Hey everyone, I know there's a thread here already and I wrote to SD concept and have been emailing Jerry back and forth. He says they can make them just need to know what options everyone wants on them and group buys would be the only way to get them started.

Just a thought.

But he also needs a consensus on how many people will in fact buy them. As soon as he gets some projects done he will get on these and have them made up.
