Does anyone know if there is a LL for the 'New' Point Loma Lighthouse. I know there is one for the old light, which we have. But we would LOVE one for the new Point Loma light!

There isn't a Little Light but there is a mini, in fact it was at the first Reunion as a gift... It goes for a price on secondary market if you can find one.. It was basically the prototype for the Little Lights of today.. New Point Loma Mini..
Onward to The Land of the Midnight Sun!

Expect to pay from $150 to $200 for one. If you think that is high, they use to go for $400 to $600. But as Paul has said.
If you can find one.
This one, as for all the Reunion stuff is very rare and is being sold for bargain prices.

I have a mini NPL in it's original box, and it's in mint condition. It's flag #246. It doesn't match either flag# on the two full size NPL's I have in stock. It's funny that this topic should come up because I had thought of putting it on eBay and seeing what happens. It's been a really long time since a mini NPL appeared at auction. Lord knows what it will bring. If anyone is seriously seeking a mini NPL, let me know and make an offer before I put it on eBay. I'll take a pic and post it later today. Bob

Here's a couple of pics of the mini-NPL I said I would post: The mini is in a plastic bag in the original box. As you can see by the pic it was signed by Bill. There was no tent card of COA in the box. I don't know if that paperwork came with the mini. Could someone confirm that? Bob

nice pictures, thanks Bob. I am amazed to think, we saw this light "for real" earlier this year! And really "up close and personal" For the details look on our website: Happy 115th Birthday Point Loma Lighthouse

I always felt that the demand for the First reunion NPL-mini would increase because of The LLOM. The NPL-MINI is the coquille of LLOM. Harbour lights must never make a LLOM New Point Loma so LLOM collectors can have that one hard to get light. (not to mention the other reunion mini’s)

Somehow I agree Daniel. I was not aware of the mini until Paul told me about it. And now I know about it, I think it needs to stay exclusive and rare! It increases the fun of the hunt for it. (even though it looks like I don't need to hunt any longer ) My husband has gotten the Harbour Lights Bug and is hunting for them here in England. We just bought several on eBay and they are all in the UK. So no need to take out a second mortgagae to pay for the postage. And a very kind gentleman from MA has agreed to sell the NPL Mini to us, so we don't need to hunt for that any more either (Thank you to the kind gentleman! ) Collecting is FUN ... especially when it comes to these beautiful works of art!!!

HL shouldn't have made LOTS of things, so that their LEs remain elusive, rare, and fun to collect...was hoping the new HL would catch onto this...

Mike, the "new" HL has caught on. They have indicated they plan no remakes, fewer releases and lower edition sizes.
