I'm glad to see that others feel the same way about CSC lights-I do not care for the vibrant colors, cutesie-ness, poor scale. I first saw HL and was amazed by the detail of each piece. They are miniatures of the real thing. The only thing slightly cutesie is the seahorse, which I really like anyway. Kinda a fun touch to a serious piece. I saw CSC lights when I visited NY and someone said-"hey look-HLs!" knowing I was collecting them and wacko about them. I looked and my impression was that they were HL knock-offs! Terrible, but true. I guess CSC was actually first, but I didn't know that at the time. I'm hooked on HL all the way-no other LH collectible will do (although I do have Lefton nightlights-I just thought LH nightlights were cool.)
