I like doing smaller batches (5 gallons is too much for me), so I liked the size of the Mr Beer keg (great for halving recipes and easy to store). I was putzing around and came across this:
http://store.coopers.com.au/beer-kits/craft-kit/coopers-diy-beer-craft-kit.html
It's essentially a Mr Beer-sized mini Coopers keg (even uses Mr Beer ingredients). However, this seems superior to Mr Beer in that the tap is easily removable for cleaning, and the fermenter is dishwasher safe ( it also comes with a bottle wand out-of-the-box). I would prefer to have this over a Mr Beer keg, but considering there's already a Mr Beer in the US, I seriously doubt they are going to sell this mini Cooper keg in the states.

Looks nice, though. Also, the Mr beer cans are cheaper from the AU site (not that I would buy them, just noticing).
 
These work nice:

I brew 2-3g batches and I like using their fermenter for 2-2.5 gal stuff.

(Although, I ferm in kegs most of the time anymore. Dump hot to the keg and throw the keg in the pool for chilling most of the way)
 
I bought some 5 gallon white HDPE buckets from Walmart to do 2 1/2 gallon batches in. The work great and when I'm not brewing, they stack inside each other for easier storage. The lids are the same as the bigger fermenter buckets too.
