Is this 6 pieces of 2009 releases or just of the summer releases?

I believe it is 6 of the latest June announcement releases Melody, which was a total of 8 new pieces.

HL364 Sabine Pass, LA
HL375 Saginaw River Range, MI
HL376 Haut-Fond Prince, CAN
HL377 Makapu'u, HI
HL378 Pomham Rocks, RI
HL379 San Luis Obispo, CA
HL380 Fastnet Rock, IRE
HL725 Burnt Island, ME (2009 Christmas)

Tony, can you please advise us collectors if the above offer is on the 8 latest HL releases, listed above?

According to HLs, they verified it was only the 2nd half Summer releases. This could be very interesting as Jordan Point could be one of the rarest LEs ever released if it takes buying 6 pieces to get one piece. The edition could be less then 300 pieces figuring in autoship collectors and other collectors that will buy 6 new releases.

I hoping that it is a limited edition of 50!

Seriously, a collectors MUST purchase 6 of the 8 of the latest round of releases! Who is making up these crazy restrictions on stuff.

I think the thrill of the hunt is great and if collectors do buy 6 of the 8, this will be GREAT for Harbour Lights and dealers alike in this very very very sluggish economy that we are ALL experiencing. However, I just think the timing could be better as most people DO NOT HAVE the extra cash!

(Just my 2 cents)

Christopher, you stated the reason HL is doing this, a "very very very sluggish economy".

(IMO) This is a good business move. HL is not a mega company that can wait out the economy until us collectors have some moola again.

HL does think of us collectors, but the survival of there business most come first.

These are the eight pieces that comprise the FREE Jordan Point offer. 6 of the 8 for a freebie. When Tony called me about it, I believe he said the edition size of Jordan was 300 total.

Of course I threw in a Monkey wrench telling him I would like my autoship numbers reserved for my customers since they will be buying all of them. He told me no... but he was still thinking about it when we hung up. Actually, he called me a name too. Wonders why I want to make his life miserable... of course we all have our stations in life.

As for timing... business is business. It's slow out here which makes it slow for him. You can never blame a company for being pro-active.

If it increases our sales... thus his sales, he did good. Remember, if he can't generate a profit for the company, we'll have no Harbour Lights. So just try and keep that in mind. Nobody's forced to buy anything... It's a great incentive for those who do.

Very well stated Terry. At least Tony is out there trying to drum up business. I feel for him because no matter what he does, he catches it from someone.

Terry, You sure opened a can a worms with that request.

My bet is we don't get our autoship number. Similar to the Regional and Society pieces.

I’m with WickyWacky I have bought 10, 2009 piece this year, plus some other year pieces, and now Harbour Lights is saying I must buy 6 more pieces of things I do not want to get to get one I do want. This is not a little amount of money either as these 6 pieces would total to at least $600.00. I think I have been more than supportive of Harbour Lights in these bad economic times. Another business decision like this and in 2010 and I will buy nothing because I will no longer collect. I think Harbour Lights should rethink this promotion to include at least all of 2009.

I can understand everyone's frustration over this special piece that will be given away free to anyone that buys 6 of the 8 summer releases. Remember though that HLs is a business and while they make some happy, they will undoubtably make some unhappy. The choice to buy 6 summer releases is everyone's to make just as the choice to attend a reunion or regional is a choice. I get frustrated over not being able to attend a reunion or a "not within 100 mile" regional because of my wife's serious back problems that will not allow her to spend a night in a strange bed. I'm happy that others are able to attend and don't consider giving up a hobby that I love just because I can't leave her alone.

Sure, HLs should have considered the economy and the impact of having to spend money that you may or may not have and maybe the Spring 2009 issues should have been included in the count, but, guidelines needed to be set and Tony and HLs set the guidelines as they felt was the fairest to all collectors. Considering giving up collecting something you love will not help HLs survive, it will only hamper their survival.

I think the whole idea with the promotion is to get us to buy more, not reward us for what we already buy.

But I did try. I asked Tony if theres a chance their might be a separate promo for the first half releases. I got a simple "No".

Seems we always find something to complain about with Harbour Lights.
As long as that stays true, it means two things:
- Their still in business,
- and their keeping us interested.

Steve (SDudley).. Hope you don't give it up over this promotion. Just think of it as you bought a new car in January and then the same car went on sale in July. Promotions are for new business. Whatever business each of us are in, every day is a new day and we have to find ways to generate new business daily. When I was asked my opinion about this promotion, I pointed out many of the things that would detract that are being mentioned here.... But the point was for new sales. I can't argue that.

Time will tell if it worked. If not, I'm sure another promotion will follow with any remaining pieces.

I will say this. HL is shipping all of the Jordan's directly to the customers to keep us sneaky dealers from finding ways around it. Good move Tony. My minds already working on ways to get Steve one of these:) smile

Here's a thought.....

if you really want to drum up some business by offering a small light as a promotional piece, how about the Jones Point lighthouse!

Collectors have been talking about this for how long now..... of course, then us collectors would be trying to find ways to work with our "Sneaky" dealers to get this much more desirable piece!

HA HA....

I just cancelled my order. I realize HLs is a business but I don't like being given the business. I've supported them from day one and they have just lost any future support. If this is their idea of a promotion, I see it more as a demotion. One of the things I liked about The Youngers was fair treatment for all. I'll say it again-THIS STINKS.

If someone gets the Jordan Point and for some reason does not want it, I would be willing to pay something for it, I just can not afford to buy 6 lighthouses to get it.

Good Tuesday Morning!

Let me put perspective into this 2009 Summer Release Promotion!

These are tough times for our Dealers. In-store "traffic" is at an all time low; even the most faithful of Harbour Lights' Collectors have slowed down their purchases, this past year. We (Harbour Lights) have a responsibility to our Dealers "to drive" business into their stores!

As we were developing the 2010 line up, i discussed with our team the concerns that many of our Dealers have about the slow down in sales. We thought of several ideas that nay create some excitiment, something that would create a second look at What's new? Add it all up a special limited edtion was born - HL 805 Jordan Point VA! Remember HL 805 Jordan Point is not being sold through our Dealers -it is available only through this special promotion!

Why the 2009 Summer Release - to put an emphasios on what's new!

I have checked around with several of my "collectible peers" this is the first time any could remember a limited edtion be used as a "Gift with Purchase"!

Perhaps we could have designed the program in some different manner - but the program stands. It is fair, well managed and could provide the imputus for future promotions.

On Monday, I heard from two Dealers, who because of this promotion were able to increse several orders!

I do want to address the concern of some that Harbour Lights is being managed like a business.
It is a business and like any other business, we are responsible for making a profit.In today's collectible market making a profit is very difficult! Dealers are closing "fast and furiously" and the intensity of collecting has diminished.

Promotions such as Jordan Point VA may cause controversy; I see that as healthy!

And by the way, I have seen the first completed 2010 Replica - all I can say is "UNREAL"!

Please call me 800.365.1219 with your gripes, groans and cheers! I am always willing to listen.

Tony C.

I certainly understand the economics of the business. However, there are various ways to move sales. Buy 6 of 8 and get a 20% rebate.
Buy 6 of 8 and get a one free. Buy 6 of 8 and get next year's Collector's Society piece and membership free. The one unique thing about collecting Harbour Lights is that we are dealing with "real life" replicas, not fantasy creations. There are many people who wait years to obtain a particular piece, I waited 10 years to get Point Vicente (frankly, the sculpture with its ridiculously tiny tower was not worth the wait). To expect someone to buy 6 pieces at all time high HL prices to get this particular piece is really not the greatest of marketing ideas. Frankly, if someone buys 6 of 8 of this summer's releases, you ought to give them an "original" Coquille free!

To express my views on this subject. I shall simply tell my actions.

I had put in an order with my dealer for 4 of these Summer Releases. On Sat. I contacted him to add 2 more! Do I need to say more?

This is a healthy discussion. It gives Harbour Lights (Tony AND Don) direct feedback on an almost instantaneous basis.

These are tough times for collectibles -- both the manufacturer and dealer AND the collector.

Some loyal long-time collectors feel they should receive a reward for sticking with the product for so long. I understand that position.

Keep your comments coming. But keep your options open. Talk to your dealer about your concerns. They will give their feedback to Harbour Lights.

Tony has invited you to call him. Please make that call before you make a final decision -- either way. He needs to hear the 'positive' and the 'negative.'

Give him a call.

Pieces are smaller because of the cost of raw materials and labor. We can't get HLs for the same price they were 2-3 years ago when we were paying a buck a gallon for gas and now we are paying almost $3 a gallon.

Just returned from Oak Island and my favorite, Bald Head. Haven't lost my love for lighthouses. I've read Tony's response and having been in business I know you can't close the door on ALL or ANY opportunities. I also know when times are tough you rely on your "core base of customers." It's akin to me giving out a "free" dinner with your purchase of a $555.00 bottle of champagne. First of all NOTHING IS FREE. If I have to spend $555.00 ( cost of 6 summer limited editions) to get a "free" one, after I've spent at least that much for the January releases and got "NOTHING",
well it just tells me what us hard core collectors who purchased during the worst sale months of the year (January - May) are worth. So, therefore, I have to spend $1000.00. What Harbour Lights needs to consider is those that SHOWED THEIR SUPPORT. Nothing is cast in stone or in this case print(MUSINGS). In closing, this is, "IT STINKS #3".

Is there a limit? If I buy 12 new releases, can I get 2 Jordan Points?

This may be one of the rarest HL's ever!

Since I'm already buying 8 what's 4 more. I can use the extra 4 pieces for gifts or have a club raffle.

I have no problem with the promotion concept. Businesses do this kind of thing all the time.
You need to find ways to generate traffic at the retail level.

To me, the unfortunate part of the promotion is not spreading it over the whole year. As noted by other collector's, many of us purchased from the 2009 Winter releases because they were ones we wanted. We personally bought 5. Now, becauase the summer release doesn't have lights that interest us, we either have to buy lights we don't want to get Jordan Point or pass on a light we do want.

As Tony himself noted, traffic and sales at retail stores have slowed. For my wife and me personally, we can only afford to collect lights we have seen or are one of the special editions.
Since the summer release only has three that fit our criteria, we will have to pass on getting Jordan Point.

In any case, Harbour Lights has to do what it feels is necessary to support their dealers. If this helps them, that is great. Has it upset some of the "hard-core" collectors? Obviously. Can we all express on opinions here without fear of back-biting, etc? I hope so.

I would suspect we all owe a debt of gratitude to the successors of the Younger and Associates business; I can't imagine this business generates much profit, if any. Reducing LE editions sizes down to just above 1,000 compared to years when the business sometimes sold out at 10,000 LE pieces makes you wonder about the economic feasibility of this whole collectible line.

If the promotion, as designed, generates needed cash flow to both the "home office" and local dealers now, then I guess it is worth a try.

One comment to Don Devine, though... Your primary business is considered at the "very top" for marketing.. great catalog, great website, great selection, great concept. Can you explain why there is not a single summer release shown on the "harbourlights.com" website.?? (this is not a slam against that site's webmaster who has done more than his share to promote harbour lights over the years). Can't someone who works in Maine for LD handle this responsibility a couple times a year??

You know if you don't put your product in the "display case" you aren't going to sell anything...

Am I mising something? I can't even find the color ad listing the new lighthouses. My dealer hasn't seen anything either so now I am wondering where I saw them. They aren't on the HL website.

I discovered where I had seen the 2009 new releases. It was on the cover of the Lighthouse Depot catalog. That is the only place I can recall seeing the new offerings. Too bad HL doesn't get them up on the website.

What's that sound?

I think it might be the sound of a freighter arriving in Wells, Maine with the first batch of summer releases !!!

I have six of eight on order, I don't know about arrival dates. How do I get the promotion piece or is this accounting action taken automaticaly at HL and I do nothing except purchase the six?

I believe for each new summer release piece you buy you will get a certificate that you send to HLs along with a copy of your receipt from the store you bought it at. When HLs receives the proof that you bought 6 new summer releases, they will send the promotion piece directly to you.

Update: Just got an email from my local HL dealer. The regional pieces have arrived.

Got my Tybee Cut Ranges today, as well as Makapu'u, Burnt Island, Haut Fond Prince and San Luis Obispo. It really is amazing how these pieces seem to get better with each release! I love Burnt Island! It's probably the one that exceeded my expectations the most. That's hard to do because I've become accustomed to Harry's great work and should know better!
Bravo!!!

I talked to Tony on Tuesday and one of the questions that I asked was if he wanted the 6 individual cards sent in separately or all at the same time. He preferred that the cards be sent in at one time along with a copy of each receipt. I thought I would pass this along to all concerned.

I was going to just send in one card with six boxes checked off and include copies of my sales receipts.

Tony said that will work also. They just prefer that individual cards/receipts are not sent in each time a piece is bought.

I picked the regional piece, Tybee Cut Front Range, today. Looks great !!!

My HL dealer did receive his Collector Society piece, West Chop, for his store display. Looks great as well. Hopefully CS members who ordered the West Chop piece will get their piece soon.
