Thank GOD those two pieces retired. It was painful watching them languish (a la North Head and Cape Blanco) on the shelves. Can we expect a forced retirement on Brant Point and Selkirk in the near-future?? I hope so.

IMHO, I think Harbour Lights should impose a mandatory retirement after, say, 3 years, regardless of the number sold. The edition limit of 10,000 (or whatever) would simply be a MAXIMUM that the company is allowed to produce.

The result? Greater demand as the 3-year limit approaches, and faster turnover of pieces on the shelves (not to mention a little less dust on the display pieces). Best of all, the "ugly ducklings" (i.e. Wind Point) would enjoy at least a little clout as a collectible.

With the proliferation of GLOWS and lack of 'natural' retirements, I think this is the kind of 'shot in the arm' the company needs at the moment. They've made a wise decision with Round Island and Wind Point. IMHO they need to take it a step further and "close out" the other '95s.
