That means that dealers can order more of them until then. Some will have been retired after having all 9500 ordered by dealers, and others will be retired before the full edition run. In the article Harbour Lights explains their reasoning for the early retirements. This month window for dealers gives them time to order some before the end of the year. Stores that are near certain lighthouses will probably stock up a little on the area lighthouses. This also will mean that the Lady Lighthouse Keepers set will all now be retired with HL170 Point Pinos, HL 171 Saugerties, HL173 Matinicus Rock and HL174 Ida Lewis joining HL172 Chatham which was retired early 11/12/98 with the roofline problem.
