Why would he show you something like that (especially @ SEMA) and not have one to offer?
Most all the companies show items that will not launch till January or even later. SEMA happens once a year, so you have to show your new stuff whether you want to launch or not. Otherwise you wait a whole year. Meguiars is a good example, they show new stuff at SEMA and it is usually available in January of the next year. SEMA is not a show for retail selling, it's for vendors to get with other vendors in the industry.
... I've been handing out your info for people interested in CQuartz Finest in the St. Louis area. Hopefully they'll actually follow up with you at some point if they haven't already!

That is one of the WORST parts of Auto Shows and Tech Shows. (Even though I still love them). Demo cool, awesome new products that won't come out for months or that we'll never see!
2 or 3 years ago MSI(?) demoed an awesome thunderbolt based external graphics card adapter for Apple laptops. For those of us who prefer the smaller 13" platform it seemed like a dream come true as we could get desktop GPU performance out of our little machines when needed. I'm still waiting! I'm in line to buy it! I want one! It'll probably never come out though. Like the smartphone I saw at a tech show a decade ago that ran Windows XP.
Okay, so a pen light is not exactly the end of the world if that never comes out.. BUT... I'm sure there is a lot of cool stuff at SEMA that we will NEVER see in production.
2014 Ford Focus SE Sport | 2014 Ford Mustang V6 Premium Convertible | 2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Vaquero ABS SE | 2011 Honda Shadow 750 Aero
I don't have any specifics... Marco pulled it out of his pocket, let me test it out and I like it. I want one. Even if I never find out the specifics I like it.
