They say CHIKI TIKI on the bottom and are pretty cool looking: I'd never been to an Urban Outfitters so I decided to check out their website to see what else they might have. (I did a search and see that they've been mentioned here for repro tiki mugs several times). It seems that they have the U Bastard mugs that Munktiki imports for sale (online sale only) for $4.99 each. Not my favorite mug but for $5 it's pretty tempting. I thought some of you might want to take advantage of the sale...U Bastards.

Joined: Feb 09, 2003 Posts: 674	B BambooLodge Posted posted on Tue, Apr 20, 2004 5:08 PM Thanx for the hot tip on the U Bastards. At $6.50 each (shipping included), we bought 2 of each color. The funny thing is they have the smaller version listed on sale at$9.99 each. Wonder if someone goofed? Anyway we will be breaking these out at some BambooLodge backyard Luau's this summer.

I know the description said 9.5 ", but after parting the sea of packing peanuts, I was amazed at how HUGE they were! I know, not traditional Tiki, but a bargain at $5 each. Thanks for the heads up! But you're right, seems kinda funny the smaller Bastardo is twice as much.

Now could somebody tell me why my $175 digital camera can't take a %@#%$! decent &^#@$!ng picture? Look at my pic and then look at Juno's. How much do you have to spend on a digital camera to get a decent pic? (Mine's a JVC GC-A55 1.3 megapixels) I'd like to find some of those larger Chiki Tiki mugs. The one that's sort of blue and brown/gray/green has a really cool glaze.

I can see a fair-few Tiki Centralite bars using these fine mugs as day-to-day cocktail-bearers. Shame they don't ship outside of North America.... Trader Woody

No charge, of course) Trader Woody Now that's not true. I think that 90% of all the Trechtikoff prints ever made now reside in the UK. At least it seems that way on ebay. I'd love to get my hands on (a) Madam Wong! I never did buy any of those U Bastards. I started to but Urban Outfitters S/H policy sucks if you only want two of them like I do ($8.50 S/H up to $75 worth of merchandise). That's probably fair S/H but still it puts the cost up over $9 each and I'd rather go to Hilo Hatties and put that money into some Tiki Farm mugs. Which I did. :)

When I sober up in the morning I'm calling them and tell them how it should be shipped. And if recieve more broken ones, I'll tell them where they can ship it next. oh Lone Star beer, you make me 10ft tall and bullet proof
A Atomicchick Tiki Socialite Southern California Joined: Sep 08, 2003 Posts: 590	A Atomicchick Posted posted on Sun, May 2, 2004 1:07 AM I thought that for $5, these mugs would be great little gifts to pass out to my friends just for fun. Well, I ordered 16 mugs, yes 16. Today they arrived in the mail and ALL 16 were broken!!! I don't know who the hell packaged these mugs, but they just stacked them all on top of eachother. No foam peanuts, no paper for padding, no nothing! When I picked up the box, it sounded like a million broken pieces and when I opened the box, that is what was in there. I sent UO an e-mail with attached pictures. Hopefully I'll get the mugs in tack the second time around. All I could think of is what a waste!

All 3 were shipped in an individual bubble wrap sleeve and a big box full of peanuts. No cracks, chips, nicks to be found. I guess I had the "employee of the month" wrapping my package for shipment! :wink:

We emailed one of the head people about this, even though we are not doing business with them anymore maybe they will look into it. Sorry everyone for the trouble, wish there was something I could do about it. -stuckie

Well let's just say the wife is going to call Monday to make sure they properly send the small bastard mug. It was broken as well. That is the main reason I hate buying mugs off the internet.
