Good Monday Morning!
Ok from the useless "information bin"; the number of pieces in a 20' or 40' containers always varies! Some SKU's are packed 12 per carton, while others are 8 per carton and some LLOM are 60v per carton! Sometimes a container is not fully loaded or in some cases, you cannot fit a pencil in the container, it is so full!
When a new limited edition is released, the first order is about 550 pieces and any of the more than 1000 Dealers nation wide can place an order!
The number of Replicas in the "auto-ship" is privileged corporate information! As the individual, who introduced the "auto-ship' into the collectible industry, it is unfortunate that Harbour Lights is the last collectible resource to "auto-ship”.
The number of Collectible Dealers in the United States is steadily decreasing! Why? Simply eBay! The electronic store has killed the collectible industry. This was an industry built on "CPR" "Close Personal Relationships”, when I started 27 years ago, most dealers had a MI Hummel "Expert" on their payroll or an individual, who knew Harbour Lights from A-Z, most of those Dealers are long gone! The tastes of a new generation, the result of too many too fast and limited editions in the 10,0000 have changed the collectible industry!
Will it change? I believe so ... good quality product always wins out!
