First time flinger / MB'er... I got all three as well. I wasn't disappointed, but I also wasn't impressed for $30. Heading back to woot after this experience.

Ordered two $10. MB and one $31.99. Paid total of $16.00 shipping. Looks like they are all shipping in same box, 13.6 pounds. That's pretty steep shipping for the weight. Guess it pays to hold everything and ship at once, but no break for shipping them all in the same box unless everything purchased the same day, hmmmm. Well, anyway, due to arrive 6/21. Hope it's worth the $68.00 bucks. Last one was interesting and well worth it.
Will wait impatiently and hope no cables arrive. Sure do need one of those wireless print servers. May have to break down and order one. Everyone get in on the Yugoff today?
Pretty good stuff.

Ok, I've been a long time Wooter. And I've only just recently been turned onto ThingFling by word of mouth. So after several days of innocently watching from the sidelines, I decided to jump right in and let my first order from TF be a MysteryBox.
C'mon, TF, don't do me wrong.


Well, I suppose my plea paid off...or at least, that's what I'm telling myself.
I received a "You've been Shagged" note in my box. woo hoo
So here are the contents. I'm sure most of them are the same as everyone elses, but something has to be different...

All packed in one mysterious Hawaiian Punch Berry Blue Typhoon box.
1 Maxell audio splitter (I needed one of these for the kids and the portable dvd player, so very good)
1 pair over the ear clip-on style headphones (actually not too bad, and I also needed a set)
1 personal security alarm (not really sure what it's good for other than driving the dog bonkers)
1 U.S. Navy squishy pillow (my son loved it and immediately confiscated it for himself)
1 ThingFling trademark LED fan (pretty neat, also got confiscated, but by my daughter)
1 Dale Jr. #8 Nascar dog bandana (I do have a small dog, but I don't think she'll be wearing this)
1 data-sensing LED USB A/B cable (I like the lighted stuff all over my computer, so this will be a decent addition)
1 LinkSys CIT310 Dual-Mode Cordless Phone for Yahoo! Messenger with Voice (I'm pretty sure this is the little extra sumthin sumthin from Shaggy. Pretty cool, and worth more than what I paid for the M.B., so good deal all around)

Thanks TF!

Welcome to the Flingdom And CongratsExclamation Exclamation Dancing Dancing on the shaggingExclamation Exclamation BTW from what you listed it looks to me like you only ordered 1 MB which is just fine and the MB was actually the USB a/b cable and the LinkSys CIT310 Dual-Mode Cordless Phone. All the rest was the Shagging. CONGRATSExclamation Exclamation Dancing Dancing

I would have been happy with the Ipod speakers. As my first Fling, I was very unhappy that what I got was mostly cables that I can't even use. Very unhappy with my Mystery boxesSad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad

I am very sorry that you were so unhappy/ disappointed with your first MB purchase from TF. But I feel if you wanted something as specific as Ipod speakers you shouldn't be looking for it in a MB from this or any site. Ok you got cables that you can't use but was it worth the price? More than worth it. What else did you get? Are you able to use any of it? or is your family? Friends?
Hope your next purchase, MB or regular, is more satisfying for you

I finally received mine today, dang FedEx guy waited until almost 5PM to deliver it. Anyway, I am very happy. This is much better (and more expensive) than the one time I got the "other" box from Woot. I received the following:

1 data-sensing LED USB A/B cable
1 Linksys CIT310 Dual-Mode Cordless Phone for Yahoo! Messenger with Voice
1 Linksys Antenna Stand for TNC connectors
1 Shower Radio
2 Coax cables
1 DVI-HDMI cable
1 DVI-DVI cable
Set of 4 flashlights (2 large and 2 medium sized)

Again, I am very happy and think I got $30 worth. I don't need the cables now, but eventually I bet I will. I will use the shower radio and eventually use the USB phone. I just bought a Belkin wireless router and will see if the Linksys Antenna stand will work, but I have a feeling it wont work. If not I know people with Linksys routers. Thanks TF! I will be buying the next mystery box......maybe not the $32 one, but cheaper ones definitely.

MB vs. BOC? I'll take the BOC.

6' lighted, USB cable
CIT310 Yahoo dual mode phone
that's it

What a joke. Writing this one off as a waste of $16.00.

The stupid phone is up for sale, I'll throw in a free USB cable. What's that you say? There's DOZENS of these stupid things for sale on Ebay and they aren't selling? Oh.

And every single one that has sold has done so for well over the $10 you paid (all but two for over the $16 you're complaining about). I'll buy yours for $10. PM me if you're interested.

Just keep going to the website. This website offers more Mystery boxes than most websites. most of the time on the right hand side of the main page there is a section called upcoming flings. look in there it will tell you one is coming up but it wont give you the time when to expect it. just keep on looking
13 Flings flung so far !!!

I received my 3 $10 Mystery Boxes. Thank-You TF for all the goodies. I am jealous that others got more "fun" stuff like headphones and speakers. NO complaints...just envy. Maybe TF could do a girl/boy MB? I am collecting a lot of stuff that I can't use and need to be more selective with my MB's in the future. A girlie box would be the cat's meow for me. And a special thank-you for the extra lil wrench set. I plan on putting a little pink dot on all pcs to prevent the 'boys' in my house from claiming this in the name of manliness.

Thanks for the excitement of Christmas surprises in June Shaggy!!!

I received my Mystery Box and I received the Linksys Dual-Mode Yahoo Messenger Phone and 6FT USB Lighted Data-Sensing USB Cable. The cable I can use now but I don't like or want Yahoo Messenger. Does anyone know if the phone will work with Skype? The phone is a Linksys CIT310. There is a Linksys CIT200 that works with Skype just wondering if this can be "Reserve Engineered" to work with Skype?

I also got the same pack and found that all the cables were marked as philips. I searched the net with their model number and found only match for one cable. FOr 3 cables the model number even doesnt exist Sad........... can someone tell me what does this mean?

Well got mine today .

I will check out the phone as it will seem ok for the daughter but going to check on the volume thing everyone is talking about .

2 coax patch cords ( got to love that they are marked digital)
1 dvi cable 12 foot long
1 audio & componet cable 12 feet long
1 hdmi to dvi 6 feet long

the four flashlights and the shower radio.


Well dont feel it was really worth the $30 ($10x3) but it was great waiting for it to get here .

Now I will just have to see if the 3 bags of crap that I won on woot will be a better value .

But think I will be leaving the mb's alone for a while
