Anyone ever tell you mama knows best?  Believe it.
I have had a Star Wars bathroom cup since 1999 when Phantom Menace came out.  It's been kind of a family joke.  Well the cup started to leak this year and it had definitely seen better days.  My birthday was in February and I challenged my family to find me a new one.
My wife came up with an Episode 3 cup, bowl and plate set (like something you would buy for a five year old).  A respectable showing and a worthy replacement.
Her mother came up with a tumbler style cup with an Episode 4 style Obi-Wan Kenobi action figure.  Step UP! 
Then my mother trumped them all this evening in a way that only she could.  She bought me (on eBay or some thing for $12 (!!!)) the exact same bathroom cup I had as a very young child.  It turns out it was like a $1 item from McDonald's :

Easily the best birthday present I have ever received!
