Remember there are only 50 copies and not all of those will be available, my closest friends would kill me if they didn't get one! I've made a few 'MAHALO' versions for the main contributors so that the 50 aren't all gone before I get to offer them to you guys. The Limited Edition version comes in a special card topped bag and sealed within are: POCKETIKI Magazine #2 with Colour 'Hula Honey' centrefold courtesy of WINKYTIKI Promo HULAPUNK 7 song CD Limited edition of 50 numbered copies 8 'BRITIKI' promotional postcards The new issue has articles on: MAHIKI London's latest, celebrity stuffed tiki bar! PACIFIC ENCOUNTERS - an article on the world's largest exhibition of Polynesian Art held here in Britain last year, and the effect of British and European involvement in collecting during the 18th and 19th century. Of course, those crazy Germans - HULAPUNK! HOT ROD TIKI and their hot tiki themed motors! Last year's LONDON LUAU - pics galore! WINKYTIKI - Hula pin-ups aplenty with an awesome 'Aloha Boys' centrefold - HOT! Wendy Cevola & Gecko's DA BLOODY MAORI severed head mug! Tiki Racer's review of the ALOHA WAVE LOUNGE in Prague! Three great competitions to WIN a MAHIKI or a ZOMBIE tiki mug, a vintage European tiki mug and...buy the magazine and find out! Plus...much, much more!!! As per the premiere issue there are 60 pages (inc. covers) so you'll have plenty to read as well as great images to look at! We are obviously going to print a regular copy which should be out pretty soon. The limited copies are produced to kick start the the production of the regular copies. Sadly we don't have the economies of scale to be more efficient. Anyway, when you hold any POCKETIKI Magazine you know it has been created and actually put together by Trader Jim personally! It's a lot of hard graft, but I think it's worth it. The available mags will go eBay and a few will go to local events here in Good Ol' Blighty, I think this is the only way I can manage the selling of them. It has worked well for distribution of POCKETIKI #1! I have a few of the limited edition 'LONDON LUAU 2006 launch copies' of the first mag around somewhere, so I'll try to find them and put them up as well. Maybe I could do a 'matched pair of numbers' auction? That would be cool! Anyway, they should be finished for next weekend all going well so I'll post again when we list them. They will go on at £12.50 as they have cost a lot to produce. Forget the hours and hours of time that has gone into it, I enjoy the 'Wonderful World of Tiki' so you get that FREE! As well as the magazine and its colour pages, I have had to buy cds, sleeves, labels, bags, produce some postcards, card backed envelopes etc. So I think that £12.50 (plus postage) is a good price for a great read, look and listen!..and a possible future collectable. Only you can decide whether you want one or not! The regular version will not be bagged, have a cd or postcards and will be £3.50 (plus postage) like last time. I've had great feedback from all of you who bought issue #1 - Thanks, it means alot!! I must be doin' something right at last!! Had to happen...just a long time comin'! Thanks also to everyone who has asked about subscriptions. As we have said we (I) do this for the fun of it (doesn't always seem like fun at the time) and I don't need to put myself under any more pressure to get the next copy out or indeed upset you guys by dragging my heels. No subscriptions - The next one is ready when it's ready! Also I am not taking paid adverts, but again, thanks for asking. Any advertising in POCKETIKI is generally in the form of an article or if I like something so much, I just gotta tell everyone about it! Anyone wanting to stock POCKETIKI let us know. Thanks for your 'staying power' and interest - Trader Jim (Make mine...a best seller? Ha, ha).
