Blue Baseplate Retiring?

[Fenghuang0296]

So with the white baseplate being released, I can’t help but remember that when the blue one released the tan one vanished. And blue is currently out of stock on Shop@Home. Can we expect the blue baseplate to be retired?

Blue still in stock in Europe and US stores , I usually check other regions to check for retiring soon messages.

I hope they realise that blue is a core color for LEGO water and won't just retire it suddenly, also hope they won't replace it with some lighter color (they did that with the green one)

The main issue on the website is why they still use a 48x48 picture for the white one.

This. If they would be about to retire it, I think we would know that in advance and will be able to get them before they gone. I agree, that it's unlikely for them to retire the blue one. Tan is a different story, like the white one, which I believe would also be less popular a year from now. What I don't quite understand is the reason they are keeping the 48x48 grey one and not releasing a 32x32 version of it, even though it has been manufactured for many years now.
