The best classic would be a return of the iconic Drueke Players Choice set. A return in plastic form is what I would like to see. HoS did an awesome wooden version but is kinda light compared to the original.
I do have a variation of this set that is currently made. Although it doesn't go by the name of Players Choice nor is it made by the Drueke/Carrom company.
I think there's something to be said for thicker pieces. The set from the 1886 championship in New York would be a great set to bring back.
No one makes a decent 4" Lardy repro set. Vintage ones show up few and far between on eBay in the $350 range. And even then, you'll be dealing with the leans. I'd be more than happy to purchase a modern repro over vintage just to not have to deal with the leaning pieces due to the garbage wood they used when they were cranking out the sets for export back in the day.
There are different carvings throughout the years. I find the one below to be the most pleasing and Lardy-esque when someone thinks of Lardy.

Interesting...people were asking for 15" silicone. Will need to price out 15" mousepads instead.
@ShelbyLohrman For me personally, a 14-15" silicone board is useful for compact travel, lunch break and backpacking. Silicone is durable, waterproof and stainproof.
The mousepad polyester material will stain too easily when using it outdoors and tables with food, drink, coffee, etc. A 14-15" mousepad would be perfect for indoor, at-home analysis though. I might get one of those too!
If there's not enough interest in the silicone, it's fine, there is one product available which I previously linked to in Post #15. No biggie.

All synthetic material has different performance ;
Silicon is good for outdoor play, even specially non-felted (wood) pieces. Indoor it's catastrophic, for electric-statical charge it pull in too easy all kind of dust, animal hairs etc.
Vinyl is the best option for indoor in combination with weighted plastic pieces and
Mousepad is fine with felted wood pieces.
But nothing comes even close to a wooden board. 
Being relatively new it seems his website is undergoing some changes... All you have to do is go to the home page and go from there ( I found them easily enough that way). According to earlier info the sets will be available in June

Yeah I read those comments too. Quite a few I must say, more then any other set mentioned I think.
+5. I would also be interested in a solid, quadruple weighted plastic Dubrovnik set!
True it cost a lot to start it going, but then again you would be the only manufacturer/seller with high quality triple weighted plastic Dubrovnik set.
Consider almost every seller, even the little ones on Etsy, has a Dubrovnik line, it must say something about the popularity right?
Count me in for a plastic Dubrovnik set or two. I'll wait
Not I.... I've recently warmed to the Dubrovnik style and it's all about the wood. Wood gives it its unique character that plastic never could
Even though there are 2 plastic Dubrovnik sets already on the market for $16 USD (photos below), a high-end plastic, well molded, Dubrovnik set with the new weighting system is a definite BUY for me. Charge the same $45 USD as the Ultimates. It'll sell just as well.
I bought the tan colored one, the weighting is all over the place and it's 600g instead of advertised 900g. They are filled with paraffin wax, they were filled when the pieces were hold upside down so all the wax were mostly from the middle to the top. Some of the sealing were cracked so I can see when the pieces are in hot place, the wax will melt and coming through the cracked sealing into the thin felts.
They still sell well though as they're the only one that offers reasonable good looking plastic Dub sets.

Going by Shelby's estimates, chessgamesshop may have paid roughly $30,000 USD for those 2 Dubrovnik molds. They have to sell a literal TON of them to make back their investment and then turn a profit. I'm not surprised they skimped on everything else trying to squeeze out profit. The bases don't even match. LOL
@TheOneCalledMichael Have you posted a review w/pics about your plastic Dubrovnik set from ChessGamesShop on the forum? It's worth writing/reading about, even if it's garbage quality. As a warning to others who might be interested. Although for $16 USD, potential customers already have an idea of the quality.
