HLs going out of business really doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. Not only was it making me sick to my stomach to pay retail for a piece to keep my autoship number and then have it discounted on Ebay a month or two later, but, I was going to have to buy another curio to store them in. The prices had also slowly creeped up too.

I've been concentrating and spending my money on the variations and enjoying buying these more then the new issues. I've always liked the earlier issues more and now have almost a complete collection of these pieces.
