Made all the sweeter by the fact that I found a $10 in the parking lot. Now I wish I had bought 2, as I can't decide if I should put him in the backyard, or keep him in the lounge.

It was shorted.. about 18 inches. I think I bought it for $18-$20 (That included shipping). What really sucks is that we don't have those stores either in Tx. I just wish whoever they are getting them from, Big lots or Target would get them as well.

TE Tangaroa Ed Member Massachusetts Joined: Jul 26, 2004 Posts: 57	TE Tangaroa Ed Posted posted on Sun, May 22, 2005 11:16 AM I picked one up at my local Christmas tree today as well. It's smaller than the one you have, and was a steal at $9.99. They only had the one though. I'll keep checking for other folks if they are interested. The one I found doeesn't weigh a ton and would probably be shippable for like 10 bucks. I need to figure out the upload photo thing...I'll post some pics soon!

I picked up a pair this last weekend. Can't beat the price at $6.99 each. 16" Tall, and the usual plastic/resin material.

It looks like there are at least three different sizes of that guy available from various companies. His squatness gives him more personality than my lanky one. -Tw

He's not really that heavy, btw.
P pappythesailor Tiki Socialite Mass. Joined: Jul 07, 2005 Posts: 1564	P pappythesailor Posted posted on Sat, Apr 22, 2006 4:38 AM Got this guy at the Christmas Tree Shops for $4! Incedentally, the poster on which he's sitting I got a print shop that was going out of business for the princely sum of $2.97 including tax. P.S. This thread should probably be moved to Tiki Marketplace.
