I've been in for a few of these things, and aside from CellLightGate, I've been beyond pleased with the weird assortment of items I get from these things.

Now shag me!

I'd like to point out the Other Hot Deals lists a 3ft HDMI-to-HDMI cable. It's not necessarily what's in the MB, but it's sometimes a hint.
Condition: Brand New (sounds consistent with being cables)
Limit 1 (some might find a HDMI-HDMI cable useful, but more than one? Maybe that's why there's an order restriction.)


But, I'm just sayin', y'know? I could be wrong. Take it as you will.

Going for another MB! Hoping to be shagged by Royalty!Very Happy


Edit: I was charged $6 for shipping versus the $4 advertised on the Homepage - I sent a message to billing in hopes they can correct that. Also asked about my first time flinger coupon that is invisible to me in "My Flings".......anyone know where this coupon is?

Boy, I would love to buy one of these mystery boxes, but right now I am not in a position to buy one. Being a single dad with a nine year old daughter, I had to scrimp and save every penny so I could take my little girl on vacation to see her grandparents.. So, here we sit looking at the beautiful mystery box that I must let go...

I told myself I wasn't going to do it anymore, but I finally broke down. Hate to rehash old stuff, but the 999 issue still weighs heavy on my mind, as does the more recent "non-standalone" items of the 12345 MB.

In any case, I'm considering this a belated birthday present to me. I celebrated the big five-oh earlier this month. I hope I got myself something good!

I really miss the days of the assortment of smaller items found in the earliest TF MBs.

I hope that this box will see a return to the old ways and provide some good and useful stuff. I haven't seen too many new items on TF lately. A lot of the same things keep coming up again and again. Perhaps some new stock will make its premiere appearance in these latest MBs.
The list is getting out of hand. Time to drop the details and just include a summary!

21 flings flung - 14 of them mysteries - $401.77 total damage

I seen this as well, but even though I don't own an HDTV (yet), I went ahead and pulled the trigger on this one... If nothing else, there is always the swap forums or ebay

Okay, I'm giving it one more chance.

I bought the 9.99 infamous. d'oh!

Then I gave it another shot with the AMB. Ended up getting the refund since they didn't have those. Brick wall Brick wall

Then I got the 123.45 box. d'oh! It's still sitting in the trunk of the car. My husband would kill me if I told him how much I actually paid for it, and I'm still too embarrassed to bring it in. Sick

I still haven't tried to sell anything on ebay or anywhere else. Too much trouble. I have a third bedroom that is full of boxes that have things that I can't use.

Pray Pray Pray Pray Let me be able to use this one!!
Or at least let it be something that teaches me how to get rid of the rest of the stuff, so that I can have my 3rd bedroom back.

Just to let them know, I don't have an ipod, xm, sirus, zune, ps2, ps3, wii, xbox, or any other game consoles.
I do however have 2 bestfriends, a 3.7 lb chihuahua and a 13.4 lb mutt. My Pickle (the 13.4lb mutt) is the best dog ever!! He may be the ugliest dog ever, but if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here.

In for 1. Priced right in the sweet spot. The 123.45 was a bit much.

I'm with you about the embarrassment. Embarassed I can't tell people how much I spent on it and I am trying to sell the stuff and I know I won't even get close to what I paid for it. My parents do not know exactly how much I spent for it (I told them around $100) and they are telling me how irresponsible it was, pretty much every time I see them (which as a college student home for the summer is pretty often).

I am not in for one TF. I might buy a real item in the future but I for one am OVER your mystery boxes Evil or Very Mad.

Ummm. No thanks. No mention that it's not just stuff that didn't sell before, or that I've bought before. I'll be sticking with AMB's, or at least ones that mention what's NOT going to be in it.
