Aloha, yeah we been going around & around on the Limited edition Body Glove Tiki-Mug Set price for a while. Since they are "Body Glove" tiki-mugs, that means we had to work in the Body Glove royalty. Then the Wyland Kona Ocean Front Gallery has to have a little $ for their swanky overhead... and these are a very limited edition, so that makes 'em higher in demand... and I told Holden Westland at Tiki Farm to make "'em really super awesome greaty-great" - and he went ALL OUT! No expense spared!
I mean, think about this, how often does the oldest, still Manhattan Beach family owned, surf brand in the WORLD have it's 60 YEAR anniversary? When? When? WHEN?! ONLY ONCE! This is Americana Surf History! We HAD to make them insanely awesome, so... yes... they are at a little higher price point then the rather plain looking tiki-mugs that are mass-produced that you find in the discount bins of the cheap gift section of the ABC stores or Hilo Hatties.

Er -hurmph. HOWEVER, But fear not my Tiki Tribe! Now the good news! Not only did I work hard to make sure you'd get high quality for your coconut$! Each and every mug will come with an autograph card: hand-signed by the tiki-artist who designed it. (ah, that would be me) So even if you cannot make it to the big swanky event in Oct and get your mugs signed by the Body Glove folks, and meet the Body Glove Sea Creature in person, you WILL get my autograph (if you want it or not!) PLUS, ... and be quiet about this, (shhhhhh) ... I think I got the gallery to charge the same price for all the mugs even though one is EXTRA big gulp sized. It'll still be same price as the two regular sized ones - so the sea creature is not a larger price even though it is a larger mug.

Hope that helps, BUT call the gallery to make sure, I just saw them yesterday and dropped off a bunch of mug info, and we got the names of the mugs and got the prices finalized. Big aloha, and thanks for your interest in my work.
