What is the benefit of manufacturing old/classic car parts when people can clearly buy better/more modern cars in this day and age?

Also I don't think re-manufacturing an NES would cost very much. The plastic components can be made for whatever it costs to make kids toys/lunch boxes of the same size. And as far as the electronic parts go, those could easily be the size of a thimble now, given that digital watches are more complicated then an NES.
