I think the BIG black lettered "MADE IN CHINA" lamenated into the bracelet screamed "not collectible". It was like an advertisement, and should have been a removeable sticker. As far as the shirts go, I was suprised they were not sold out either, but the price was higher than the original ticketed $58 "Shag" 40th Anniversary LE shirts from five years back. Although the birds are cute, and a mainstay at the show, I just thought Amanda Visells art should have contained more tiki after the namesake of the attraction. I personally didn't buy an aloha shirt for fear of being called a "ParrotHead"..... :lol: j/k, but it was very Jimmy Looking to me.... just my observations and opinion as to why some stuff didn't sell out.
