I certainly understand the economics of the business. However, there are various ways to move sales. Buy 6 of 8 and get a 20% rebate.
Buy 6 of 8 and get a one free. Buy 6 of 8 and get next year's Collector's Society piece and membership free. The one unique thing about collecting Harbour Lights is that we are dealing with "real life" replicas, not fantasy creations. There are many people who wait years to obtain a particular piece, I waited 10 years to get Point Vicente (frankly, the sculpture with its ridiculously tiny tower was not worth the wait). To expect someone to buy 6 pieces at all time high HL prices to get this particular piece is really not the greatest of marketing ideas. Frankly, if someone buys 6 of 8 of this summer's releases, you ought to give them an "original" Coquille free!
