Just another start up company using an established name. It's just
another example of badge branding.

Possibly a name firmly associated with expensive toys for boys that
no-one purchased rather than ethos of original company when they first
started. Some of the comments about the article suggest that they are
not competitive on price for items that can can be obtained easily
elsewhere.
