I haven't looked at the Target lamps, but I am happy with the heritage grande.  Other that the fact that it flows awesome, I like that it has a built in  dimmer if I need to control the heat.  Plus for me the black base with pin-holes really sets it off.

Sorry if I'm digging up an old thread without reading through all of it,

but can someone give me the low down on if it's worth me getting a heritage versus a "regular"

are they american made?

I'm debating if I should just go for a target $90 grande with the 2 year replacement or go with one of these

It's probably because of the holes in the base, the delay in warm up time????  Am I correct?  I don't know though, my Wiz heats up quick and overheats.  Then again, the way they set the bulb socket, the darn thing sits right on the bulb.  Had to go from a 40 back to a 25 watt in it once I got it flowing again.  It sat under a bed for a lot of years...needed that 40 watt boost, now it's flowing nicely.  It is with 4 other siblings though, so the heat they throw off helps the wiz with the 25 watt bulb cook nicely!!

I'm still digging that red Wiz up there!!!  I may have to xmas gift myself that one!!!  If they even still have it in stock by then....

I will post the three Heritage lamps Patrick is getting rid of.  I'm pretty sure a red wizard was one of them.  These will be nice Heritage lamps as well, as I was with Patrick when we picked these up in person from Lava Lite HQ.

I don't personally feel its the holes in the base.  I suspect a socket height issue.  I created two Neon Grandes before the Heritage line came out.  Both used Grande bases and both required a socket extender.  I think the Neon was is likely a bit harder and has a higher melt point.  My homegrown Neon Grandes warm up in about 25% of the time that my Heritage Grande heats up in.

Jim, you just struck a cord with the neon wax!!!  I have a "home grown" 52 oz blue/white and a 52 oz LL Neon green in my son's room.  I crank them both up together.  The homegrown is going in no time, but the neon LL takes another few hours.  Now mind you the mt goo has a very low melting point IMG, but still, my lamps will be goo'ing way b4 the neon.  And that's just on a regular base.
