You got the goal nailed down, make them popular and make the people become addicted to them. It sounds like they want them to be the next "pin" to trade, so I wouldn't be surprised if they start making them premiums with purchases at resturants, holiday packages, or "spend $100 or more" kind of deals.

I was reading comments about the $600 Tron one and apparently this is not the first time they've done one that size, they did one for the 55th as well as a giant one that cost several thousand dollars.
