For someone who is just getting started collecting these lighthouses, it is a buyers market! Just look in The Marketplace. Two people are selling their whole collection, and others selling at 40 to 50% off of retail. I was in two stores recently and both had pieces at 40% off of retail. One store had about 5 to 6 pieces discounted and the other had over 15 pieces discounted. It makes me wonder if I should wait before I buy the new pieces.(NOT!) Lower numbered editions will help move pieces off the shelves, but I guess store owners need to move the old stock to make room for the new!
