Well so far there is only 3 things i Can Complain about..
1. New Series not released here same time as everywhere else....
2. Staff at stores taking stock (using staff discounts so getting cheaper than us and then selling for ridiculous prices on ebay)
3. Pink U.B hub not available to Australia so i can not complete set fully

This is a good idea for a thread. The Mattel Reps and/or engineers do read the blogs and message boards for ideas, so if there is something you want them to know........post away!!!!
I'm curious about the Pink Hub. Other than the collector's aspect of it, does it do anything different than the original hub? As far as I have figured out so far, it came with a code and that secret got out without purchasing it!!!
I hope I don't need to buy the Speed Racer hub to make the whole new part of the game functional. (wench 5- I almost didn't see your 3rd complaint because the pink is so light. Clever to make it pink, though!) Do you have any Limited Too stores in Australia? It appears it was a limited addition just for that store. That must cost bunches to get sent over there!

I think my two biggest complaints thus far are:
1. I have yet to really find funkeys for sale on any of the places that the official U. B. Funkeys website lists as online retailers.
2. I would love to be able to rotate furniture in all directions instead of being limited to two.
Lily says her biggest complaint is the Bones game and her lack of ability to manipulate the line speed.

I have to agree with Wench... although I am even further south than her, down here in New Zealand.
We get sod-all stock down here, and Funkeys hit shelves and were basically sold out within a few weeks! However, because I know a couple of people at a big chain-store, they often try to transfer stock in for me, problem is they are usually ones I have.
Also to note, we don't/didn't get any of the promo stock, and looks like we might not even get Series 3/4/5 Funkeys at all! (3 is Funkiki Islands, 4 is Speed Racer and 5 is Dreams... I think)

OH there is one more thing TIKI YELLOW isnt actually yellow it is an olive green colour......Some parents here having trouble finding them when they ask for yellow tiki stores telling them none in stock Mattel-Radica need to update that i think..
Here all the first 42 were released at the same time so thats why i have called it series 1 and Funkiki Island Series 2

My big complaints are 1. some of the games could be less long and tedious. 2. funkey should walk faster i mean it takes me 10 minuts to get from GFS to the Magma Gorge portal. 3.the random funkeys that walk around and do nothing you should be able to talk to them and get stuff for free.
thats all but still if these were met i would call this game perfect!!!!!!

Just one thing. They should be able to talk to the other funkeys walking around. This game is like the fantasy quest games for the teenagers whichis why my son loves them but in the older games, you are able to communicate.

My main and number one complaint is that when I go to a store here in IL all I find is 9 Twinxes and some Funkiki Island Funkeys.

Some Funkeys that cannot be found in stores here are: Sprout Wasabi Bones Fallout Glub Stitch Tiki Xener and Vroom! It makes me sad that because of Freak Ebay people I need to buy from the people on Ebay whole stole it from me in the first place! Hopefully the dreamstates will have better and more variant stocks of all the funkeys!

yeah that really really does stink i totally agree it never takes 5months for us to get movies or anything else so why funkeys what i takes a few extra days in customs and to fly or shp them here not 6 months come on mattel and hows about stopping one or two people at stores taking all the hard to get stock and selling on ebay funny how a) funkeys not much other than normal and rare could be found in stores unless a staff member put it aside before the other ones claimed it and the same pretty much with Funkiki and now Speed racer you cant find a single Very Rare as they are being taken so much for there only being like one per box look on ebay sellers here have excess of Very rare items and thats why as the newer series are coming out the older series arent lowering in prices like in the USA they are sticking with the massive high prices its ridiculous how are little kids suppose to compete with greedy money hungry grabbing Adults who hoard every single funkey i VR especially they get their paws on. I personally was going to sell them on ebay when i found them and told my daughter nah we will leave them there for some poor lil kids who sees them.
I dont mind if they sold them at reasonable prices but i seen some poor saps paying $92 for a black glub thats a joke

I have a couple things to complain about!
Last night, I accidently left my Funkey standing in Funkeystown after I signed on. I had over 1,200 coins. I walked away & forgot about it, I don't have the gem for that Log-in name, so the henchmen must have just kept coming for hours. When I finally went back to it, I had 0 coins left. Wouldn't it make more sense for the Henchmen game to just stop and wait for the player to come back?
My second complaint is that there appears to be no way to delete buddies on the Chat buddy list if the buddy isn't on-line. It does get full at some point & then you can't add anymore. I called Mattel about that & at that time they didn't think there was a way to remove the names. The problem is that some of the names might not ever come back on if they are using a different name or just don't play anymore. (I hope that makes sense....if not, I'll try to explain it differently)

I would like to thank this game for teaching my kids some invaluable lessons of life. 1. As in the game we fight the tyranny of Master Lox and his restriction of travel and freedom so do we in life fight against the tyranny of oppression, the loss of freedom. A good lesson but then .... 2. Along comes the little update that is 3.2. As my kids played to get gems and free the funkeys, this update made it very specific as to what games were to be played by which funkey even when unlocked in the crib. Why bother unlocking the games? In essence the update restricted the play of the game, Mattel/Radica became Master Lox. This is the lesson of actions speak louder than words. On one hand Mattel/Radica speaks of freedom for funkeys and then with the action of update 3.2 ...well you get the picture. My kids have not played the game since. And I have not bought any more funkeys since.

Oh I am so sorry KT to hear your pain - I do understand - I did hate to find out that the 3.2 enabled kids who shared, traded, played someone with a multi & got games in crib & could not play anymore - not really fair to those kids - I am sorry but being a mom & having 3 kids who play (now I have been playing 3 weeks now) - not sure how old your kids are but it is really fair to take the game away from your kids on your own opinions? - I am not undermining your opinions was just my view (if your kid/kids share funkeys with others then ya'll must be close enough to share until they get everything?)

hm well Im not really sure what I feel about the update and the situation. I guess they just really want people to start buying more of them funkeys.

Since the multi packs I do have some extras I would be willing to send just for shipping costs

Post by KT on Oct 15, 2008 23:07:15 GMT -5
Well they are old enough to know what is fair and what is not. When people "say" one thing but "do" another. They made the decison to not play since they, like many people, do not like it when the rules change. Especially when that change only seems to benefit those that made the change. As for the game it sits and waits, they can start it up whenever they wish, perhaps they will grow curious with future releases. I have heard some possible directions that may be taken in regards to future updates, and that some of the side effects of 3.2 were not intended. We'll see where the road goes. At the moment they are using the funkeys to play some odd sort of checkers.

Well you can now play with different funkeys on other games, I guess they changed that already they probably saw that they were going to lose a lot of people.

Please would everyone Email Mattel and ask them to send out more stock. The more people contact them the more the chance of them doing anything! No offence to those in the US, we cannot even get KMart/ Toysrus/ Walmart etc. to ship to us! and stores here have only got series 1 and Funkiki island, trying to find anything else without getting ripped off is impossible and a very stupid way to run a company! helplineuk@mattel.com email address for those in uk, please everyone elsewhere and UK , please Email!!!! Thankyou
