The Ukraine is full of suck

[tikistitch]

Safely arrived at Dusseldorf. Where there are Intarnets. Well, for a cost.

Ukrainian weasels stole tiki's camera.

Details later, but first, take a look at this nifty nesting doll set we got from a vendor in Kiev. He first claimed, when Mr. Tiki inquired, that he had no Lilo & Stitch, as the movie was "from 1997." Then, when we moved down a couple of booths, to another setup that turned out to be run by the same guy, he started to talk up the value of the set, repeating that it was manufactured in '97, or, if you're counting, 5 years prior to the year the movie Lilo & Stitch actually opened in the United States. He also remarked on the quality of the wood that makes up the set. It was imported from Moscow! He also told us it was a waste of our time to bargain, as we were rich Americans. Well, not with the value of the dollar lately. We accepted his price, as we couldn't pronounce the currency they use in the Ukraine anyway. Hr- something. We think they named it that on purpose.

Okay, I've spent the last hour going back through your postings admiring all your Stitch stuff and this is the one thing that has made me GREEN with envy. Those are completely awesome!

I'm friending you so I can keep up with your Stitch postings :)

Thanks, friended ya back.

Kiev was annoying, but it was cool to find the nesting dolls, especially since the guys didn't manage to find any new Star Wars ones.

You've heard there's going to be a new Stitch cartoon in Japan, right? Which means, even MORE Stitch stuff is coming.

Yes, I saw that on your LJ actually. I am always happy to see more Stitch stuff. I don't nearly have as much as you do though. For awhile I was mostly restricting myself to Stitch pins because they are so easy to store, but on my last trip to WDW I kinda went nuts LOL

I really really really need to get to Tokyo Disneyland, but I don't want to go unless I have several thousand set aside just for shopping at both the park and in Tokyo.

So have you ever posted any pics of your collection as a whole? Do you have a Stitch room?

Thanks for friending me back!

Yes, there is a "Stitch room." Unfortunatly, it's also the former anime room:

Which means it currently looks like the final scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I do have some older pictures of Mount Stitch:
