Doesn't it seem most Very Rares are either grey black or white, the plain colors?

I don't understand why they and forcing people to but other Ub hub anyway. I haven't brought speed racer and Chim chim because of that. My son already has a Ub hub why buy another.

It sure does feel like we are forced to buy another hub, but the singles will come out at some point. But because of the huge delay in SP & chim-chim coming out, I did give in & buy another hub along with them. I'm not that happy about it, though. But the new hubs do give a variety of options for people who are just getting started with the game and it truely is a starter kit for them. And maybe there are others who are true collectors, so they want to buy everyone that is out there. But you're right, certainly in the case of SR, it sure looks like a forced buying situation.

I've been laughing at all of the ridiculous ebay listings the last few days. If we wouldn't pay 20 something for a new hub, bones and drift, why would we pay it for 1 funkey? I just remind myself by the time I won the listing, waited for it to ship, it would probably be at my local target. Until then I can keep trying to master the games that were hard for me.

I think that fact that people are listing a single dream state funkey on Ebay for $20-30 should be a sign to Mattel that they need to really work more with their distributors to make sure that the people who are authorized to carry their products are following the rules and make sure they are available to all parts of the country. Our Walmart has never gotten the Speed Racer series and were several months behind other areas getting the Funtiki island and Series 2 characters. With gas being more than $4 a gallon the idea of driving 120 miles to a Target and Toysrus to HOPE they have a new funkey is plain out crazy. So is the idea of paying 3-4 times the price of a figure and an obscene amount of postage to someone who happens to live in an area where they are more available. Lily and I have found that this has only lead our funkey addiction to wane and I think they are probably a lot of funkey addicts who are turned off by the unavailablility of characters in certain areas. Mattel pay attention you have a hot product that may be losing its fans by your practices.

Actually this might be a marketing disaster for Mattel.....since the Bones game made me totally insane and I would never play it again now that we have the shard. Might turn a lot of potential Funkey addicts off.

We are new to the UB Funkeys so we don't know too much of the terms behind it. Our first purchase was the Bones and Drift starter pack. Our Bones goes to Magma Gorge, so I'm not sure if that's any different than the old Bones or not. As far as Drift, he's been useless so far. We got the pack in July and called the 800 number and the rep informed me that his portal would be available on August 1st. He still doesn't work and I'm not sure what's going on. If Bones does the same thing as the other Bones I wouldn't bother purchasing this pack. It doesn't seem that you can even go into Dream State with this starter pack at all.

No? well if you were trying to figure out where drift goes to his game room is actually right in Funkeystown.

Hi Oatmealdan! That must have been you who left the comment over on the blog! I'm glad you came here. I finally wrote an answer to your question over on my blog, but if it's hard to find over there (sometimes comments get lost in all the posts!), then I can copy it over here.
Sounds like you didn't get a knowledgeable Rep. when you called Mattel, they were mistaken that it was a lack of portal causing the problem. That's too bad they misled you & now you have missed out on Flipper Fever for this long! It sounds like a defective Funkey. There are some solutions that you can try in the Techincial Help section here on the forum. And you might want to call Mattel again & get a more knowledgeable Rep on the phone (that's so disappointing they gave you the wrong answer). Good luck with this & I hope it's resolved soon. Please keep us updated!

I dont really care anymore about how bones is in the starter because of how they are releasing drift separately and now I have one but I really want a VR Drift he looks so awsome!
