As much as I want to, I really can't share info on upcoming products or
product plans.
To answer someone's earlier question about chrome production, yes, a chrome
part is a "different" part than a non-chrome version of that same part. For
instance, a chrome 1x2 plate starts with a slightly smaller ABS part, and
then the chrome layer is added, which makes it the same size as a non-chrome
ABS version. I'm not totally sure if the part requires an all new mold or
not, but it is additional work to "chrome" a part.
