United Airlines Tikis - Collecting Tiki

I actually listed it on ebay a few years back (in a moment of financial weakness)& it was only about $8 short of the reserve, so I didnt sell it. Now I'm so glad it didnt sell. It is truly one of my fave tiki items. The big 30" version is so fantastic that I have no problem understanding why people will pay so much for them. I've tried to talk many a travel agency into selling their large version, along with the big menehune with the hawaiian shirt with no luck at all. They seem to drag them out for seasonal travel promotion. I'd be inclined to get one if it was $100 or under, but I'm a cheap bastard.
