OK, it's not an actual collectors item, but I was at Sears with the wife and we got a kick out of seeing a black & white 'Polka Dot Mug' there. Of course she twisted my rubber arm into buying one. So, if you can't afford the V, you can at least have the mug... although it's almost as expensive. It is higher quality stoneware material though. It can be found online at several different places:

damn cool. too bad it's not shaped like a beer stein w/ a gold RR engraved plaque.
