Thank you Ria. I'm quite happy to have that one in the Collection! Me too I never expected to get one until three showed up unexpectedly (those were divided between three collectors and it was my good fortune to be one of them).

Amazing! Rare to see a picture of one, much less one lit up.

Yeah, that's certainly not something you see every day.
