box that will be arriving tomorrow, as I have no clue what I might be getting still. The only things I see in common with all the boxes is 1) radioshack and 2) Thiongflingers don't own no stinkin' ipods - proving what I always suspected, they truly are evolved and enlightened smart consumers.

Mine says 11 lbs - we'll see what I end up with! I will post with a photo when I receive my box - UPS delivery date says 12/20, so I'll see if I get it tomorrow. Hey, if I can't use it, it goes to my b/f. "Merry Christmas sweetheart! Look at all this awesome stuff I bought you!"

Per UPS, my MB is "OUT FOR DELIVERY" as of 6:22 A.M. For some reason, the UPS truck does not deliver to my house until around 6 pm, so I'll probably have it tonight. Sure, there are visions of ipods, lcd tvs and xboxes dancing in my head, but since I have an 11 lb box, I figure I'll be getting cables, ipod accessories, etc. too. Either way, the fun is opening the box!

okay i just got mine. he's what was in the box
1) 12ft Monster Subwoofer cable - Could use this...
2) 4 in one universal charger thing that is for cable, house, and 9v battery - need this
3) CD wallet - already have many of these
4) 14ft Cat 5e Crossover cable - need this
5) Radioshack "fogless shower mirror" - useless
6) telezapper - useless
7) 4th generation ipod case - useless
8 ) Palm Pilot modem - useless
9) Panasonic Headphones - cheap, but maybe usable
10) "Musini" kids game - useless
Out of all my items, was it worth it?
I guess so, if just for the monster cable, the charger, and the crossover cable. The bulk of the weight was junk, though.

Just got mine a few minutes ago...
1.) Digital Golf Pro (Kinda cool)
2.) d_skin protective cd skins (very cool, need for a game I can't replace)
3.) Clicker Universal Keyless entry for Garage door (don't have a garage, giving to my mom)
4.) Yellow M&Ms radio (Useless to me)
5.) Wireless Jack for Phones and Modems (useless)
6.) Blue RadioShack flashlight (handy to have)
7.) Pelican Eclipse XBOX Controller (Useful if I didn't have the 360 already)
8.) Environizer replacement bulbs (would be great if I actually had an Environizer)
9.) Catch-A-Call (totally useless...again who has dialup?)
10.) TeleZapper (Useless, don't have a homephone only cell)
11.) Jabra ProBoom (cool but doesn't work with my phone)
12.) Card Reader for Memory Stick (useless, no SD reader?)
13.) 5.8GHz Digital Cordless Phone (Pretty nice phone but useless for me)
14.) Scion Vol1:Episodes 1-7 Digital Comic Book (Never heard of the series, but at least I got Vol 1 unlike others!)
All in all, kinda disappointed with this one, but they all can't be gems I guess. Surely I can find someone to give this stuff to lol!

I got mine today and it contained much the same as some of the others. I wasn't going to post but I did get one thing that I haven't seen posted yet. I'm pretty excited about that.
Phillips CAT5e cable(same as others)
Monster Car Audio Cable(diddo)
Digital Camera Universal Power Pack (could be useful)
Game Boy Micro Strong Case (no game boy)
Two Ipod cases Sport case and brown Leather(No IPOD)
One For All Big Easy universal remote with oversize keys for comfort of use as I get older and my fingers get fatter.
Digital FM Transmitter for IPod(still don't have Ipod)
Lamp Timer(This is nice so as I travel I can pretend to the burglers someone is home)
Two packs of Fridge Magnets
Universal Mobile Phone Clip(I've never seen one of these, I don't think it ever made it out of the gadget shops)
Cord It cable and cord manager(twists your cords up in a little case, this could be fun to play with)
LG 12v cell phone power adapter (for my Motorola Phone)
Sport Clipz football Game(my batteries are good)
LinkSys wireless USB adapter(The best thing in the box, but I still don't need it)
And last but not least.... The most exciting thing that I haven't seen anyone post yet is...a nice dented and dusty bottle of DenTek Mouth Rinse. (Finally something that I can use) except I just bought Mouth rinse yesterday.
Oh well, you win some and lose some, It was fun. But I'm not going for WK2. I'm moving in two weeks and it will be hard enough to find someone to give this stuff too.

You have to wait till UPS scans it into their system. That's when the estimated delivery date will appear. UPS will be delivering on the 24th!

So far no one has received super glue!! I was thinking super glue would be ThingFling's equivalent to the early Woot BOC's, which always had at least one "Kensington Priority Puck". http://www.business-supp...ument-holder_18821.html
