(Darn, I should buy stock.)

It is the pricing reasonably by travel mugs/picture mugs that I question. Sure if they can sell a low end one for under a dollar and a high end classy looking ceramic for under $20, they might do okay. And of course the would probably do very well in the As Seen on TV Market if they can mass produce at a very low price.

I still think the novelty appeal would be short lived in the over 10 year old crowd, but maybe I am underestimating the average attention span and the amount of time the average user would be enthralled with this. What would be your guesstimate for yourself for example?

Me I would play with it for an hour or so and the excitement would be gone. A character flaw perhaps.
