Just visited the Lighthouse Depot ("World's Largest Lighthouse Store") and if demand there for the SOL is any indication, this one's going to be a smash hit.

The assistant there told me that they've been caught way off guard in terms of supply and demand...as in huge demand, low supply. Says people who order today won't be able to get their pieces probably until early May.

She also told me that the general consensus among customers was that it's got the finest detail of any SOL sculpture they (the customers) have seen.

We have to keep in mind that they do huge volume from both their retail location and mega-catalog sales. Yet it's the most enthusiastic response I've heard from the folks at Lighthouse Depot toward a Harbour Lights sculpture since Sanibel.
