I just got an email back from LEGO-Direct saying the blue 32 x 32 baseplate, though it says “Sold Out” on the S@H website, has been discontinued.

Though I should look out for other items that are similar, or maybe sometime in the future it might come back with a different look!

BAH!

Bring it back LEGO! Please! How else are we to create the illusion of large bodies of water?

Unless you intend for us to pay through the nose for blue plates to put on top of other baseplates.

I realize that the blue 32x32 baseplate isn’t exactly a ‘power seller’, but I mean, c’mon! It’s a staple! You need three colors of baseplates, grey for industrial or rock, green for grass and blue for water! That’s just the way it is! Everyone needs access to blue baseplates!

At least I think so...

I’d buy 1 or 5 if it was made available again...

Sigh...

It lends itself to a bigger problem with S@H: they continue to display things that are sold out (discontinued)...while it’s noble of them to let us know that there will be a restock, far too often they leave things up which they know have been discontinued....it’s not unlike the infamous color change...they’re ****ing with us, leading us on.

Sorry to be so cynical.

Play On!!!!
