Doing some checking against playmobil.co.uk on the areas that interest me, all the new, to us in 2009, construction sets are in that list apart from 4044, the asphalt cutter, plus 4138, the compact construction set.  4142-4144 are sets which haven't appeared here yet, but hopefully they still will for those who may want to but them.  4320, the compact RC set, is a puzzle as the new fire engines which came out in Germany this August use that, but maybe it hasn't sold well and isn't seen as worth continuing.  Some of the other sets have also had a short life.  Of course, the sets being discontinued will be available in the UK and USA for another year, but the production life of sets does seem to be getting shorter in general.  I need to do some thinking as to which of the construction setson the list I want fairly soon.

Darn it ... there are quite some sets leaving that I wanted to get hold of. I am specially confussed about the Ghostpirate sets that are being discontinued.

Lot of catching up to do then  :(

Hi Mi-Chi  :wave:

   Thanks for the list , Here it is from DB Link It really shows the harsh reality of short attention spans . Some of those sets have only been out 2 years. The whole wedding and Sea Expedition Themes came and went so quickly. I wonder about the Victorian Theme , will it be replaced? If it goes there will be no traditional doll house for girls.

Oh No  :omg:! More pressure to get sets that are going to be disappearing too soon  :o!
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

Thank you for the original list, mi-chi, and thank you, Ras, for that composite illustrated list.   :wow:

An interesting list. I'm surprised to see the Ocean Expedition series going so soon, and the construction.

Bogro

At first though I agree with you Mark, the Ghost Pirates haven't even appeared in the UK yet, and they're already dropping them?

On closer inspection, I see the Ghost Pirate sets being dropped are two of the ones featuring stupid giant sea creatures, which I had already dismissed as not interesting because I don't need giant crabs or stingrays. So maybe the general public have given these sets the big raspberry too?

A big clearout is always followed by a bunch of new releases, so I'm waiting with bated breath for news on those.

It seems as if the wedding, circus, and sea themes were just introduced!  It's also appallingly early for them to discontinue the Arab Special and the Egyptian temple, two sets that were paramount on my radar.  I guess Playmobil is doing what a lot of companies are and streamlining their product offerings. 

I hope the discontinuation of the big castle and the doll house themes mean that replacements are coming.

Will the eggs will make it to the US?  I want the knight and my wife wants the panda.
