It would make more sense to me to create many more mugs for an Event like this. Everyone in TC wants an Event Mug! I am not sure if historical data shows that each event ends up with a surplus of mugs, thus they cut the number created, or if there just wasn't enough time to produce more.

In addition to what Humuhumu just said about edition sizes, I remember Otto sending out an email right after last year's Oasis saying he had some extra mugs left over. Does anyone else remember that? I'm just thinking that maybe the edition size is kept small to keep Otto et al from getting stuck with a ton of unpurchased mugs. At least traditionally. Maybe there were more attendees this year, creating a bigger demand than last.
As if that weren't enough, here's the unfortunate result:
