Single Speed Racer UBFunkeys figures are starting to show up now on eBay. Up until now, it's just been the starter set.

The one up right now were put up as 1 day auctions, so they end in less than 24 hours.

The pre-order page for the Speed Racer Funkeys starter set on Amazon has been affected by some IDIOT store trying to sell them for $94.99 + $19.99 shipping.

The new link you should use is this one, which also shows the Target version for $22.99.

If you have accidentally pre-ordered with that other store, CANCEL YOUR ORDER NOW before they rip you off!

The new Speed Racer Funkeys have been reported to be on the shelves at a Toys R Us in Michigan this week. So far they are not on the Toys R Us site. The reports are for Speed Racer starter sets, but no individual Speed Racer Funkeys yet. They are now also just starting to trickle on to eBay. Check out what Speed Racer Funkeys are being sold there now!

I know we're a bit behind on getting this posted thanks to me being sick for almost a week, but...

If you haven't played your Funkeys game since this past Tuesday yet, this may actually still be news to you. The latest update being downloaded to systems all over is for the Speed Racer series coming this spring. As the announcement starts, we are told there is breaking news from "UFUNK News"...



The correspondent "Gabby" joyfully fills us in on the fact that the Royalton Racing Complex is complete and open for business...



It's getting close! Can you smell your money being spent yet? :)

Talk it up here...
