I do see quite a few sets I need to hurry up and buy during this next year. It's nice to have a feel for what's on its way out.

Did anyone notice the 5124 - Calf Shelter is being discontinued? It's the only farm set being discontinued, so I was wondering why. Could it be there was a problem over animal rights? I have to say it made me cringe a bit. And made me hungry for veal. :P

Oh come one. If that bothers animal rights groups, I can't imagine what they'd say about the circus and zoo themes  ;)

I'd say that it is probably because it uses a lot of plastic for a small set that they can't charge that much for..  and most people who haven't raised cows ever wouldn't miss it  ;)

I think it's a cute little set, very unique. I need to get some before they're gone.

Oh I had that little dairy cow shelter on my list X 10. I want a whole dairy for a farm diorama so the kids can play dairy farmer and I can keep them awake for long hours to show them what is is like to live and work at a dairy. A lot of the dairy kids in our area can barely keep their eyes open due to being so tired.

bb, I like your veal farm idea for a dio, thanks I may do a foie gras farm also  ;)

I also also would love to see the pirates the underdog for a change and stop with the red angry pirates with skulls all over them.

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Sounds like a great way to make your kids HATE playmobil. :lol:

The three-pirate set that's being discontinued, for eg, I'm not really surprised: it was one of the poorest in recent years. The asian klicky who looks like he's just come out of a 1970s disco, for eg: what's that about? And the cannon-firing boat: much has been said about that.

Hey! I LOVE that pirate! Granted, not as a pirate... and the legs are kinds useless.. but the rest.. :love:

The cannon row boat is.. well.. ridiculous to start..

Could be because it's totally lame with a hay sticker...

I didn't bother to get the calf set. I did get all the other small ones though. Wouldn't you rather have another pig set than a calf one? If you only have x dollars the calfs going to be down the list a ways.
I would have bought the island set if it wasn't so expensive. It's just too big for the few things there I really want. Of course I haven't had any luck getting just those parts from DS.

It's just a sticker? :o I had not noticed that! That's crazy!

Tim, I already have the pigs, too. ;D They're awesome!
