I've handled the badge it's well worth the 11 quid,I thought it had been reduced from 12 nicker.When they are all gone i'm sure dealers will be selling them at around 18 to 25 dnuops

In 2014 perhaps?

so do you know how many have been made
are they in their hundreds or a thousand or so
or gonna be scarce
or is the price dropping already
perhaps the Mods can answer this
then again they are the last to know
however thanks for your input

I don't think anyone will be able to predict exactly when the price of an item will drop as it's usually down to supply & demand.
In the case of calendars or diarys they are always cheaper once the year has started and in the case of the Morris Centenary calendar the price drop was most likely down to the publisher (rather than MMOC) as it is being offered at the same reduced price of £5.00 elsewhere. The grille badges might go down in price after 2013 but it's impossible to know in advance - I've ordered one now as I'd rather display it on the car during the centenary year.

In respect of the grille badge, as with the calendar it is not solely an MMOC product - other Morris clubs will also be selling the item so I imagine that quite a lot have been made. The Morris Register is also selling the badge (and also a bottom mounted one if anyone wants one for a badge bar) although when the price of postage is added it's cheaper to buy the grille badge with rear fixings from the MMOC if you are planning on buying a couple: http://www.morrisregister.co.uk/shop.htm
