I fear that the demand for new bugs has dropped quite a bit.
With the recent demise of martime CW, there are few commercial ops,
who often used bugs, left. The majority of hams are now used to
electronic keyers.
In any event, I suspect that the "new" Vibroplex company is pricing
themselves out of business. Doesn't a new iambic paddle run over $175???
Also isn't the "original" bug now priced over $200??
You can buy a new Bencher paddle for half the price....
