Seriously, those things are pretty cool. If Fortis brought them back for a reasonable price, they'd sell like crazy.

If you’re looking for a business opportunity and want feedback, maybe avoid bumping a random old thread.

Try the classy approach: go into the main forum, introduce yourself in a new post, then propose your idea and ask for opinions.
