I haven't noticed but now I'm definitely upset. I just started buying glass toys and those were definitely on my list.

I would seriously love that option too. There have been many things on my wish lists that have went out of stock before I had the chance to get them. If I knew they were going to be discontinued, I would have made them a priority. It's very sad! The glass wasn't a part of my wishlist though. I have a fairly large collection now of glass. That really is too bad though. I always recommend the Gold Laced G! It's a favourite of mine!

It's like that for almost every business model. My husband is in an entirely different industry and all of a sudden a popular material he has been using for years gets discontinued for seemingly no good reason. It's usually due to cost of production of said material versus sales. So, while he thinks it's the most awesome thing in the world and his customers think it's the most awesome thing in the world, the manufacturer's view is: "this isn't selling well, let's stop making it".

Or, he'll get a notice that material prices are being increased...it's a wacky world out there.
