I don't think HL is making any effort to get their lighthouse collectors to start on balloons. The balloons appear to be more along the lines of really nice giftware than collectibles. I think they will do very well with the concept - the balloons are very colorful and will brighten things up; the bases are neat little mini-displays in their own right; the pricing is good. I hope they do sell well for HL, and maybe can slow down on HL intros with the balloons creating income for them and keeping the factory busy.
