They might have some of them, and also have others that I have not ordered yet, but then they also do not sell all the styles they use. And they sell the ones that are for sale for a pretty penny, too. Probably not as much as I do, but my shipping and customs is higher than the actual product, so I make less than 50% profit. I am getting them straight from the manufacturer, who demands an initial minimum order of twelve per style. That means you would have to invest a lot, and resell to the very limited European Tiki Mug collector market. I doubt that the Tabou Tiki folks will want to deal with that, they have a lot of work on their hands already. Maybe we can meet in Spain in Spring 2005 when I plan a 14 day expedition to shoot the bars and mugs for my "Aloha Amigo- Tiki in Spain" book.
