Next time I'm in Frisco, I'm just going to ask the bar tender if he'll sell me one! I just got back from San Fran and spent the last two evenings at TV's. The moai bowls are for sale (ask for a manager - Marco from Austria is who I spoke to). The moai bowls were $40 per Marco. They were also selling skull mugs, coconuts, scorpion bowls and a couple others. I was going to buy a moai bowl (they call it a Tiki Bowl) but instead I talked Marco into selling me one of the carved oil lamps that is the centerpiece of each table! He didn't pocket the money, the piece was charged onto our bill so I know it was legit. If you want one, go and haggle with him. Start around $50 and try to get it around $60. I wish I would've tried to get a set of four dinner plates. The food was outstanding; the drinks were above outstanding. It is a bit of a weird feeling trying to buy current decor from an existing restaurant but the bartenders and other staff were quick to let you know that the management would sell items. Good luck.
