Jeff Stembel: Are Cypress Trees discontinued? Or is that a rumor?
A: Yes, unfortunately. We used all the shots in the molds, there are none

Why is it smart to discontinue an accessory pack that has sold out?

-- Hop-Frog

Are they sold out, or just discontinued?  I bought two packs earlier this >week.

They are no longer able to manufacturer them.  LEGO found some old molds and
produced all of the cypress trees that they were capable of producing (i.e.
"We used all the shots in the molds").  Molds have a finite life.  There
were never any plans to build new molds.

(...) just to add to the discussion, Lego Direct's business plan is to never (unless ABSOLUTELY required) to develop new molds. It saves on development costs, and thereby increasing the overall bottom-line for TLC. Ben (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
