I know this seems like a strange subject for 13 year old post on a form but, it may just be down here in Florida I was wondering where you guys are do the Mattel Products either late or too early, or do they come on time? Close down here in Florida the Funkiki Island series came two months too early! And speed racer series heat target and Wal-Mart a week ago! I don't mind if the early but the only problem is there no updates so I have 20,000,000 Funkeys that I can use or I have the update but no Funkeys 4 it! If anyone else is experiencing this where they live please write back unless I really want to know if it's the state of Florida or Mattel. (I know some of you guys down in Australia and New Zealand really don't get funkeys for a long time, which I think is very wrong I would only consider that another problem Mattel has not issued your products fully all over the world. Also wondered why does it take so long for them to get you guys? If you know thanks -luli

Well here the (Australia) our biggest problem i have found is a) USA gets first then when ever they decide its released here.
b)Mattel tell us they have been released in stores suh as Kmart, Big W, Toys R Us and Target etc but when you contact these guys they say they do not know as they havent been informed but have told reps they are interested
c) the stock actually is sitting in these stores warhouses but they ship it to their stores that sell by the truck loads first so if we are a lower selling store we may never get any or if we do its the crap they cant sell anywhere else
d)contact your local wholesaler and see if they will sort through mixed boxes and sell you any you need eg might fing one VR trixie in a mixed box of 200 speed racers according to mattel they dont order them by product code just box full of Funkey - Funkiki - Speedracer etc so its like a luck dip they seem to suggest.
e) They dont care if you finish your collection and cant complete it or cant get into certain areas as long as they have as much money the can skim from you as possible....
PS dont get me wrong i love the game and yes am still hunting them all down but this is the impression i have gotten from anyone who i have delt with from their customer service i have had other people tell me of better experiences even a few people i know around here have had a package sent before the funkiki and speedracer was sent for being valued customers but i have yet to plug that line at them i might call them and see what they say there guess the only thing is another brick wall or i hit the Jackpot and score a much hard to find never know.

yes well i have found out that the closer u r tothe main headquarters the quicker u get them, im in Florida and i usualy here robyn get them first and then i'll find them about a week or 2 later. no i no that they have to ship them down here but i mean come on!!!! heres a list of things that have gone wrong: 1. the normal funkeys, part1, never restock i can fid the exsact same pakage in the same place, 3 weeks later!!! 2.they don't take good care of the funkeys durring shipping, 2 of mine won't work cuz some worker droped them( when u shake them u can here a little rattle inside) 3.the funkiki island ones came 4 WEEKS EARLY!!!!!! not that i have a problem wiht that itz just that the update haddent come out yet so i had 8 funkeys in packages that were just sitting there colectting dust!!!!! 4. the speed racers came late!!!! not like 1 or 2 weeks late a MONTH late!!!!! Mattel can do us all a favor.... BE CONSISTANT!!!! send things out on time and make sure that ALL countries get them!!!!!! its no fair that wench05 has to hunt and hunt when we have them just sitting oin the selves not being bought!!! it just ticks me off

and there is one more thing I want to complain about... STOP MAKING SO MANY GOSH DANG TWINXES!!! got that out finally because there are always like 232432 twinxes and maybe 1 lotus or scratch... most people get them from starters in the first place so they dont really need to make many at all

The stores by me have a total overload of chat funkeys, they don't have as many any more, but they would just stuff the shelves full. But about the Funkiki Island, I have managed to find all of them in stores except one, VR Flurry. I have actually never seen it before, anywhere, although I know someone by me who claims to have seen one. I am not sure if it is my luck or what, but hope your luck is better than mine!
