I don’t think they are worth it. I’m sending mine back. Once you go color you can’t go back.

Check bed bath and beyond. They supposedly have decent clearance deals.
As far as hue white, I'd say meh. I'm not big on color, but the white ambiance sure beats just one white temperature.

Best Buy is selling this exact starter kit for $100. Being that you’re basically either getting a free bridge, or 4 free white bulbs, I would consider the deal to be worth $60. That being said, when I get my several packages in, I plan on taking them to Walmart and showing them my email receipt which clearly states that I purchased color & white ambiance bulbs. Then I will open the packages in front of them and show them that I was sent the incorrect item. I’m hoping Walmart will honor the original purchase, even though the seller is a 3rd party selling on their website.

I am hoping to do the same thing. Mine aren't showing to be delivered until Wednesday so let me know how it works for you if you get to it before I do.

My order was cancelled this morning. They said that Walmart made a mistake in the listing and they were cancelling the order due to the Walmart error.

When did you place your initial order? I placed mine last Thursday, and I’ve yet to receive any new email, other than the order confirmation.

Ordered them Saturday night

I just received my email from TechRabbit after I called WalMart Saturday. This is their message. I've responded and am waiting for the next move. Stay tuned.

I received my today too. They were white. Walmart said they are kicking me over to TechRabbit. They've been very good in the past. Let's see how this plays out.

I can tell you exactly how it will play out:
I just received my shipping label to send it back.

I got ping ponged back in forth between TechRabbit and Walmart. After escalating it, Walmart said they may price match but I’d have to write a physical letter to corporate. I just dropped the letter off. They said it could take two or three weeks. I’m curious to see how this goes. If it was one pack I’d send them back but I bought 8 packs. I figured it’s worth the shot.

Wondering the same thing. I get the appeal of the color and may invest in some in the future, but surely those with 20,30 + bulbs dont have color for every one right?
I have 22 bulbs. They're all color. And a lightstrip for bias lighting behind the TV. Hue junkies ABSOLUTELY do get color lights everywhere. I have color in the bathrooms. The womenfolk love it when they're chilling in the bath with some music and relaxing.

Same. Not exactly surprised but it would have been nice.

Ah, got a cancellation email. Thought I might make the cut, oh well.

My "signature required" didn't arrive today as expected. Hope they didn't recall their packages. Still holding out hope the signature is required because they sent color bulbs (3 packs) worth over $300

I’m taking the $10 refund.
That means I get the bridge and four white lights for $49.99... no taxes or shipping. I’ll put the white lights in the last places I’ll upgrade to color. (Either Guest rooms, Front porch, or guest bathrooms)
I’ll buy color lights from here on out to work with the bridge I now own. Best Buy has colored lights on sale for $39 a bulb.
**the guy at Best Buy said the Hue bridges can now control 150 lights.

All the lights dimmed, she laughed and kept playing on her ipad, oh well.

No dice on color.

Walmart promised me that techrabbit would send me what I ordered in my chat with the representative. I have the chat saved so let’s see what techrabbit has to say tomorrow.
