WOW! Check out what I’ve run into at eBay today (see the links below the post). Yes, completely new design for You Are Here Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It has different colors compared to previous mug. I personally like this simple design (some might not agree).
Will update with more info soon.
Another mug from Germany – You Are Here Dusseldorf. The total count of German mugs comes to eight. Again we see local variant of writing the name, with the O modified with what is known as an “umlaut mark”.
Dusseldorf is the seventh most populous city in Germany and an international business and financial centre known for fashion and trade fairs.
I only see some buildings, the river Rhine and red carnival cap for Rhenish Carnival celebrations held every year in February / March
I see no trace of Rheinturm – a 240.5 metre high concrete telecommunications tower.… Read more
Since Starbucks broke it’s own “no European country YAHs” rule with the release of France we can finally welcome You Are Here – England mug.
Rain, tea, Red telephone box. Did I miss anything? As per eyewitness reports, this mug was only spotted in Southampton so far, but I am pretty sure it will spread over the England pretty fast.
Update from 09/20/2017: as it has been noticed by Michael (see comments) I missed Stonehenge – one of the most famous landmarks in the UK.… Read more
Cambodia scores again! New YAH from this Southeast Asian country just hit the stores. Please meet You Are Here Siem Reap mug.
Siem Reap is a popular tourist destination in northwestern Cambodia. It has a large number of hotels, restaurants, and resorts, mostly because of it being close to the Angkor temples, the most popular tourist attraction in Cambodia. Angkor was the capital city of the Khmer Empire. It was in a heyday between the 9th to 15th centuries.… Read more
This is the third YAH from Netherlands. Again Starbucks has used native (in this case Dutch) version of the name – You Are Here – Den Haag. You probably know it better as The Hague. By coincidence this is the third-largest city in the Netherlands. Over 150 international organisations are hosted here. Probably the most noticeable are International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The colors of the mug are pretty vivid, yet Icon collectors might not like it.… Read more
You probably remember my previous post about China YAHs coming out. We had some bad quality pics of Christmas and one regular YAH. Everyone agreed that the last one is probably Hangzhou. But if you look at the newly leaked pics – it seems like Hangzhou will have a different design. I am now confused which one is real. I tend to believe the last news, since insiders even announced the date – mid September.
There are six mugs revealed so far:
You Are Here – Hangzhou
You Are Here – Nanjing
You Are Here – Suzhou
You Are Here – Wuxi
You Are Here – Ningbo
You Are Here – Shanghai
I am pretty sure there will be more, so free some place on your shelf if you’re planning to add these to your collection.… Read more
I was pretty sure no Icons will be released anymore since You Are Here series is replacing them. Yet Starbucks doesn’t give up. The never seen before Icon has hit shelves in Munich. I hope you still have the place for Icons in your cabinets – who knows, maybe it’s not the end for this long-living series, loved by many collectors.

You probably remember how Starbucks replaced Hollywood Studios with second version. Many wondered if other Disney YAHs will eventually be replaced. Looks like we have the answer now, because Hollywood Studios v2 has just been released. The mug looks great and it has aroused excitement among many collectors – enough to mention it was sold out within a day. I really hope Starbucks has more in stock as the hype in demand will remain high for some time.
I’ve never been to Disneyland, so can’t tell for sure if design hit the mark and I ask you to tell me in the comments.… Read more
Allons enfants de la Patrie, Le jour de gloire est arrivé!
Anyone wondering why am I singing La Marseillaise? Guess what? First European country YAH – France was released this week. Someone won’t agree but I think this mug is really beautiful. I really love dark blue mugs, in first place, but this one is special.
Mountains, Mont Saint-Michel, grapes, cheese and wine (back of the mug) – all you need to know about France (according to Starbucks).
Mont Saint-Michel is an island located about 700 yards (600 meters) from land and is accessible in low tide, but surrounded by water in high tide.… Read more
Scotland scores again. Welcome the new mug from You Are Here series – Aberdeen. This city is only third by population in Scotland, yet it now has YAH and Glasgow doesn’t. Don’t forget, Edinburgh has been released long time ago too. Hey, Starbucks, what is your logic? It’s not like I am complaining, just trying to understand you.
As for the mug itself, I would like to mention Aberdeen Beach and Queens Links which is famous for it’s golden sand. Unfortunately it suffers from erosion and multiple actions are performed in order to protect it.… Read more
