Would give $49 dollars for a Mug thrown in but Customs would probably charge me the same again plus  VAT so it would be a pretty expensive Mug. 

That depends on whether or not your country has a free trade agreement with the country sending the mugs. If you could find out which country they ship from, you could find out if you'll have to pay excessive duties or not.

I'll donate once bandlab puts the stereo interleave and phase buttons back on the track view and shows that they want to bring cakewalk back to being a professional product like it was before the X series and all the garbage that's been done to the program since that.  

And please tell me that Bandlab didn't bring the imbecile over to the new company who was responsible for removing the phase and stereo interleave buttons.  That guy should have been fired the day X1 debuted. 

The mugs would be very cool.

I have no problem dropping some money on a program that I use. Even 200.00 a year is cheap. Used to pay that much just to get the guy to set up the drum mics and take care of phase issues in the studio. 
 
The re-release is like having a mate that went through rehab, and now I'm just waiting to see if everything works out.
 
The new PRV color change is a great start.

Sell those black mugs for $15 I would get one.  I don't like coffee mugs either but that black one is sweet.

I happily gave at the office - $99.99 plus fees.  Mostly as a thank you, but also to get those lovely little old Cakewalking feet on my new T-Shirt!

I decided to go for the $99 tip for T-shirt and mug. I pressed the radio button choosing the $99 tip for Tshirt and mug.
The system was quick to take my money, I was given no choice over T-shirt style or size or the mug. At this stage I’m not even sure if I’m going to be charged shipping because I had no choice to cancel the order like you usually do once shipping fees are confirmed.

Got an email confirming I gave a tip but it says the reward is Undedined.

Better question would be what have they done to earn it.

I saw it more as buying some over priced merchandising.
