The Series - Are they over? - 04/20/01 07:06 PM
While I was working on the latest R@R update last night I began to wonder about all of the 'series' releases and what the future holds for them. You know, 'The Lady Lightkeepers', 'The Hudson River', 'Bill's Signature Series', 'Gone But Not Forgotten', and 'The Chesapeake Series'.
If these are indeed series, what's the speculation among us on their future? Will there be more editions for them? Are there more candidate lights? I think so, but there doesn't seem to be any demand for them in terms of extending any of these sub-category collection possibilities.
In particular, I think Cape Henlopen is getting mighty lonely in the 'Gone But Not Forgotten' haze. And that's a shame because there are many other deserving lights of yesteryear that could be attractive additions to this series. See the Lefton collection for examples.
Whaddaya think? Is HLs going to add to these series? How should they add pieces? One per year? More? Can't do less I suppose. Or will they just fade away because there hasn't been enough buzz over them among the HL collector fraternity?
Food for thought.
