just pre-ordered one off camerastore. $36 after tax and shipping. Anyone know if this can be bought locally yet?
Looking at the photos, the 24-105 mug looks like a much better made replica of the lens than the current 70-200 L. Just look at the distance window, it looks lopsided and so fake. I know the inside is metal (which is great), but hopefully the outside is not some cheap plastic. Wouldn't it be great if it was magnesium alloy and that you can actually turn the zoom and focus ring and move the distance meter (i can only dream)?

What a guy!

To be honest, I hate people who hoard a certain item only to resell it. Don't be greedy, just buy it because you actually want one.

Rofl, I didn't ACTUALLY hoard it... it's actually pretty expensive once you buy higher numbers. I ordered 6, 4 are for family and friends, and I have 2 left over to see if any of my other friends want it. And the mug being a production item isn't confirmed yet. No need to hate . But I do want the cup... I wish they made that too.

Canon Canada is having thousands of the mugs made. That qualifies as a production item. There will be more than enough to go around. The Olympics were just a testing ground.

I went with a couple of other people who bought a bunch just for resell. (So it's kind of like I have an inventory)
I still don't know if its production item or not.. even if it is, it's still only exclusive to Canada? I know some people in the states are trying to buy it off Craigslist (Vancouver) and that guy on Ebay has sold around 40 or 50 pre-order mugs for 70$!! Super rape.

I find people like that morally reprehensible.

Here's a much more rare Canon item, a very detailed model of a 1DsmkIII + 600mm f4:

i wanted to also preorder one from kerrisdale cameras. I called this morning at 9:30 when they opened and they had 25 spots left for preorder. I didn't have my CC at the time and when I called back at 12, they were sold out on the preorders! They said they even had people call them from as far as Germany (thanks to the internet/facebook). They had ordered just under 300 units. They started the preorder list 3 days ago. I guess once the info hit the net, they went out of stock fast. Oh well, hope I get my mug from thecamerastore. (i don't even drink coffee...it's going to be my water bottle)

Weird, I asked Canon about the mugs, and they don't seem to know that its being released as pre-orders :S They just said you get it if you spend 200$ or more on their website. Interesting...

Different departments have different memos. Another thought is maybe they want to make some money from their online store as well? Hence why they don't mention other shops/stores.

Damn it. My preorder through thecamerastore got canceled because they accepted too many orders
But luckily, I also preordered through Lens and Shutter. I called to confirm my preorder and they ensured I'll be getting one. Works out better anyways. They are selling it also for $24.95 and only a 8 min drive from me. Keeping my fingers crossed that I actually get one 
Note: Lens and Shutters preorder list is full. But I was told that they ordered in excess of their preorder list to sell to walk-in customers. The mugs are not expected until mid April.

Kerrisdale Cameras said theirs are expected to go in April 15th. (Approximation from Canon). They were only allowed around 220 per store, when I reserved it was around 20-30 left, but it was sold out later on during the day.
The people working there were also bummed out because Kerrisdale employees are only allowed 1 per staff!
