My Rockland Breakwater came in today and I can assure you it's really well done. From the Breakwater to the rock foundation to the top of the roof and tower it's full of details. Step-ladder, Paint cans, ladder, tool box, crates and lumber; they're all there and well done. I haven't had the opportunity to see the real one yet, but this is like being there. I've had this one on order since I first read about it in these forums and I'm rellay happy to have it. A welcome addition to my growing collection. Well done Harbour Lights!!!

Rockland Breakwater hasn't come in my area as of now and I can't wait to get it. Went on a cruise out of Camden last year and got real close to it for great picture taking. One of my favorites. Guess I'll have to start haunting my dealer!

Hey Bert, who did you buy your Rockland Breakwater from? I haven't received any new pieces from my dealer in a couple of months. I just figured he hadn't received any more new HLs lately. I usually receive a postcard telling me to come on down and pick up the new arrivals. Maybe it's time to give him a call. That's the word from the East Coast where it has been overcast, drizzling, and raining on and off for the better part of the last two weeks. As a matter of fact I cut my present vacation short and came home from Martha's Vineyard yesterday to take a break from the wet conditions, but I hope to head for Block Island tomorrow if the sun comes out. Bob

I know this does not help anyone above, but as of Friday 7/28 there was a Rocland Breakwater sitting on the shelf at Grandma's Country cupboard in Albany, NY. I stopped in while I was in the area to look for items for Retired@ retail. Also, for myself. Had luck for retired @ retail, but not for me. I have a Rockland breakwater coming.

Hello Rockland Breakwater fans. I picked up mine yesterday here in NH. I agree it is a nice piece and am glad to see some of the money going to it's preservation. Did you all get a Rockland cigarette card in with the paperwork as well or did I win some Grand Prize because I had one?

I got a cigarette card with my Rockland Breakwater but it was of a different lighthouse. Did HL make a mistake?

I also received a card with mine, but not the Rockland card. I rreceived the Point Loma card instead. I would have prefered the Rockland Breakwater. Oh Well!!!

Rockland Breakwater was not part of the original 50 Hassan Cigarette cards set, which HL reproduced. I would assume that future releases that are also not part of the set will have a different card included with them too (or perhaps a repro of an old postcard, or photo).

Guess haunting my Harbour Lights dealer paid off! I finally received my Rockland Breakwater. I am pleased with it, except I wish they had added the railing. It just looks a little unfinished without it. The detail is really good. I'm sure it's going to be one of my favorites.
