 Dear LEGO / 4556
  Blue 32 x 32 Baseplate Discontinued... nooo...ooo!
 
This may not be news to anyone, but it was news to me. 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 (...)

(...) <snip> (...) Hm...then how are they going to do that Doc Ock lab on the dock set? Didn't the picture show a lab built up on a dock on the water? Maybe they aren't selling it as an individual item anymore... And would the baseplates be coming (...) (21 years ago, 27-Jan-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) ARRGH! I've needed several of these for months, and been waiting for them to return to SAH, there are barely any on bricklink already. This is terrible. A new look! Psssh! -Daniel (21 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) 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 (...)

Yes, the 32X32 blue as a single item has been discontinued for a while now. The glimmer of hope is that Pitsco Dacta still sells a pack of baseplates (4 or 5 I think) that includes the 32X32 blue. You have to buy large gray and regular green with (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

(...) Probably the same way they are doing the new Pirate set, just a "play mat". At least that is my theory. You know the company line... "it ain't dead". (so you never really know for sure). Ben M. (21 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Hi there, I just got the new January - May catalogue her in Denmark. And set# 4856 Doc Ock's Hideout does indeed have a blue baseplate. Kecia (21 years ago, 31-Jan-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I think this happens because the item is NOT sold out all over the world. Remember that by setting your shipping location, you get different Shop At Home websites--North America, Europe, Australia, etc. They are NOT actually different (...) (21 years ago, 1-Feb-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

(...) No, because... (...) ...it does. There are many Europe-only sets that will not show up when you choose the US as your country - you'll get Not Available. So if they are pretty much permanently out of stock of something for the US, they CAN (...) (21 years ago, 1-Feb-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)
