If you have a chance please tell me more about the War God Club mug we have never seen it before.
Thank you very much, Wendy

Hi Wendy,
Glad to see the mug arrived in one piece!
I believe the mug was made by Cheekytiki for Kukui in Oxford, but was never used as the local Council introduced a "No Glass" rule for late night venues.
I managed to snag a couple off eBay when they were selling off their stock a couple of years ago - you are now the proud owners of my only spare 
Cheers,
Joe.

Wow Joe, that's special. Thank you very much. Maybe next year our name will be drawn for you so we may keep this connection going. We look at the plate you made for us last year every day. Cheers, Wendy

Got my package from ExquisiteCorpse!
I've wanted a Fu Manchu forever! I also don't have that version of the Trader Vic's Coconut - very cool and strange.

Alright, arrived from my overseas trip late last night. Went to the post office first thing, hoping my trade box was still there as it's been over a week now. Tiki's about the exotic, right? I knew I was onto something good then when I saw the postage:
It looks like customs got curious...
And viola!
From Atomic Tony Tiki - a Tiki Farm Kai-Kanak/Happy Cannibal mug designed by none other than Atomic Tony Tiki; a very cool modern moai mug (no markings); an Yma Sumac painting by Atomic Tony Tiki; and the best surprise....Thai food! Pad Thai sauce (with english directions, thankfully!) and some peanuts and fish Tom Yum Crisp. I'm guessing it's a snack to be eaten out the bag (no english on that one). Looking forward to finding out.
Thanks you very much ATT for the fantastic box!!

Glad you like the presents, the modern moai are really common here in Thailand but strangely get used as votive vases in buddhist temples.
There is almost no tiki ephemera here, so I went with whats best from Thailand the food. Everyone knows Phad Thai but I think the peanuts with dried fish gives you a true experience of Thai cuisine, great food with odd ingredients. "This noodle soups lovely, what's the brown stuff? Oh! congealed blood cake. This dipping sauce is tasty, what's it made of? Ah fermented fish stomachs. Those doughnuts look great, what's the filling? Hot Dog and custard, are you insane?"

Besides Atomictonytiki and Pikey's Dog is anyone else waiting for their boxes still?
I meant to check in a while ago but got busy.
Let me know please 
Also keep in mind that this is the last swap I will organize so if anyone is looking to take over the swaps going forward please feel free to step up and do so.
I can send you all the shipping information I have saved from the past swaps to make it easier to match people.
Its been a fun run but I really think its time to let someone else take over
