Ever buy something you didn't necessarily want, until you found out it's tiki? - Collecting Tiki

They were both the same, white ceramic faux stone finish about 10" tall maybe. I passed on them, because they didn't really look like the tikis I normally buy (i.e. not mugs). I did note the name though--stamped "Strikow" on the bottom. So I come home, look them up here and on Ooga Mooga, and turns out they are in BOT, and have the Big Bro's seal of approval. Now I reaaaly want them!! The shop won't open again till Thursday. All I can do is stare though the darkened window of the closed shop and console myself that at least I can see they are still there. The fact that these are collectible has made them much more attractive to me. I feel like a bit of a hypocrite. [ Edited by: ManFromT.I.K.I. 2008-04-01 13:59 ]
