How can there be any new 2012 releases if somebody can't even come up with the cash to "COD" the new product from CHINA. I can't blame China for this one. Heck, you would think at 60% off retail and perhaps 80% off next week, that enough money would be gathered....
Perhaps, there is still hope and the new 2012 pieces are sitting in some cargo container in a huge ship yard in Hong Kong waiting to be loaded upon payment.... but I doubt it!
Harry may have made the masters of the 2012 pieces for the factory, but I don't think 1 piece has ever been made or will ever be made. Is there even confirmation that Harry even works for HLs anymore?
I think the Summer 2011 pieces and the 2011 Christmas piece was the final production for HLs.

Just got back fron Maine. We stopped by the Lighthouse Depot for probably the last time. For sale or lease signs are up in front. Not much left in the store, not many customers and when I asked when they were closing the answer I got was " They haven't told us yet". The upstairs is closed and the downstairs doesn't have much - mostly what is left is of the Harbour Lights remaining inventory. Sad to see such a great store come to an end, but its days are numbered.

"That must have been a real sureal experience, Mike! " Sure was. My wife and I have a lot of memories there in that store. All the good times we spent with Tim and Kathy before they moved to "Upeast Maine".

The question I've asked before I never got an answer for - what about the museum Tim had in, I think it was, the building next door to the store? Is that gone, moved? I was only there once, the year Maine had the large lighthouses at various places, including at least one out front of the Depot. My daughter and I checked out the museum as well as the store. And ate at the diner across the road, busy place.

The Museum has been gone for quite a while, the building was used for sale items for a while.. I suspect a lot of the pieces from the Museum are up in Rockport now.. Tim is located way up the coast in Cutler, Maine just about 20 miles from Lubec, Maine and the Canadian border..

This is from the American Lighthouse Foundation website:
American Lighthouse Foundation & Maine Lighthouse Museum Formed one of the Largest Lighthouse Museums in the United States... Sometimes joining forces to attain greater strength in numbers and access to more resources in conserving our nation’s rich lighthouse heritage simply makes the most sense.
Such was the case when the American Lighthouse Foundation (ALF) consolidated the artifact collection of the Museum of Lighthouse History, formerly of Wells, Maine, within the collections of the Maine Lighthouse Museum (MLM) in Rockland, Maine during spring 2007.
The consolidation was completed on April 19, 2007, with a fine representation of each collection placed on exhibit and opened to the general public for visitation two weeks later on May 5, 2007.
The consolidation of the ALF & MLM collections created one of the largest lighthouse museums in the United States, thanks to the efforts of the late Ken Black who founded the Maine Lighthouse Museum, and the American Lighthouse Foundation and its founding president Timothy Harrison, who spearheaded the creation of the former Museum of Lighthouse History.

I noticed that Lighthouse Depot now has about 10 different Harbour Lights selling for only $7.00 each and a bunch of others for $12 -$14. I believe the end is very near. These are not LLOM.

Rhonda told me late last March to "expect an announcement next quarter."
That quarter has come and gone. No announcement. Guess it will have to wait until the very last piece of inventory is sold.
