I got a Torino 2006 one. No. 14, on a custom made plexiglass stand.

Tokyo is one of the world's popular cities including me!

Around Games Time you could be able to find the one from the related games for around 400/500 USD, as there is plenty of them coming at that time on the market !

In the past Torch Bearers were able to buy torches at a cost around 300 Euros / 400 USD ! In London apparently it will be at 199 GBP (245 Euros / 325 USD)

Wow 200 pounds like 350 bucks here but do you have to be a torch bearer or can anyone buy it?
I'll keep an eye out for them on ebay and post them on here.
Do Olympic bid books pop up on ebay when it gets close to the games?

I don't think the numbers matter, but I got one of the early production or torch bearer ones.

I finally got a Lillehammer Olympic Torch a few months ago when I was in Vegas. That was one awkward thing to get through an airport.
