Okay, I weakened...I took Roanoke out of the box to look it over. The first thing that caught my eye was the very unusual coloring on the base (water, sand, etc). I like that! I would imagine such a mixture of colors would make each Roanoke a wee bit different than another.

The light itself is a real beauty. The only thing I didn't get too excited over are the pilings under the building. They don't look realistic. They are too smooth and "plastic looking".

Overall this light is a definite keeper and a very welcome addition to my collection. By the way, this one is numbered #87 without the two preceding zeros.
