All three have arrived. Besides the obvious seasonal changes, I noticed that there is a tree stump in the back yard on these three pieces that isn't there on the Spring Piece. They are all very nicely detailed.

I had a message from my dealer when we got back from Rosemont that my Fall and Winter versions are now in!!! After seeing all four together at the show, I like these two the best of the four. They seem to have a little more detail and color than the first two!

Happy Days this weekend after pickup!!!

I suspect that one of the boxes that was delivered to my home yesterday contains the Fall and Winter versions of Fort Tompkins. I have the Spring version on display in my main curio but I probably won't put all four versions on display at the same time.

Bob, you can thank me later for talking you into buying all four versions! They look great sitting side by side each other!

Perhaps the beaver got to the tree in the back yard resulting in a stump?

I can't wait to get the Fall version and check out this piece. C'mon UPS..... Time to charge the credit card again and again!!!!

In my humble opinion, the four Fort Tompkins HL's are the best buy in town. How can you go wrong for fifty-nine bucks each? If I had to judge several HL's and estimate their retail prices, I would say the Fort Tompkins pieces would have been at least $90 each.

I have not put all four out next to each other as of yet. I did just open the boxes for the Fall and Winter versions to make sure they're okay. Fantastic pieces and don't miss the opportunity to get them while you can!

What a fantastic looking set of lighthouses sitting side by side on the same shelf. Even though I hope Harbour Lights does not make the same lighthouse again in the four seasonal versions because of price and space, I think that anyone that does not buy this set of four will be sorry after they are gone. Buy them now and after you get them home I dare anyone to say they are sorry they bought them. The big advantage is now that the four are available, you can look at all four at the same time and you will know in your heart what I am talking about. I think I'm more excited about the four pieces then the rest of 2002's releases.

Just picked up Fort Tompkins Summer, Fall and Winter. Sure am glad that we ordered all four. They sure look great setting together. The one change that stands out on the winter piece is where did the cloths pole go? They must take it in for the winter.

Just picked up Fall and Winter last night. They are a nice addition, and the four of them look great together. However, I'll echo what a few others have said: I hope Harbour Lights doesn't do this again. I like all four pieces, but I'd have been happy with one. I know I had the option to buy just one, but my fiance actually talked me into buying all four (believe it or not). I'd much rather see some nice new GLOWs.

After reading all your posts about Fort Thompkins
I quess I need to go back to my Dealer and get all four. I thought I would just get Fall and
Winter because I liked those best. My Dealer
offered them to me for $175. for the set. After
reading your posts I've decided that's a good
deal!

Harbour Lights went all out on these four. In addition to the obvious seasonal changes have you noticed that the bases and flags are not the same shape? The Tompkins keeper likes to move the bird house or is it the tree? Harbour Lights could have simply made the seasonal changes with paint alone or leaf and no leaf. Instead they have sculpted each one different. Place them side by side and compare the actual sculpting shape of the bases, sidewalk, flags etc. and you will see the easily overlooked hard work they put into this set. WOW!!

I have one bird house out of position too, 3 of them located at 6 o'clock and one located at 9 o"clock. A wonderful piece, and a bargain at the price as someone else pointed out earlier.

AMEN! What a fantastic set and what outstanding detai and what a GREAT price. HL is continuing to amaze me at the prices they are charging and the quality they are giving.
