Need Some Feedback

In talking to Chris at The Collector's World Store I was told that any of the Limited Edition lighthouses between July 2008 and June 2009 had a production quantity of only 550 instead of the planned production run of 1200. Chris also said that all the lighthouses produced between July 2009 and when Harbour Lights finished production in Dec. 2011 only had 350 produced of each one instead of the 1200 planned for.

I would be interested in knowing if anyone has a serial number larger then 550 for HL355 thru HL364. I also would like to know if anyone has a serial number greater then 350 for HL365 thru HL399 and for HL836 and HL837.

If there are no serial numbers greater the the 350 and 550 that would explain not seeing them pop up on Ebay and I could make the correction in my HL Product List for the Revision 2 coming out in the fall.

All I need to know for any of the HL Product Numers above is the serial number if it is greater then the 350 or 550. You can reply in this post or send me an email to flacoastie@embarqmail.com

The last Christmas piece or 2 pieces were the exception

Rich , one of the forum members received a email that since the Port Pontchartrain and North-Point-Wisconsin were the last once to be produced that there was only 250 made. I think I mentioned this to you, but we never made the change.

Forum member recieves email that the last two LE only had a production of 250

Rich, I went through my DB checking the ranges you asked about. Here is what I found:
359 - #932
365 - #483
367 - #453
370 - #534
372 - #368
380 - #518
381 - #414
384 - #380
390 - #480

Hope this helps.

Rich, these are pieces I own,
These exceed the 350 and 550 numbers

HL 355 Waukegan Harbor IL #879
HL 356 Crown Point NY #915
HL 358 Windmill Point VT #652
HL 359 Bristol Ferry RI #613



HL 374 Frank's Island LA #539
HL 378 Ponham Rocks, Ri. #355
HL 387 14 mile point, MI # 354
HL 389 Key Largo, Fl. #365
HL 395 Alligator Reef, Florida. #388

HL 726 Sturgeon Point, MI 2010 #699
HL 727 Squaw Island MI 2011 #745

Thank you everyone that responded. These responses make me believe that Chris was wrong about the figures I asked about.

I still need to hear more on the last pieces from HL396 thru HL399 and HL 836 and HL837. Does anyone have serial numbers above 550 for HL365 thru HL399 or 350 for HL396 thru HL399 and above 250 for HL836 and HL837?

If I hear about those pieces having higher serial numbers then I will put Chris's theory to bed.

Here is another one for you Rich
The HL 804 2009 In-Store Event Replica Duxbury Pier Ma is limited to (500) pieces!

HL 804 limited to 500

Thanks Daniel for the links to HL836 and HL837 only having 250 made. I will make the change. Also, thats for the link about HL804 only having 500 made. This will also be changed.

I'm still hoping to get feedback concerning HL365 thru HL399. It definately appears that 550 made might be the correct number since 2 or 3 already have that number in Harbour Lights Product listing.

It appears to be a sure thing about HL355 thru HL364 going the full production run of 1200 instead of the 550 that Chris talked about. We already know that HL365 thru HL399 had more then the 350 produced that Chris also talked about and now if I can get some feedback on numbers over 550 we can also put that theory to bed.

Rich,
I have nothing in my inventory for lighthouses in that range that have a higher flag number than #381. That was the highest flag number of all of my standing orders I received when new releases were shipped to me. The ones listed as 380 are the highest flags of what I have left, but I did receive 381's for those.
381's include HL366, 369, 372, 375(flag 380), 376, 381(flag 380), 382, 383(flag 380), 386(flag 380).

The missing lighthouses are sold out of my physical inventory, but they also had flag #'s of 381.

Thanks Roland. I still need to hear from someone having serial numbers over 550 on any of the HL365 thru HL399. Can someone out there please let me know?

Surely there is someone out there that has read this request but hasn't taken the time to check their inventory or lighthouses for their serial numbers. I'm just asking for HL365 thru HL399 and their serial numbers IF THEY ARE OVER 550. It will only take a minute and it will help me make the Revision 2 2013 Harbour Lights Product List more correct. If you don't want to list your serial numbers over 550 here on the Forums then send an email to flacoastie@embarqmail.com to give me the information.

Perhaps noone is answering because noone has a number over 550, Rich. If you ask people to give you their numbers, no matter what they are, you can be sure people are reading this post and are willing to help. Can't get upset with people if they don't have what you're looking for!

Roland - I'm not getting upset at all. I just know that sometimes I procratinate and figure someone else will do it. Sort of like calling the power company to report the power is out. The last time we had our power go out in my neighborhood with 65 houses, only 3 people called. I don't expect anyone to have any over 550 but want to make doubly sure.

"Rich , one of the forum members received a email that since the Port Pontchartrain and North Point Wisconsin were the last ones to be produced that there was only 250 made. I think I mentioned this to you, but we never made the change."

Well, so much for the above statement. Today I got an email from a collector that say he has a HL836 S/N 253. Is this a fluke or were there actually more then 250 produced?

My Port Pontchartrain and North Point, Wisconsin pieces are both #395.

I will check on the rest as soon as I get a chance.
