Yes, it's true. Fiesta Flamingo is being retired on 12/31/13 after a less than a 2 year run.
I must say I am a little surprised they picked the pink Fiesta, as I would have thought that Peacock, Plum or Paprika might have been on the chopping block.
The good news for Fiesta Flamingo fans is that Flamingo is not retired yet and you have a month to place your order for the Flamingo fiestaware you want while stock is plentiful. Another good thing is you can add Flamingo placesettings, bowls or other unique items on your Christmas list and very strongly tell loved ones it is all you want this Christmas.
The bad news is that come January, 1st production of Flamingo ceases and stocks will slowly and surely drop until items start sell out. Orders placed for out of stock items have a good shot of being produced but Homer Laughlin will make the final decision on what gets produced over the next month. Our advice is that if you want something, then put your order in and hopefully it will get produced.
Well when one color is pulled from the Fiesta lineup, another is often on the horizon and from now until March we can only guess. For now take a look of the great lineup of Flamingo Fiestaware while we still have it.
Happy Holidays,
Dr. Dinnerware
