Hmmm...Ein Hawaiianischer Touristen-Tiki, wahrscheinlich maschinell in den Phillipinen geschnitzt. Ungefaehr so selten wie ein Gartenzwerg in Deutschland...sorry. Aber der zweite ist schon etwas spezieller, zwar auch ein Touristen-Tiki, aber nicht ganz so Massenware. Sorry, Tiki-sammeln in Deutschland ist schwer. Sven |

I have to disappoint you. The first Tiki you see I buy over ebay from someone in California (from ebay auction) that I got. The Second One is from a German Store here... [ Edited by: normanx 2008-08-21 13:51 ] |

Hah! He says that to all the newcomers. :wink: So, tell me, why exactly are the tikis in Germany so heavy? Is gravity a problem there? |

To be honest, there is no problem here... If you want a Tiki, you go to Ebay USA or Ebay DE and you can get as many Tiki's you wish :) What I'm looking for is for something "special" for our stores here in Germany. I got few samples, let's see what we can do with :) We are still looking for something Special -- any suggestions? [ Edited by: normanx 2008-08-21 15:49 ] |

No, he just started last week, everyone in California is born with at least that many Tiki's, only they come with GOLD coins in them, you get them when the government gives us our big houses and expensive cars. It's so much work to pick out a house and a car. Der Amerikaner spielt einen Witz auf Ihnen, aber er denkt, dass Sie gut sind, Verein zu verbinden. Sie sind mein Freund? Danke. |

Ich habe nicht die große Zahl der Tikis, dass PTD tut, aber hier ist mein neu geschnitzten California Girl Tiki. :)

Ya ya, that goes to show, if you amass Tikis like a Psycho, it quickly can become a quantity before quality thing. This last assembly of ugly ducklings is enough to make any newbie believe they found the Maltese Falcon of Tiki with THEIR "nameless piece of hacked wood". I bet you have 20 sets of those rare, finely crafted giant fork and spoon sets waiting in the wings, too. :D |

Oh, well, she's pretty nice, of course. Would have done better without the vampire teeth, perhaps. I recommended Kai's work over at http://www.forbidden-paradise.com/ as the best quality Tikis to be had in Germany, but I don't think Norman caught that lil' blinking "personal message" light yet, that's even hard to catch for non-newbies. |
