Yet another Philippines mug – You Are Here Series Bulacan. Only 5 mugs to go! I am little bit surprised with this one as we don’t have Icon version for Bulacan. Well, again, like I’ve always said, it looks like there is no obvious strategy for the releases. Muggers are left with limited choices of waiting for the actual release or trying to get some insights from Starbucks employees. Again, 15 mugs are expected for Philippines so let’s wait for more.… Read more
This is the 9th YAH from Philippines, Pampanga. As I wrote earlier it is expected up to 15 mugs to be released for this country. I am going to add a photo of this mug later when I get it. Stay tuned.
Update 04/04/17: added the featured image as well as the image from the official site.… Read more
You Are Here Ornament US series is still growing. A San Diego mini mug was found today on eBay. It looks like Starbucks decided to cover West Coast first. Who knows maybe we gonna have many more in upcoming days or weeks. It’s safe to say that, if your State, Province or City has a regular YAH and not ornament – this will be your year. If you want to be the first to spot the new release, you have to pass by a licensed store on a daily basis.… Read more
As it was advised by a friend, this is totally normal for Starbucks to release new mugs in batches this time of the year. Today, I was really excited to see the reports about the issue of Las Vegas Ornament from You Are Here series. Same design, same color inside as the regular Vegas YAH The strap is obviously red.
One new thing I also learned today. Again, according to pro muggers, Tuesday is the release day. So if nothing else will be released today, we still have other Tuesdays, folks.… Read more
In my previous post I mentioned there are two new YAH Ornaments released for US. This is the second one – Washington state. Again, I have no idea how Starbucks decides on what they gonna be releasing and when, probably just random. Try to spot them in licensed stores like Hotels or rest areas on highways. … Read more
People with “completed” collections of US Ornament YAHs – there are good news for you. Starbucks is adding two (so far) other minis to their collection. Yes, please make some room for You Are Here Ornament – Denver. This one is obviously a complete copy of it’s bigger brother I am pretty sure these will be available for sale online very soon or for trade through FB groups. Good luck!… Read more
Mother Russia gets another YAH. We had Moscow, we had Moscow Christmas. This time Starbucks releases St. Petersburg. It looks appealing (my opinion only).
I expect this one will be somewhat hard to get for US muggers and shipping might be expensive. I suggest only using UPS, FedEx or something similar rather than Russian Post (just believe me).… Read more
Along with the full size version, Starbucks released Thailand You Are Here Ornament. It is a complete copy of the first, just smaller. Very interesting detail here – the lace is very different from what I’ve seen before on the previous ornaments. Usually, it was a braided round lace and now it’s a flat one! So we can say this ornament is somewhat unique in the series. I believe this is not the only one mug coming from Thailand. Judging by Icons and Relief Series, there should be more.… Read more
Today many FB users reported the release of another YAH from Asia – somewhat expected Thailand You Are Here mug.
Yellow and orange colors are prevailing here. Mug shows some generic buildings and auto rickshaw.
See also Ornament version of this mug. It has an unique feature.… Read more
This new YAH is kind of unexpected one. I am used to Starbucks following Icons when releasing new mugs from You Are Here Series. So far we only have one Icon from Kazakhstan and it is, guess what, the Kazakhstan Icon
So, again, Astana YAH is an interesting move. They placed some architecture elements on the mug as well as some national symbols – Kazah Kalpak (hat) and Kazah Ornament.
I am sure this is the first one from the series for this country and there will be at least another one, Almaty, as there are five Starbucks stores there versus only one in Astana.… Read more
