The first 'Event' piece was Sunken Rock, NY - brought to market in 1996. The counts for the first three event editions have been pretty consistent:

1996 Sunken Rock NY $25 8,132
1997 Edgartown MA $35 8,008
1998 Roosevelt Island NY $30 7,884

I'm very surprised at the consistent quantities over 3 years. I do not have any information on the number of store events held in each year, but I suspect that since Rep Events started in 1997 (I think), the number of events grows each year.

At $25-$35 each, the 'Event Editions' were kind of like the 'popcorn' of the line. It was affordable to buy 3-4-5, whether for friends, as gifts, or to stash for later profit-taking.

Now comes Kilauea HI for 1999 - $70 each. A beautiful piece, but 2-3 times the cost of the previous issues. Located in Hawaii - a tourist destination, to be sure, but few except us WACKOs would think of a lighthouse sculpture as an appropriate 'remembrance' of their Hawaiian vacation (and not available to purchase in Hawaii except for one day and in one place.)

What does everyone think in terms of how many Kilauea HI will be sold?
