But it would be great to have these available again in time for Disneyland's 50th, and next years re-opening of the Tiki Room...

The folks I spoke with when I ordered my Enchated Tiki Room big fig (which was over 2 and a half weeks ago at this point), said that they'd definitely get more of them in by mid December, so they'd have them available for sale before Christmas. I agree that this seems like a lofty ambition, as sometimes the Disney sales people have passed wrong info onto me and others (like there being absolutely no more Tiki Room big figs in the park, not even display models, when clearly there are display models - yet I can understand them saying this because they're not supposed to sell displays), but the people I spoke to really knew their stock, and they said that the word had been passed on to them about getting more Tiki Romm big figs from their higher ups. And these were people from both the Disneyana shop and the 1-800 DelivEars mail order number. I had to call Disneyana today, to ask about some other order, and while I was on the phone I asked about the Tiki Room big fig. The salesperson put me on the phone with her manager, who said that indeed they would get more in by mid December, and that their target date was December 20. I'm curious as well to see if the price goes up or not. So, yeah, hopefully some more will roll in soon to make it under some lucky TC'ers Christmas Tangaroa Tree!
