Make your own. Wal-mart glasses, painter's tape and some glass etching paste (hobby lobby) you could even pick up a few stencils. might get a set of six done fro under $20

Just Get a glass from wally world and some painters tape (The Blue stuff) cut out a design and add glass etching paste to it. 20 min later wash it off and peel the tape. any design will do and whole project might cost you $20 for a set of six. try using stencils too those are fun.

When I first saw the image, I thought that one of the writer's kids made an AWESOME project in school for them.

Remember the more others talk about the "banned" the more unecessary comments fill up the comments section.

@For_the_lulz: Kids, you've got it so damn lucky these days! When I was in school they didn't HAVE lasers just sitting around waiting to draw Donkey Kong on your spectacles or burn away that hastily considered done-it-yourself Frogger tattoo.

Nope, if you wanted to etch or set anything on fire, you had to use good ol' chemistry. Potassium sticks and nitric acid were a favourite, though not together... not twice anyway.

Lasers in school, pshaw! Is this what I pay taxes for?

Krytha — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 16:54:29 MDT

The concept is fine, but the fact that it is crooked makes it undeserving of 20$. If they just etched a simple triforce on there and made it look great!!, I would be more willing to part with 20$ for an extremely well done simple design than a poorly executed complicated one.

I mean, seriously, it looks like a fifth grader was making a cut-paste bricolage out of a Zelda picture and then glued in onto the glass for etching. EFFORT, PLEASE!

Cool concept but I wouldn't pay the 20 bucks for sloppy work. Not that I have any idea how difficult it is (or isn't) to do something like that, but I've hand drawn the same art a million times better.

I'll echo the above - those don't look so good. That said, give me a set of rocks glasses with the Shadow of the Colossus glyph etched on the bottom and I'll take a dozen.

Capt Castellanos — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 13:53:48 MDT

i'd pay 20 if they were shot glasses.
and if it was a set.
because shot glasses can look cheesy, without worry of them looking out of place, and the bad etching won't matter when a little tipsy.
and sets of things are always nice.

quen — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 13:41:38 MDT

As well as the design (apart from being possibly lopsided, it's too busy), the glass itself looks a bit crap - did they start with the cheapest tumbler money can buy, or is it just that the bad photo makes it look generally unattractive?

I don't want to be mean, it's a good effort as a personal craft thing, but not good enough to sell IMO.

Silent Predator — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 13:40:41 MDT

I'll agree with most of the people here and say that glass isn't worth $20 bucks. It's not done terribly, but I'd expect a little more for $20 [insert joke about weak American currency here].

@Candlejack: Well, I guess my thinking is that if we can hold them up as the bad example, we might get two or three of the others that haven't yet. These warnings could establish the rules for those who just arrived and may have an interesting opinion, so they know this is a relatively safe place to voice them.

deathbunny — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 13:16:31 MDT

oh, good. So I'm not crazy. Other people don't think it's worth money, either.

In fact, I'd say it's not worth the price of the original glass. That's student work.

In starship troopers there's a moral lesson wrapped in a hypothetical about apples and dough, and how they don't automatically get better by putting in 'work'.

I guess what I'm saying here is Heinlein rules.

Candlejack — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 13:13:10 MDT

@dead_red_eyes: No, I think you shouldn't respond to those people. Why? Because people with the intention to do that deserve a ban, even if they saw others doing it. They don't belong here. So if you ask me, just ignore them and let them have their ban. It only gets them the attention they want if you reply, which might not be beneficial to them as they'll be banned, but other people will think that they can wind others up by it.

Absent Blue — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 13:07:31 MDT

$20? No thanks, not even if the design was done right.

Maybe $10 if it was done right, I'd prefer a differently shaped glass though but I guess I'm just nit-picking now.

@Candlejack:

A lot of us "old guys" (and some of the young blood around here) know that if you post "first!", "old" or "not news" it earns you an insta-ban, and there's no arguing your way out of it really. Sometimes we feel the need to inform the nubs about this, that way when they make a second account ... they don't make the same exact mistake and perpetuate this whole stupid "first!" bullshit that seems to be ever so popular.

NewBKaeK — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 13:05:33 MDT

That's neat. But $20 is a bit much too pay for something like that. It looks a bit crooked, or maybe that's just the camera angle causing it. =x I would pay maximum $5 for that

Arttemis — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 12:55:03 MDT

Why would anyone pay $20 for that? It's easily done yourself with a simple jar of etching cream, a fine-tip paintbrush, and a design. Seriously, this could be done in ~30 minutes.
My mom does this kind of stuff for Christmas presents almost every year... and honestly, her stencils look more precise and uniform.

MantisDragon — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 12:51:04 MDT

@Scazza: Agreed.

The image on the glass just seems asymmetrical and the glass itself doesn't seem to be leveled correctly on the bottom.

It's a good try and all though, but I don't think I would pay $20 for it.

zebber — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 12:49:27 MDT

The idea is cool. But, my girlfriend's done glass etching before, and if this is anything like that (and it looks just like it), 20 bucks each is...sort of high pricing. Specially since as another poster mentioned, the designs a little off.
