Can't wait to hear what the Summer releases are. Last year they were announced on June 7th, so the announcement is overdue. Should be anyday now.

Sorry Bob, that one is old Winter release news already.
But I think I heard somewhere that there is a Lens in the Summer releases.

I was wondering the same, so I emailed Tony last week. I also asked if he had a goodtime on the cruise.
Here's his response:
Good Monday Afternoon!
The cruise was fun! I think the majority of the Collectors had a GREAT time!
I am sure you have heard that two 2011 Summer releases were shown on the Cruise:
HL399 Thacher Island/Cape Ann MA $145.00 HL727 2011 Christmas Replica Squaw Island MI $125.00
I would expect to release the remaing Replicas by a Musings mid-july.

Even though the Musing will anounce the realeases in Mid-July, a little birdie told me the releases may not be available until the late August early September timeframe. Hold your horses Loon!
Financially, a September timeframe works for me !!!

A Wisconsin light would be nice! I would always welcome a replica of The "Old" Port Washington light to go with HL373 (Breakwater light) or any other light from this state.....
Call me crazy, but by my calendar, "Mid- July" came and went a few days ago! I don't see what the big deal with HL is, the lights won't be available for months, so why not just say which ones they are? Do they think the 'mystery' boosts sales? Maybe they want more time to reduce the inventory at LHD with their 50% off Sale, which is going on to the end of the month. You think?
I suspect somethings going on with a production issue in China. HL doesn't want to say what the releases are until everything is certain. You know how we CFer's are if something is delayed!!! Just a hunch !!!
I know this isn't the Wishlist forum, but since CAVR posted a wish, here's what I'd like to see:
My guess-o-mit is five more releases in addition to the two we already know.
(1) One of the Duluth Breakwaters, (2) a Michigan shoal light (maybe Lansing Shoal), (3) Something from the Apostle Islands (Michigan Island would be my pick), (4) Something from Lake Onterio(Oswego West Pierhead would be sharp) (5) and of course something from my Jersey wishlish(I'd probably passout from the excitement, but I'm not going to hold my breath). (*) Of course their probably should be a west coast light in there somewhere.

Well, Possibly..... and I also would recommend you NOT hold your breath as it can take months for shipping containers to arrive from CHINA and be sorted while in "Port".
Here's are images of the new releases and I have put close-ups of the HL399 in the The Latest Models Forum... I will be adding close-ups of the others as I get time to shoot them.
Thanks for the pics Paul! Outstanding pics of these great looking pieces.
Good thing I wasn't holding my breath for that illusive Jersey release !!!
