Let's talk Northwoods

Where do these go after folks buy them? GECs (even SFOs of the same run size) seem to turn up here on the buy/sell/trade forums, but it seems like the Northwoods just disappear. Is this right, or does it just feel like more GECs turn up because there are more of them?

Take a look on the "auction site" and witness capitalism...pretty sure that's where a lot of them go and I think there are quiet collectors who snap them up too.
There is considerable more mystique to the Northwoods and, for sure, there are a lot more GECs produced.
 
Well I got two today (after my epic failure last drop where I forgot to finalize the purchase!) I either got the Red Jigged Bone #1 or it is a stock photo. I also got #2 Kudo Bone. I would have liked to look over the Kudos more but these drops move so fast I grabbed the first decent one going by the thumbnails. I was most interested in the Red Bone but thought the Kudo would sell out faster; evidently I was wrong. I was also interested in the Burlap. I think I could have gotten more but was tapped for cash and am not going to buy to flip. There were still at least one Black Linen Micarta and Curacao Orange Burlap left along with Kudo Bones. I am not sure if the Burlaps and Micartas were stock photos or not.

[Edit: It looks like there is some filler on the backside of the Kudos that needs to be cleaned up. I had a couple of LT Wright Ironwoods with what looked like the same white excess filler. A wooden toothpick cleaned it right up.]

I was very tempted to try and grab one of the Orange Curacoa Burlap also, but showed great restraint. I'm kinda regretting it now....LOL

I think this Orange Curacoa Burlap Micarta looks good too. Is this the same name that they have been using for the previous Northwoods runs with a brown Burlap? View attachment 997996

Kind of. There is orange curaçao and also smoke burlap. I believe they introduced smoke with the latest Fremont. And orange curaçao with the bear lake.
 
I was hoping mine would arrive yesterday, but no luck....Looks like Monday at the earliest.
