Got a call yesterday morning from my dealer that #315 Herford Inlet had arrrived. I stopped by over lunch to look at, but will not pick it up till Sunday when I can have it signed by Bill at the Hightower Collectables store signing. I didn't look at it in much detail, but it looks like it is very detaialed and the color is different than the existing piece. I'm not sure why they made this one, when they already have one that has been produced, but I'll have the opportunity to ask tomorrow.

Dick,

PLEASE remember to ask. Also, is this another "Four Seasons" approach to increase revenue and reduce costs? If so, why not Easter, Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Groundhog Day, New Year's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Valentine's Day, Presidents' Day and Martin Luther King's Birthday?

I received my #315 Herford Inlet today. Nice, but not WOW. Also received my Christmas Bodie Island. Also rather lackluster. I'm on autoship, but it's numbered #3169 and NOT #111. Harbour Lights should be a tad more careful.
