    In 1998, Furby by Tiger Electronics was one of the hottest toys around, and somehow my grandparents got a hold of 3 for me and my sisters! Apparently an extra was left over, and today we're opening up this new 20 year old furby to see if it still works! I hope you enjoy. As always, don't forget to like and subscribe!

    Nick, Your grandparents had to pick up the furbys in the back office at Walmart, in a paper bag and be escorted out as some people were attacking others in order to get their hands on a new furby! Merry Christmas you all! Nina and Papa were so excited they hit every Walmart in 50 miles to be able to get one for each of their grand-kids.

    I was a very poor kid, all I really wanted was a Furby in the late 90's. My mom saved up money to buy one, but the shelves were empty. I eventually forgot about it and accepted it, I wasn't a brat about it. Then somewhere around 2001, I entered a toy store at the mall. They had one sitting in the clearance isle, I had tears of happiness run down my face. Although I was an early teen, and was with some school friends. They would have made fun of me, if they saw me buy a Furby. I felt embarrassed but I really wanted it, so I had the cashier triple bag it. My friends did ask me what was in the bag, I kept my cool and made up something quick. Since one of them had a Gameboy in their hands, I just said I bought me a Gameboy. Thankfully they fell for it, so I got home and immediately rushed to my room. I was so excited, I rapidly unboxed it and put batteries in the Furby. I played with it and felt so happy, that was the best day of my life. I still have my Furby sitting on a shelf in my closet, I will never let go of it. :'-)

    When they're sneezing it means they're sick and you have to feed and play with them until they stop sneezing. Only then will they behave properly and play the games

    Firstly, you need to restart Furby - gives himself or herself a new name - to stop it from sneezing! Put a pen in the hole and put your finger in its little beak - turn upside down!
    To get it to play games, you have got to do the correct sequence of pet or tickle or hide light or make a sound, but wait until it stops moving and speaking before you do the next bit!
    To get it to say its name, pet its back - after a while, it should make two gentle purrs, then say “Me (name!)” - their name is a Furbish phrase, not Fred or Jim or Bill!

      That's called the me sleep again glitch, you have to keep waking it up until it snaps out of it or you can try holding down it's tounge and turning it upside down and shaking it gently, that should hard reset it but the msa glitch is due to a software glitch so there's no definite cure, you just have to keep waking and hard resetting when it's get into the loop and it will get into it again later

    *facepalm* you REALLY need to learn more about furbys. 1. Your furby has been used before. You don’t need to push down it’s tongue and press the reset button. 2. It sometimes won’t respond to certain actions if it’s sick. Keep feeding it until it stops sneezing. 3. For covering eyes thing, you gotta first wait for the furby to be still, then cover it eyes. Wait until it stops moving and talking. Then cover it’s eyes again and repeat a total of 4 times.
