Fraid not. I asked the rep who was at the signing event in Horseheads, NY last Saturday. He said he had the info out in his car and offered to go get it. I told him not to bother as he was busy talking with collectors.

Further to my earlier post concerning Rockland Breakwater & Eagle Bluff: upon arrival at the dealer today, I noticed they'd received not only the autoships of the above pieces but the bulk of their follow-on shipment as well. For Jax-area collectors, at least, this is good news as there's no waiting!! Also included in this shipment was the Cape May GLOW and Hatteras on the move (for the upcoming in-store Event with Bill).

My wife and I had gone into our usual collectible place today, mainly looking for a few new pieces for our Roman Angel Nativity Set. When we got there, I was suprised to see that they had received their auto-ships of Rockland Breakwater, Cape May, and Eagle Bluff. Now, we (my wife and I) had had a discussion earlier in the month as to what new HL LE pieces we would like to get when they come out. ie La Martre, Hereford Inlet, and the Sisters pieces. Well, after seeing the way that Eagle Bluff looked, we decided we had to have it. Now granted, this piece looks similar to White River, and it doesn't have all the detail that White River has, but it was still striking enough to catch our eyes. It looks great beside all of our other HL pieces. Actually, it's about time for us to break down and purchase a Curio. Need something to display these in instead of having them scattered around the house.
Anyhow, as far as the Cape May and Rockford pieces go, we have decided to pass on those. Cape may looked kind of plain to us, while the Rockford piece just didn't "speak" to us. Mind you, the detail on Rockford was great, but with the dull colors, it just seemed kind of plain to us. I know that MrHarnsberger's reviews of these pieces differ from what I think, but to each their own I guess. I guess as long as we all collect the pieces that "speak" to us, we'll all be happy. I know that my wife and I are really looking forward to the release of La Martre, Hereford, and Sisters. Those "spoke" to us the minute we saw the pictures.

Rockland Breakwater has finally arrived in the Clearwater area of Florida and I was so glad to get it! It looks exactly like the real one except that it doesn't have the railing. It's been one of my favorites for years. It is the first lighthouse that I saw as a child when my family was in Rockland on vacation, so it's special.
