Apparently, when they (the IOC) is preparing for the Olympics, they do not make just one torch to be carried by the runners. According to an interview with Sir Patrick Stewart, they actually made 8,000, one for each runner, and everyone chosen to do so for a leg had the opportunity to purchase theirs as a memento. Sir Patrick is apparently planning to mount his on the wall, or possibly just sit on the porch and shake it and young people who've never heard of Jean-Luc (possibly anyone under the age of 18, more likely 10 if you count the movies).

Doesn't' say how much they're charging for each of the 8000 torches. Could be a bit of a money maker, eh wot?
