How much would a set be worth to you guys? We could reproduce them with similar or the same fonts (depending on availability) and could have CPR print them, but I'm not sure of the legalities with the older stuff. Not sure what CPR does to license this stuff at all, etc. I've worked with them on other projects so I know we can create them, just not sure what is allowed.

I used to have a Time Machine and I felt like the market wasn't that large for the machine, so it seems like each set would have to be somewhat spendy in order to make it profitable.

Well, if CPR will give you a minimum order or dollar amount that would give you an idea of where to go. I don't want to step on those toes and I definitely don't want to deal with angry license holders. I am just going to spitball that they need to sell something like 10 sets to break even. The drawing time on reproduction plastics is a lot, luckily TM isn't that intricate. Too bad you can't bring the drawings to them, that would at least remove that burden from them but not sure how their license agreements are structured so maybe they can't. Or maybe they don't want to deal with outside designer quality.
