Randy, Your not in the minority. While I do not favor the 4 versions of Ft Thompkins and wish they had not done it (I would have preferred a different lighthouse from each region) I will still buy all 4 versions this time. Any time HL comes up with a new idea on how to improve things or a new piece such as the Fresnel Lens, it's a winner and increases in value many times over. I think whoever decides not to get the original 4 pieces of Ft Thompkins may be sorry later on. Now if HL decides to do this every year that may be a different story as I will fast run out of room and probably would not buy but one piece and that would be from the southern region. As for the gold while I would not turn one down, and having one might change my mind, if I could win one and trade it for some of the harder to get LEs like Burrows OR, Split Rock MI or the three green water pieces, I would in a heartbeat. So if I win, start looking for those pieces. Is that a deal?
