Here's a few inquiries into your personal feelings about what new releases you may or may not purchase in 2003.

We're getting some very interesting statistics from this poll. Make sure you check them out.

I wonder if the folks at Harbour Lights check these polls out?

I hope they check it out Bob! It's a very interesting poll! I have talked with many people over the years that only collect the ones that they have visited. I would have thought that number would be higher! I guess they didn't vote or don't visit this website!

It's some interesting results, but there are some aspects of collecting that are hard to poll.
I usually collect pieces of sites I have visited, but some ligths are hard to "visit", e.g., LA Harbor, so I'll count getting close enough to take a picture. Also, HL sent us the Hatteras Beacon and no one living has ever seen it. Imagine how fast the second Hatteras light would sell. On edition size, I like it when just enough are produced for me to get one then they can stop, it may be more or less than 5500. As to versions per year, if HL makes too many, my kids will have to go to a cheaper college, but their rooms will be decorated like lighthouse heaven.

I think everyone starts with the ones they climbed or visited, Randy. That soon changes, and the you go for area, Christmas releases, ones you want to visit, etc.

Gee, Bob....you know my buying habits pretty well
