When you buy mugs to display, do you buy one or several of the same kind? |

As a fellow Milwaukee resident, I think any tiki mug discovery is rare and amazing. I only own one green mug so far, but I bought that in Vegas. |

I wish I had better news for you. I believe Marshalls sells some, but I think it's the same stuff as Target. Sometimes Dollar Tree has some mugs, but they are more tropical themed than tiki. My wife found a very cool unmarked mug at a rumage a while ago, but it was clearly dropped and glued, so now it just holds incense. Try and make it up to the Pa'ina next month. There will be lots of goodies to get there, and it's not that far of a drive. Look for the thread in the Tiki Events post. If you (or anybody for that matter), finds other places to buy mugs in the SE Wisconsin area, please let me know. |

Troy! It took a while in my town but eventually the flea markets and thrift-stores started getting some authentic classics. The first cool mugs I got were online -- not ebay, but S&H nontheless. That was somewhere around 60 mugs ago and they're still 2 of the cooler mugs in my collection. Overall, I've found the prices (even with S&H) on ebay to be pretty reasonable considering the rarity and demand for some items. |
