Definitely NO. I started collecting them, in 1998, because of their realism. Some of the older HLs look very little like the actual lighthouses. Grosse Point for example. Now I'm not saying I'd pass up a good price on a piece I don't have, but I wouldn't spend a mint to get one either. I'd just go out and buy the GLOW. wink And smile in the general direction of a certain Floridian.
