mutiny on the bounty. or something like that. I for one am no one's fool. I am officially cancelling my order on monday. I first didn't like how it was a limited edition mug only to come out with a non limited edition mug, only to come out with a super limited edition mug. I think if that's the intent be upfront. I've liked how Munktiki does what it says and deliver on time with their small batches of mugs telling you that there are this many super limited, limited etc. Now that I've said it I hope I'm not forever banned from future tikifarm lmtd edition mugs. Because ebay is a principle thing for me. |

With out down-playing the delay in delivery of the fantastico fabulous super dooper Ape Mug...... Tiki Farm needs to receive props for sticking to Ape's request that these mug be something special... not only is it slow and go making this particular mug, but many, many mugs have been rejected by the Farm to keep the quality consistently very good. A factory, or what ever, will tend to let many items of a run go out sub-par to stay on schedule or budget. The Farm is having non of that. Ape will not either. Thanks for sticking this out........ |

Jinn > Yes, I too think that an offer of good will is in order, as I have been a patient and loyal customer up to this point. Unfortunately I have now lost my faith. What the Farm owes anyone is a quality product. Money has not been given... only hope and dreams of sipping intoxicating concoctions from inconceivable creativity... A big apology however to those wanting for a prompt gift for another, this really sucks....However a quick turnaround on ebay, could wait. |

Ape Mug? Oh that's right, I ordered one of those about 4 months ago. The way I figure it, the longer it takes to get here, the better it will be. When that Mighty MoFo shows up on my doorstep I have no doubt I will weep like a baby at it's exquisite beauty and amazing brilliance. "and I got that goin' for me" - Bill Murray (Caddyshack) |

Ape mug #168 arrived today in perfect condition and looking beeeeyoootiful! The best part is that I'd forgotten that I'd even ordered one and was completely unaware of the delays folks were (are) experiencing. I just came home and - voila! There it was! It totally made my day! :) Keep the faith, folks - when you get yours, you'll see they're well worth the wait! |

got the note from Holden today doing some splaining. And I fully unerstand the issues. One of a kinds, unique, creative executions that push the envelope do take everyone by storm at times. It would've been nice to know earlier. But do give them respect for having the coconuts to folllow through with the project. I guess there's a reason they call you crazy al. Mahalo, |

Well... 2+ months since the last "update" and still nothing. Glad this wasn't supposed to be a House Warming, Chanuka, X-mas, anniversary, Valentines Day, Birthday, Easter, Graduation, or get well present. Anyone know what the most recent ETA is? Anyone else gotten theirs? -T.J. |

Hey Al just got your mug (ape mug that is) from an eBayer. I missed the initial go-around. Just wanted to chime in on a great job. A real hilight in my meager collection. Keep up the good work. Cheers. (#159 to be exact) |

Phew!! This waiting is tough business....Original sale date was 10/26/04 I think? I've decided I don't want mine until 10/26/05. Holden, move me to the end of the list (seems like I must have been pretty close to the end anyway!) A year long wait for the mug will only make it that much more valuable to me....and yeah, I'm STILL gonna drink from it! In all seriousness, I cant wait, and Im sure Im gonna love it when it gets here. Keep up the good work on the Farm, and Al, keep doin your thang! Th' Bargoyle |

Ha! I don't feel quite so alone. Apparently there are quite a few other people waiting for their Ape mug. Not that I'm complaining. I'll wait for however long it takes. |

it's a good thing i have nothing to do with getting the production speed up on the Lmt. Ape Mugs ..... one year, wow' there has not been a change as far as speed goes, sorry to say. But it looks like a few will go out a few at a time. I run with the snails these days, they make me look good.... |

Any idea how many of the orders have been filled so far? For some reason I would just feel better if I had a realistic time frame for when I will get mine. This Friday, next month, February, July... anything that would give me hope so I don't have to keep asking every month or so. Thanks! |
