So what's the deal here? Was The Bali Hai the first, and Orchids came out with a knock-off, or visa-versa? Or are they 2 differant entities?
I've been eyeing the Bali Hai's for awhile, but the $25 to $35 they've been bringing in is a little too rich for my blood. But this orchids sparked my interest, and it fell under my $20 limit, so, it is mine!
I'm just starting to pick up older mugs, as most of what I have now is current stuff. But I still can't bring myself to pay more than $20 for a single mug, when I know I could pick up 3 or 4 decent new ones I still don't have. Believe me, I want the high end stuff, but for now, I'm quite happy going the "Quantity-vs-Quality" route. Oh well, at least the wife approves. She gave me the thumbs up to go ahead and center on Mugs and Hula Girls as long as my Nodders, Pez, and Action Figure collection goes on the back burner and I relocate them to my Den. Sheeesh!
