Oh, and an interesting side note.... both the MB from ThingFling and the "Ag" mystery box that I got from another site were marked as being 8 pounds. The ThingFling box was loaded and heavy... that other site's box was lucky to be TWO pounds.  Let's just say I'm glad I got the TF box on the same day as my smaller other one... I guess sometimes I prefer quantity to quality when it comes to surprise packages.

I wouldnt be suprised if they went under as a result of the mess they created with it. I've been waiting 3 weeks now and my box still hasnt shipped. TF's service and interaction with its customers cant be beat, I'll be sticking around here from now on

I have to say I am impressed with what everybody is bringing in! Incredible stuff...
Here's what I got:

I was hoping to get the Phillips Noise Cancelling headphones (SHN9500) in this. If anybody is willing to trade theirs for anything I have here, I'd be open to offers!

 Got my MB today. Quite a nice variety of stuff. I had to double check the box to make sure there wasn't a note telling me I got shagged. Here's what I got: Personal CD player Universal Digital camera AC adapter Universal Mp3 player case iPod case Component Television/Stereo Audio cables - Only item I've previously received (From the last MB I ordered) In-ear headphones with FM radio on lanyard 4-port USB hub 2 magnetic Window alarms 35mm panoramic camera (In one of the pre-wrapped gift boxes) LED Flashlight/Emergency Light/Whistle (The other pre-wrapped gift box) 6 tubes of super glue Stereo in-ear headset Mono ear clip headset - I use a 2-way radio at work, so this will come in handy as well! Power Failure Light - Already put into use! Notebook security cable - Needed one of these! 6" Fluorescent closet light - This will come in handy as well! LED Beacon light - Going into the car for sure! 2 tongue cleaners/scrapers - About time to replace ours, so very nice timing! A very nice collection of stuff me thinks, and will actually be able to use a few items from it. Probably should post in the swap threads, but I wouldn't mind having another couple of the power failure lights. I'm willing to barter with the first 10 items on the list. The latter 8 I may very well put into use, so a job very well done ThingFling!  14 Flings Flung:

Nice haul for 30 bucks, and I can use most of it, instead of going in the 'stocking stuffer' closet! GE personal security alarm GE home security 7-day timer Zenith coax cable crimper (feels like a nice sturdy one too) GE night light neoglo green glo-wand (looks useful for cat-taunting  ) 2 3-packs of superglue (always useful) Southwestern Bell phone headset Gemini power inverter (not sure if it's enough to power a laptop, but surely enough for some other gadgets) Radius led beacon Phillips universal remote strange unbranded cylinder thing, that i assume is for holding cds/dvds? blue zippered bag, looks about the right size to keep toiletries and stuff together, or keep all your DS/games/charger together little battery powered handheld mini-vac that looks great for keeping the computer innards clean and the coolest thing, a linksys wireless-g internet video camera! now i can check out what the aforementioned cat gets up to during the day Thanks TF!

I can't list everything I got because when I opened the box yesterday, the entire family gathered around and it was like feeding time! lol But I must say....this was the rockin-est MB I've gotten thus far and I wish I'd gotten more than one! Nearly everything in it was useful to someone in this household. BEST MB thus far!! ROCK ON, THING FLING!!! Approaching 75 things flung and breathlessly awaiting a shagging!

I love ThingFling, however, this mystery box i felt i was completely screwed. I looked at what everyone else had been getting and i am upset to not see any of the high priced items similar to the other people who recieved thiers. I wanted the ipos speakers and some of the other stuff what did i get? Well let me list these for you and you be the judge.... I dont even think that i got $30 in stuff which sucks because i was always under the impression that thingfling likes to give more than what the person pays for when purchasing a mystery box item.
I got:
2 bottles of Baby bouqet shampoo....that ill never use
Personalized shower
Linksys antenna stand
GPX suction radio
Samsonite toiletry bag
Mini Vacuum
power strip
really cheapy dvi to hdmi cord
2 window alarms
1 doorstop alarm
Phone cord crimping tool
PDA metal case
thats it....
Thing fling i hope your reading this because i would have been very happy with anyone elses mystery box other than my own, personally i feel cheated because i did not get as nearly as nice of a box than other people recieved. Im disappointed...My first fling was the 123.45 mystery box which i loooooooooooved....i used everything. Now, i really dont know about any other mystery boxes from this site....

You KNOW you have a Mystery Box when you find one of THESE on your front porch!! And..holy CRAP! What a GREAT Mystery Box it is!! I feel shagged yet there was no shag letter...I can’t even imagine whats in a shagged box if THIS is what I got! I got: A new Thera Shower hand held massage shower head with the aromatherapy cartridges! (I needed another one of these! How did you know?) RCA Universal Remote Control that lights up BinocularsBig Flashlight (You KNEW Tropical Storm Fay was in town...BTW..she was a no show here... thank God) Three Pen Flashlights (Funny, last weekend I bought three flashlights to prepare for the storm..that didn’t show...now I have seven new flashlights for the next one!) GE Lighted 3-outlet adaptorTwo of those crystal night lights (very pretty little lights) Power Sentry 5 outlet power stripSouthern Bell Hands Free HeadsetA cute little earphone set that fits around your ears Monster Cable ConnectAll 200 RF Modular (funny..I needed one of these for my son’s TV since it was older..but I replaced it with a 26” LCD Flat Panel last month!) I KNOW I can find a home for it though since all my TV’s have finally been replaced by LCD’s. NewPoint High Speed FireWire 6pin to 4pin (always good to have a spare) Black and Decker Freewire wireless home control Appliance Receiver (interresting gadget..I’ll have to play with this one) Sunbeam Home/Office Ionizer (This is GREAT since I smoke) A nice Samsonite Carrying caseAnother Speedo backpack (funny...I’ve received three of these and all have been BLUE! Got any RED ones? My fave color is red) And last but not least..this one really cracked me up...and Lucy just LOVES to tear these up.... SIX Musical cards! She’s having a ball trying to get the singing human inside the card..OUT! I gotta say..I really feel shagged! I need a cigarette now! Here's a pic!  I have to ask..is the Hawaiian Punch company located in New Jersey? Where on earth did you get so many of these boxes? Is Shaggy a Hawaiian Punchaholic maybe? What about KOOL-AID? (que the Kool-aid guy!) I should have bought more than one of these MB's! Every box was completely different this time! This was a GREAT MB! Thanks Royals!

Mine came today. ( Well, actually yesterday but I couldn't get to the box until today. ) No big item here either. Not too much I even think I can use. If anyone wants anything off the list, except the first 2 items, let me know.
Doggie Dance dog treats
Tokina 2 hour battery charger with 4 AA batteries and a car charger
Philips Big Button universal remote
Xantrex Pocket Inverter 100W
GPX suction cup radio
Philips 6' Stereo Audio + S-video cable
GPX portable CD player
Gemini World Travel Adapter
Leather Case for PDA
GE 6" closet light
Nike 2 pack of baseball socks
RCA Coaxial cable wall plate
Monster iPod sport case with dashboard mount
Unpackaged long, blue Monster Cable. I'm not sure what this one is for. One end is a small connector plug the other end splits and has 2 connectors like the size for a DVD player.
Small tool case similar in quality to the Citibank " We Owe You One " tools but about 1/4 the size.

My son thinks I DID get a big item and he thinks it is the unidentified cable. Does anyone have an idea of what this is? That is an audio cable... the small, single plug goes into a headphone jack on an ipod, personal cd player/ or anything else that might have a headphone jack and then you plug the red and white plugs into an audio input on a stereo or any other device with an rca input. So basically it allows you to play audio from your ipod/cd player through your stereo or tv speakers.

How nice that when we play the iPod through the stereo, we can have it a dozen feet away.

That wire also looks alot like the wire I used to hook my stereo system up to my computer before I bought the big****Auvi speaker system for it here on ThingFling (where else?) You plug the single end to the speaker hole in the computer (take your computer speaker wire out first of course) and the two others in the stereo receiver audio holes.
IF you hear any humming from your stereo speakers when you hook this up...then you need to get a Ground Loop Isolator which you can get at any automotive store...and Walmart.
