Anchor Bay pieces just plain don't sell in this area of Michigan no matter what the piece. All of the local dealers still have the lightships available and only one dealer still has them for full price. Most dealers have them selling for 50% off.

Personally, I feel it is not so much what style of vessel is created (although the USCG vessels seem to have a great response), but rather the price. $170.00 is a lot for people to shell out for one piece. Maybe by eliminating the display case, prices can be lowered increasing sales. Time will tell.

Just a theory....
