I am curious to know the train of though that went into selecting this year's game piece.

I have though about it and to me it comes down to the question of the chicken and the egg.

Was the game piece first though of as being useful?

-It has been used as a poor mans robot stand
-It has been used as a convienient chair
-It stacks away in the corner when not being used.
-You put things in it when you travel rather than trying to find a place to put the game pieces.

OR was the game piece though of as being unique

-People tossed around the idea of a cube
-The Cube had to be easy to obtain
-Etc.

Which came first in the discussion? Obviosly the conclusion was the result of the two.

What do you think?
