Why not try giving them a Valentine's Day Furby? This little one has been named as www.everythingvalentine.com's #2 big Valentine's Day gift for kids, and who can blame them? Also, Tiger has loads of other Valentine's Day Gift ideas like Furby Cards that are in stores now, so if your loved one is a Furby Fan, that may be the easiest way to go. And if they don't like it, there's nothing stopping you from taking it back for yourself ;) He is also #2 on KBToys list of hot Valentines gifts this year! This is a limited edition Furby, so even if you're not giving it as a gift but you are a collector you should get out and get one for yourself, I have a feeling they will be going fast! [There isn't a whole lot of news this week. Has something to do with it being after the holidays, so it's a slower time of the year for toy sales. If you happen to know of a peice of news that might be of interest to us, feel free to send it along! We always appreciate reader suggestions and input, thank you.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Electronic Furby website updates -Gizmo Section Yes I finally got the Gizmo section of my site online. It's not major or extensive. The best part is the sound files, which anyone with or without a Furby should enjoy, especialy the chat ones! This section isn't likely to get too big, it seems not many people have Gizmo or like Gizmo? http://www.mimitchi.com/html/fgizmo.htm -The Poll The website Furby Poll has been updated! It's an interesting one :) It only takes two clicks to complete, so if you'd be so kind as to fill it out, the URL is: http://www.mimitchi.com/html/fpoll.htm -The Poll Results The bi-weekly poll results can all be viewed on a second page, if you didn't know. Some of them are rather interesting! You are even welcome to submit your own bi-weekly poll question suggestions to me, if you would like! http://www.mimitchi.com/html/fpoll2.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Letters to the Editor: Nothing this issue, but if you have a question you'd like posted send it along to: MAILTO:"capngo@earthlink.net" and we'll have it answered as soon as possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -Furby Reader Stories Okay, so maybe you're not sure what stories we'd like to hear?

Here is a true story I wrote back when Furby is just getting out there on the market and he was in high demand, when he was the holiday hit. Your story doesn't have to be as long as this, but it gives you an idea: http://www.mimitchi.com/html/fadven.htm Do you have a special furby story you'd like to share with our other readers?

While it is usually heard correctly the spellings seem to vary from "tohlo", "toelou", and "tolu". The correct spelling however is "Toh-Loo". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -Fun Furby Facts Need a place to discuss topics on your mind?
