My dad and I had been searching for these Tiki Diablo pieces like a mad men for the past 2+ weeks. It got to the point where I was stopping at 3 different HDs everyday on my way home from work (Vallejo, Fairfield, Vacaville, CA) and also occasionally dropping by a couple in Sacramento. Luckily my Aunt works at HD Vallejo so we had her stalking the garden dept for clues.

Yesterday (7/14/15) she texted us saying the merchandise had finally arrived. I was stuck at work but my dad was able to shoot over and grab 2 Marq's, 2 Maori's, and 2 CA Ku's. He could only get 5 onto the flatcart after he paid so he left one of the Maori's with the clerk and wheeled the rest out to the van in the parking lot. When he got back the clerk told him it was good thing he had already paid for the Maori, as three people had asked to purchase it while he was gone (maybe 10 minutes). Whew!

Unfortuntely one of the Marq's was cracked in the forehead area which we didn't notice because Dad had bought it boxed. Stopped by Fairfield this morning before work and had to break the shrinkwrap on a pallet to grab a new one as that store hadn't yet unpacked their inventory.

All in all, very happy we were able to each buy a set for our own backyards. Would have hated to have to wrestle my dad for them had there only been one set. Keep searching out there, the treasure is still being revealed.
