       -Set number #5394 (Horses & Saddles) ***Discontinued***?-

I ordered 15 sets of #5394 along with  a few other sets a week ago from Lego
Shop at Home, and on the invoice it said:


     “The following items have been canceled 15 #5394 Horses & Saddles”
“The canceled items on your order are discontinued sets which are no longer
available.  Your refund will be sent separately”


_Has this happened to anyone else?
_How can Lego ‘discontinue such an important accessory (Horses & Saddles)
when people who collect Town, Castle, and West still really need the mounts!
_Was their no demand?
_Will more be produced in the future?
_Will the old Horses & Saddles set be replaced by a new set?
(with gray, spotted, and rusty coloured horses)

Sorry for the large amount of questions, but I do believe that set #5394 is
still of great use to those who collect Lego, and I still require about 23
more sets!


  Sincerely,

Cheap black horse and blue saddle, plus a mini-fig and armour. Good buy if you like (...) (24 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.western, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.town)

(...) I would have considered the Flowers & Trees accessory set far more fundamental to general LEGO building than horses and the latest version of that went the way of the wind as well. While the new bulk system has a long way to go to replace all (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.western, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.town)
