Mooneyes Limited edition tiki mug

The new Mooneyes limited edition Tiki Mug by Tiki Farms is now available at Mooneyes' website. It's kind of cool if you are into big eyed Tiki's and it's worth a look:

My first try at a link so use:

http://www.mooneyesusa.com

search for tiki and it is the Tiki Moon Mug.

As a lover of mooneyes, and of tiki, these babies are on my shopping list. Budget be damned!

They've got 2 colors, green and yellow, both cool. But, the yellow's limited to only 30. Great deal for $30. Thanks for the heads up, Tikisgrl.

Done both colors added..

I've got the Tiki Door locks on my VW so I had to get at least one mug to match - why not BOTH? Plus my bug is green and white...

thanks for update!!

ROCKIN'

GOt 'em both and the Shifter that matches them. It's gonna be the coolest Honda element for 4 blocks.

Thanks for the heads-up! I just placed an order.

Just wanted to update everyone & apologize. First I have to apologize. I didn't notice that I was posting in the wrong category until it was too late. I'm sorry, this actually belongs in the Collecting category. I have nothing to do with Mooneyes just saw the mug and wanted it. The update part is The Yellow Tiki Moon Mug is gone already. I hope everyone got a chance to get one. Once again sorry for misplacing this post!

Tikisgrl -- you did initially post this in Tiki Collecting, and it got U-Modded to be moved to Tiki Marketplace. Items for sale generally belong in Tiki Marketplace, regardless of who posts them -- Tiki Collecting is more for talking about tiki finds. It's a blurry line sometimes.

I was being careful so I was a bit confused!!! In any case they are cool mugs & I can't wait to get mine!!! Hmm blurry lines... sounds like a cool name for a drink out of a brand new Tiki mug!

Whaaaa !!!! I so want it . My wife would kill me if I bought it now that we have booked our trip to FL.

Just when I thought I was done buying mugs for awhile along come Mooneyes and like some kind of post-hypnotic suggestion kicked in I pulled out my credit card and assumed the position (went into doggy submission). The next thing y'know I'll be shellin' out for a mug that looks like an angry woodpecker with a cigar in his beak!

Today I sent this message to Tiki Farm and Mooneyes.
Any one else get duped?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hello guys,

Please explain to me what is the deal?
I ordered 2 of the yellow Mooneyes Tiki Mugs for $30.00. Limited edition of 30 !!!
Today I received two yellow Mooneyes mugs, numbered 271 and 286 of 300 !!.
I feel I have been duped. Is this false advertising.
Check the link on Tiki Central

The forum you are referring too(tiki Central) is not related to our corporation.

We did not advertise falsely.

MY REPLY:

MoonEyes,

Excuse me. I did see your advertisement. Are you calling me a liar? Also my wife saw it. Are you also calling her a liar? It did say limited edition of 30. I used Tiki Central as proof as to other witnesses to the fact that you did offer a limited edition of 30 of the yellow. If you have a loop hole in you advertisement, I apologise.
What was it? Only 30 offered to the first who bought, and offer another 270, in small one point type? I think you need to review your historical records regarding this ad. I plan on doing a historical search on cached pages to prove you wrong. I will also solicit other witness on Tiki Central who did see your ad. Tiki Centralites were probable your largest buyers.

Sincerely,

Rick Whitt

Again, tiki central people unite for the cause of limited edition Tiki Mugs.
Where will it end? Comming soon, Artist Editions, Carver editions, Glazer editions, Bubble Wraper editions????

I am now light headed from all the possibilities.

I don't think that Tikifarm every sold these mugs on their website, so they didn't do a write up for the mug. THe link at the top onf the page is for Mooneyes usa, which is the company selling the mugs and the ones would did the write up for them. I believe, that those mugs are Mooneye's mugs just made by Tikifarm.

The thing that I can't get over it that they are selling a bunch on Ebay and they say that they come from Japan.

I posted right after ordering that the yellow mug was an edition of 30. I could have been mistaken, but it seems others also saw it advertised that way, too. Still haven't received it, and I look forward to resolving this enigma.

I do not hold Tiki Farms responsible in any way for this mess. They are just processing a work order from MoonEyes. I just want to keep them informed. I love Tiki Farms and all they have done. I love Holden, Smogbreather et al.

But Mooneyes... I will continue this conversation later in another post.

Love Love Love that Tiki Farms.

I agree it was a limited edition I checked my receipt again but could not find any information regarding the amount of the yellow ones available. However looking over the post I agree that is was 30.

In any case at least you got a mug. Has anyone else been charged or received one?

Tikisgrl

Oh & I have nothing to do with Mooneyes USA I just thought that it was a cool mug!!! & I agree this isn't about the producer of the mug it's about the seller!! Tiki Farms is great not a single bad word about them!!!

[ Edited by: Tikisgrl 2005-12-15 13:35 ]

my understanding from the beginning was there were 300, but only 30 for sale on the us site. they are still available from mooneyes japan. i've ordered from them a few times with no problems. bullet Link to Google translation of Japanese webpage

*As the magnetic cup of the beer and the tropical drink using also decorating in the room, the OK!

The Japanese limitation sale [ 300 ]. Tag attachment of serial number entering. It is the ƒeƒBƒL firm corporation make TIKI magnet which the GET would like to do by all means a コレクターズアイテム.*

Well, I cannot see why there'd be any confusion.

It makes perfect sense, too. As in the way reading to one may permission see. Such have restriction soon to find many saving until the day sales inevitable. Happy time to feel sunshine with generally fewer simple ways, by all guises.

Now, about the name, "Mooneyes"?... Liam Gallagher got into some trouble for about the same. Stupid Limey poser!

As one tells loudly may have sought against charm,
midnite... (and yes, I get it, it's a Shag original, duh!)

I have not seen anything from mooneyes, I did buy car stuff from them before and there was no issues. I'm hoping this does not go the way of the APE mug (only about a year wait) but either way I can wait. My card has not been charged yet and BOB from Mooneyes sent me an email saying it was coming but with no delivery date. I guess stay tuned!!!!

I got nuthin'

my mugs came today. i already had one from japan. http://www.ooga-mooga.com/cgi-bin/all/mug.cgi?mode=view&mug_id=839&ind_mug_id=2699

Now you say that it's "limited to "MUCH LESS" than 300??
Where? "$30"... 30 ... 300 each. I reviewed the posts... where is it Tiki Central? Is it now 30000 each or 3,000,000 each
I have no time for this (check the time of this post - I just came home from work)
Holden

At the time we ordered the mugs, the Mooneyes website (USA) listed them at $25 for the green ones (limited edition of 300) and $30 for the yellow ones (limited edition of 30). The yellow ones are no longer listed on their website.

Paying the extra $5 for the yellow one seemed justified if it was going to be a more rare mug.

The mugs are cool, but we feel that it was false advertising.

It's OK, we'll get over it, life is good.

And that is why I love that ookoo. She is The Paul McCartney to my John Lennon.

That Being Said, here is the latest:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I can see about getting you refund if you would like to return the item to us.

I would need your invoice#.

For the record- When the topic was first posted, I went to the Moon Eyes website to check out the mugs. It was listed EXACTLY the way Ookoo Lady stated above. I also remember it saying that the "green" ones would be a production of 300, but only 150 would be sold here in the US, the other 150 would be sold in Japan.

I guess one might ask the question: If both colors were going to be produced in the same quantity, why then was the yellow one listed at $5 more?

Anyway, I decided not to purchase either of the mugs that day. In the end, however, I did end up receiving one of the "green" mugs as a birthday present courtesy of my cool brutha & his awesome wife. Spermy informed me that he received the mugs on Wednesday.

I got an e-mail update as well that mine are one the way.

If I am reading the explanation correctly, now I think I understand. 300 of each were produced and 150 of the green were available in the US and 30 of the yellow. That was not clearly explained at Mooneyes'. So although I have to admit my memory is faulty, thus the far fewer than 300 comment, when explained a little further, I also have no problem accepting that both mugs are from an edition of 300!!

I just got my Mooneyes Tiki Mug in the mail today. These are made by Tiki Farm and only 300 will be made. Each one comes with a numbered box and tag for the mug. They are made to look like to Mooneyes Tiki shift knob they sell. They are real nice. They also have Tiki door Locks and a Tshirt. Just search Tiki on there site. http://www.mooneyesusa.com I figured some of you guys who collect mugs but are not into hot rods wouldn't know about this mug. Scott

Topics merged.

Got mine today. Very nice.

Update.. My mugs showed up packed well - they both look cool. I probably only would have bought the Green - if the yellow didn't seem to be so limited - but I guess it was only limited in USA. Still cool mugs. If some one is in need of a yellow one I mught be able to part with Yellow for a price.

Man thats irritating.

Here's a link that says only 300 of the green will be produced:
http://www.mooneyesusa.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1800

Here's our latest for Mooneyes...

We produced 100 in green (for Japan distribution) & 100 in Yellow (for US distribution). This was a tricky mold to work with. We went back into the seam lines and cut back in the thatching background effect. This is one of my personal favorite recent designs. Made in the USA. Mooneyes design, sculpted by Mr. Squiddly Lipps.

Exclusively available through Mooneyes.
