John... I'm confused with this particular comment...

"Find a dealer who knows how many they will receive, and who knows how many they have already committed to collectors and offer a deposit for one of their remaining ones.

I contacted among others, Lighthouse Gallery and Lighthouse Depot. I was told by them that they do not know how many Fresnel pieces they will receive. According to Cindy at Lighthouse Gallery, "We have been told many different things by the staff at HL. One minute we are told that no autoships will take place, then they will, then we may not receive all of our autoship." Considering these are two of the largest HL distributors that I know, are there any others out there who do know what they will receive?

Tim - Adding to the confusion...
