Hi everyone,

Long-time lurker, first-time poster and all that. I've spoken with quite a few of you on the phone over the past few weeks / months, and I appreciate the kind words several people have posted here about us. I know that "dealers" are often considered slightly above toe fungus on the food chain, but we do try to be fair in our pricing.

I thought I'd post an update on the Disneyland mug situation. As of this morning, Disneyland had NO mugs - no Teenys, no Totems, no Peles. A very nice CM looked at an on hand / on order report, and said that there are also no mugs in the Disney warehouse.

This is probably why we're all getting conflicting messages from CMs about the status of future shipments - it looks like the additional mugs send to Disney have not appeared on their inventory database.

Some TC members asked us to put together a "waiting list" for Pele mugs, and I know several of you have called us this week because you read that Pele popped up last weekend, yet you didn't get a call from us.

When the mugs appear at Disneyland, they only put out 8-16. When those sell out, often in minutes, that's it until the next shipment from the warehouse. Since we were not standing at the store the second the mugs were unpacked, we didn't get them. Trust me, we didn't have a change of heart and decide to sell them on eBay - we just don't have any.

We are not adding any more names to our "waiting list," and we hope that enough mugs will be released that we can get them to everyone who asked for them. I appreciate your patience - we're at the mercy of Disney's distribution system, so we're keeping our fingers crossed.
