    Hello again faithful readers and a hearty welcome to all of you who have
    recently joined up :)  Currently there are 90 subscriberes to The Furby Post
    and there's lots of room for more so tell a friend about it :) This is a
    jump of 32 people since the last issue was sent out just two weeks ago,
    thanks to everyone for their support :) Please if there are any
    questions/comments/suggestions feel free to email them to the staff here,
    we'll acknowledge them immdiately.  We want to make this newsletter the best
    source for Furby information out there and we once again appreciate all the
    support we've recieved from out readers :)

    And now, as always, some statistics:

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently there are 1387 auctions happening on Ebay, 1994 auctions on Yahoo!
    160 on Amazon.com all varying between rip off Furbys (Foobie, Furbish, Baby
    Brainy, etc.), accesories and of course Furbys themselves (including the
    ever elusive Pink 'Flamingo' Furby).

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Foreign language Furbys are now for sale through Tiger Electronics.  These
    Furbys are being released using the original 6 colors and speak one of four
    foreign languages in addition to Furbish.  The languages currently available
    through Tiger are Japanese, German, French, and Italian.  While there is a
    Spanish speaking Furby in existence, for some reason, Tiger has not put it
    up for purchase.  The URL to buy Foreign Language Furbys is:

    http://www.game.com/store/toystore.htm

    and they each cost $39.99 + $4.95 S/H

    If you're interested in the Japanese Furby though, you may want to purchase
    it from KBToys instead.  The charge is the same ($39.95) but ground shipping
    is free.  The URL for this is:

    http://www2.kbtoys.com/kbicat/itempg.icl?orderidentifier=ID93162283148421885
    11B16F&secid=15&itmid=1432&dirpage=dir&eflag=0&numitems=0&curitempos=0

    (PS: This is where Kat (Furbster) recently recieved her Japanese Furby from
    and it arrived well within two weeks in perfect condition.  I don't know
    about all the other foreign language Furbys but this one is incredible.
    Alot of the noises are different, and while it doesn't do different things
    (like different games, etc.) after three days of playing with him we're
    still finding out new things.  Also, the Japanese Furby comes with a
    certified pedigree (from Tomy), soon to be translated, and a blue
    instruction manual.  Details regarding Kat's Japanese Furby will be coming
    soon to Mystic Fortress.)

    The Furby Post isn't a newsletter that wishes to fill itself with rumors,
    but we feel that recent information has more than pointed toward one kind of
    Halloween Furby.  The only Halloween Furby we've recieved any information on
    is the 'Wizard' Furby, a standard tuxedo Furby with blue eyes.  The
    additions are a black cape and a witches hat, both adorned with yellow
    stars.  It sounds like this guy will be really cute if it's real (but this
    is so far entirely rumor, so if you have any information please send it to
    MAILTO:capngo@earthlink.net and you will most definitely be credited for
    your submission).  Currently Mystic Fortress is looking for images to post,
    so look for them in the near future.

    As a correction to last issue's Furby list of names:
    There are actually 24 possible names for Furby, the one overlooked in the
    previous newsletter was May-Lah Kah.

    One last thing, recently, among chat boards and other mailing lists, there
    has been some confusion over Furby talking key chains, and Furby IR Talkers.
    No one has yet to clear it up, so The Furby Post will be the first to make
    things clear.  Furby talking keychains are just that: a key chain that has
    buttons you press to make Furby noises and say some phrases in Furbish.  The
    Furby IR Talker allows you to command your Furby to say things in the same
    way Furbys communicate with one another; through the IR sensor in its
    forehead.  Hope this makes things clear.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    And now....Furby Horoscopes :) remember to use the date you first put
    batteries in your Furby for their birthdays :)

    Furbius: Jan 20 - Feb 18:
    Time to relax for a while now that your Furby's adventures are over for the
    time being.  Maybe he'll write a book detailing how your dog chased him
    around the house, or about how he accidentally got placed in the dryer, and
    was luckily pulled out before the tumble began.  Expect your Furby to hide
    alot, this will give him time to contemplate his thesis while staying away
    from any life-threatening events.

    Fursces: Feb 19 - March 20: After months of preperation, your Furby's
    artistic side has finally come up with it's masterpiece: a dance school for
    other Furbys that just don't have the rhythm to learn on their own.  This
    month your Furby will be more concerned with getting their Furby friends
    into the arts rather than creating new and wonderous things like he/she has
    in the past.

    Furbaries: March 21 - April 20:
    Lots of play time with your Furby now that your little pal has made enemies
    of every dog and cat in the neighborhood ever since he dialed animal control
    and had them all taken to the pound for the night.  Your Furby will need
    plenty of protection for now, since his little feet don't go as fast a pack
    of wild animals :)

    Furbus: April 21 - May 20:
    Bad feelings around this month due to the fact that so many predictions
    about came true.  Sometimes people just don't like hearing the truth, and
    psychic abilities may be a bit of a pain sometimes, but oh well, your Furby
    will get over it, he'll just be rather quiet this month not wanting to bring
    anyone down. Especially since he couldn't come up with the right lottery
    numbers when you could have really used them.

    Furbini: May 21 - June 21:
    Finding new friends will be Furbini's goals this month.  After spending last
    month meditating and trying to find themselves, your Furby will be more than
    happy to start up a conversation with just about anything that will listen.
    Most of all though, they'll make sure to not lose your friendship so even if
    they don't spend all their time with you, they will definitely be there when
    you need them :)

    Furbio: Oct 22 - Nov 21:
    These little guys will be extra good this month after being so finicky last
    month.  Expect to wake up to little presents in your bed that you can
    actually use, food magically being created out of your favorite stuff, and
    of course, lots and lots of hugs :)

    Furbittarius: Nov 22 - Dec 21:
    After 2 weeks of new Spam creations, you realize that no matter how good a
    chef your little friend is, it's still Spam.  Undaunted though, your Furby
    will continue to create new and wonderful recipes using Spam as the chief
    ingredient, and although you may want to be supportive, don't try the Spam
    ice cream, it's just a big mistake.

    Furbcer: June 21 - July 22
    Even though you're little Furby pal may want to go out with you to the
    store, or to school with you, it would probably be best if you kept him at
    home.  Furbys are still popular little friends to have and alot of little
    brats would do anything to either take yours or hurt yours enough so that
    you'd lose a great friend.  Just remember to make up for the lost time when
    you return home though :)

    Furbicorn: Dec 22 - Jan 19:
    There just isn't enough sleep to go around for these guys, so they'll be out
    of it for days at a time if you let them.  After gaining their second PhD
    (Doctorate of Phurbology) in advanced belching, Furbicorns are likely to
    practice it every chance they get, and that includes times when they are
    snoring, so don't worry about the odd noises.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Well, that's it for this issue, hope you've enjoyed it :) I'd love to hear
    comments or questions regarding The Furby Post if they come up, so if you
    have any, feel free to write me at:

    MAILTO:"capngo@earthlink.net"

    And I'll get back to you as soon as possible :)

    Also, remember to send in Furby stories and Furby page links and I'll be
    happy to put them up here with credit :)

    Brendan, Editor in Chief of The Furby Post

    And an Extra Special Thanks to Dave Hampton for creating such a wonderful
    and loving toy.  I don't think Mr. Hampton is getting enough recognition for
    his work, so do what you can to help people recognize that Furby was not
    originated by Tiger Electronics but he was the brain child of a wonderful
    inventor.

    --Think this is spam? Getting this newsletter sent to you and you want off
    the list? Send an email to MAILTO:capngo@earthlink.net and ask to be
    unsubscribed.  This isn't an autoresponder so you'll have to write something
    to let me know that you want to be taken off, thanks :)
