It took three hours to sell out, and everyone who was there at 8 a.m. when the "line" opened got a mug, so it's not exactly like a busload of non-TCers came in and swept them all up. I only count 6 people who have never posted before Tiki Central before this thread, which is frankly less than I thought we'd see. And really, what makes someone a TCer -- is someone who has posted 15 times in the past month less or more of a TCer than someone who has posted 5 times over 4 years?

That said, it is disappointing. Despite Tiki Central being a huge part of my life, despite having at least a passing interest in tiki mugs, despite loving Chongolio's design and Stuckie's work in making it reality, I chose to not get an 'Ohana Hut, because I wanted to make sure that one more Tiki Centralite got one.

I am disappointed in those who chose to make their post in this thread their introduction to Tiki Central.

But overall, it is still a beautiful mug, and despite a few bumps, it still stands for many of the wonderful things I love about Tiki Central, and I'm happy to see they are headed soon to the homes of many people who, like me, love Tiki Central. That it took a nice, comfortable three hours to sell keeps me from feeling that anyone truly missed out.
