Sure - but it's a circa 1957 one... Kinda funky looking - I got it from a former Imagineer who worked for a fiberglass shop back in the 60s & handled the 1963 'African Veldt' rehab - according to him they were gonna toss it, so he kept it in his attic for 35 years! It is filthy.
I'll take a pic this weekend & post on Monday.

Man, I saw the stuff today in person and I gotta say...It rocks. The bird was cool. The nicest piece was the ticket booth. All the pieces had great detail and were bigger than I expected. While not my thing, the small world piece was very cool, with all the little dolls coming out and circling the front of the building. I also met Kevin and spoke to him a few minutes. What a nice guy.
Wait.....this stuff is limited edition.........it all was horrible. Don't bother with it. Treat friday like any other day, nothing to see here........lol

Hi everyone - I just got off the phone with Kevin, and got an update on when to order. As with everything Disney - I'd like to stress that these things can change (and I take no responsibility if Disney changes things!), but as of today (Wed the 13th at 6:30pm) this information is correct. At midnight the 15th Eastern Time all the Tiki Room & Adventureland merchandise will go on sale - so 9pm Thursday night here on the West coast....
However! Kevin informs me that during the last release, it actually took the catalog people until 3 or 4 am to get the new info up on the website....
So, here's whatcha should do - tomorrow night call Disney Direct at 1-800-237-5751 to place your order. Don't do it before midnight EST though! At midnight if you call up to order the Host Shirt or Barker Bird, and describe the item to the host, they should be able to process the order.... Once again, if you want one of the Host Shirts in a larger size, I strongly suggest you do this, as I believe they will sell out that night. Kevin just did an unveiling of the Tiki Room items at the annual Disney convention - the NFFC - this weekend. So roughly 1000 Disney freaks will be after these things too! Of course - this is just speculation on my part, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
That's all the info I have - so good luck!

All the prices are on the previous page of this post in the catalog pages - but the shirt is $100, the Barker Bird $200.

I just placed my order. 
Apparently there's a Tiki Room watch also. The cast member I spoke with tried describing it to me, but she wasn't too big on the details. Hopefully it's as cool as the rest of the ETR items.
Thanks, Tangaroa, for all the great info.

yep - the phone rep also tried describing it to me, but couldn't figure it out from what she was saying. Can't wait to see what it looks like!

They told me the Trinket Box, ticket booth wasn't available yet. Some sort of computer problem. I ordered the shirt and the 5 figurine set.
Anyone else have problems with the trinket box?

I just called. They told me it's sold out.
Is this true? Less than an hour, and not even online yet?
