Sean hit the nail on the head a while ago. The new series (This little light of mine) is not aimed at the collectors. It is aimed at the tourist who wants a quality souvenir or at a casual purchaser. What you want to hope for is that the purchaser will enjoy their lighthouse purchase and look for more products by the same company. This would lead them to the HL LE models and probably a new collector.

Don't plan on trying to collect all the new mini's. If you see one you like, buy it.
