If you like Anchor Bay ships and live in the Minneapolis area, or have a great deal of trust in your favorite shipper, then you might be interested in a closeout sale I stumbled on the other day.

Robin Lee's Hallmark & Gifts in Brooklyn Center (a northern Minneapolis suburb) is both a HL and an Anchor Bay dealer. While, to all appearances, the HL line is doing fine, I saw that all of their Anchor Bay line was on the sale/closeout table, and selling for HALF PRICE!

I didn't pick any up, limiting myself to huge gross expenditures on the HL pieces, but did notice they had the following:

Skipjack Nancy
Tug Toledo
Lightship Chesapeake
Lightship Huron
Motor yacht Kim

All of these were LE pieces with the crew members.

If you have the interest, you can look up Robin Lee's Hallmark in the Harbour Lights dealer directory on the HL website.
