Was at the Trader again tonight. Asked about the new Shipwreck barrels. Interesting response: they actually DO have some. BUT they are not yet selling or using them.

Apparently, they received one random box unexpectedly recently. They called TF and even the Farm was not sure why they were sent just the one box of mugs. Anyway, it seems an innocent skipper opened the box and started using them, which was how it was discovered. So there may be a few lucky folks out there actually in possession of the 2nd edition Trader Sam's barrel mug, but who don't even realize it.

Once Trader Sam's completely runs through their remaining stock of the 1st edition mugs, they'll switchover to the new greenish-blueish glazed one.

Also of interest, while Trader Sam's await a replacement shipment of Uh-Oa bowels, they are using the new 32oz Clamshell vessel that Tiki Farm recently released, which is pretty cool. I kinda like the shake up (even though it was unintentional.)
