I'm not happy these are now for sale to anyone, and at discounted prices, but maybe there are only a dozen or so of each left over from that years shipment.

Maybe they should have destroyed the extras, but maybe here's a chance for previous Society members to get another chance at these. Sounds like the reason the West Chop is backordered is to avoid another CS piece to have stock left in the warehouse.

I'm not saying this is right. I'm bummed too. I've paid my membership dues and paid full price for the CS exclusive on all of these. And add I bought my Taney set and Old North Church at full price as well.

I think HL is trying to avoid this going forward. Look at last years Christmas piece.
