Thanks for the info. Some great sets being discontinued.
 

[Pynedor]

Hmm, I still want to get some of those! Thanks for the information.

[Redmao]

The Future Planet sets are already getting canned? That was fast.

[tonguello]

several surprises there!
cavemen? future planet? olimpics!? those just came out! 

[ZooKeeper]

Some surprises in this list...maybe the future-planet was ahead of it's time. I'm really sad this theme seems to be a failure because you can see how many time and ideas the developers had put in every set. Same about the stoneage-theme.

The dragon-knights are not a big loss, hopefully they'll be replaced by a normal knight-theme.

The school-theme is a surprise because it seems to me that it sold well in germany. I'm curious if there'll be a new school one day.

Discontinuing the zoo is sad on the one hand but also a chance for an updated theme with new animals I'll miss the koalas...think i'll get some more till the set is cancelled

[Redmao]

The Dragon Knights have been around for a while so I'm not surprised, but the ?Figures, Stone Age and the furniture sets for the modern house, the later might be discontinued to make some space for new sets.

I'

[bonniebeth]

Yeah, I better hurry and get the cavemen sets I want, I've been putting that off.

I also need some more of the 4285 bathroom sets for firehouse bathrooms, but other than that, it's about time for that house series to be over with. I'm sure there will be another soon, and hopefully a bit better. I've never liked that one.

I've got what I want out of the school and animal clinic stuff, and never liked future planet. SHOCKED that the harbor is being discontinued so fast, and the olympics, and some of the vacation sets!

As for the zoo, I agree, I hope there will be another zoo series, hopefully with compatible fencing, but different animals. I've got all of the sets, and there's still lots of koalas and meerkats at TRU, which I have bought several of and may get more.

[leefert]

The Zoo is a constantly improving series so it's being discontinuation does not suprise me. I'm sure that it will be a year or two before it will be back improved again.

thank you Hadoque for bringing the info from IKEAMA at KW

and thank you bb for the picture list, I have yet to learn most of the set #'s and really do not plan on it.

I really am not too surprised at these lists as it just has to do with what is or is not selling. It does help in prioritising my purchases and brings certain sets higher on the list.

I do not understand though why members keep asking for a new Medieval theme, I thought the Lion & Falcon knights were relatively new & quite nice to look at in my opinion?
