Well erniedee, that actually leaves two: Sombrero Key and Alligator. Ironically one of these two are the best candidates for tours if we can ever get that far.

I am also pushing for some Little Lights of Mine of the reef lights, however, was told no new Little Light of Mine this year.

By the way are you a member of the Florida Keys Reef Lights Foundation yet? We are just getting re-organized and could use some help. Let me know if you are interested (I am in Orlando).

You're right Eric, I forgot Sombrero Key.
That makes 7 Florida lights yet to be done (if you count Mt. Dora and Tierra Verde).
I'll be getting membership this year.

From what I hear there is going to be 32 releases this year, barring any production problems like last year. I don't know if last years production problems pieces are included in the 32 count. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I did hear that we will see some limited LLOM's this year, but they aren't included in the 32.

32, 32, 32?!?!?! I'll either have to be very selective or take-out a 2nd mortgage.

Thirty-two new releases sounds like a lot in one year. Are you sure that number is correct? I thought Harbour Lights was cutting down on the number of new releases to give collectors a (financial) breather.

Loon - Where in the world did you come up with a number like 32 releases? Even in 1997 when HLs was in their heyday they only had 44 releases that included 6 ABs, 8 GLOWS, 1 Society piece, 1 In-store piece, 2 Reunion pieces, 19 LEs, 5 ornaments, Christmas Piece and Spyglass Collection(Counted as 1 piece). Please gives us your breakdown that you hear is coming. I may be giving up the ghost because of running out of room earlier then I expected.

Sorry didn't mean to get everybody too excited, but I have to say that's the most life I've seen around here in months.

First off, we would have had 32 releases last year if it wasn't for a production problem. I now know that included a Mark Sherman print as well.

But if you read Tony's post from yesterday, you would have known this already.

Read This

What's interesting is this total doesn't include LLOM's and probably only a couple GLOWs.

I agree 32 sounds high without any LLOM's includes and not many GLOWs either. Even if there's 20 or 21 LE's, plus last years Louisiana Grand Tour release, we're still about 7 or 8 short of 32. (I'm assuming a few GLOWs)

I guess we'll have to wait and see what unfolds this year.

For us who buy them all the cost may be hard to deal with, but maybe one or two will be a rare variation, or maybe we'll see a lightning rod again. What about the rare limited 500 store event piece?

For those that only buy a select few, that temptation might be there to buy a couple additional pieces because the selection is greater.

As for if the 32 include Limited LLOM's or not, I guess I heard that somewhere else.
