Seems odd that Chica Linda and Boomerang are being retired so soon, especially Boomerang, being a new mold and all. Sales must not be doing that well (although with the glut of stuff they produced, that shouldn't be a surprise).

The Mystery Horse Surprise box is already being retired? Maybe we'll get a new one next year, complete with another chase model I can't get. Sigh.

It's about time they retired Big Chex to Cash. He's been in the RR line for...10 years?! He must have been a big seller to stay in production that long - that's an eternity in Breyer years!
I'm surprised Zena is being retired after a bare year of production. Maybe she wasn't as popular as they thought she'd be? She may be too realistic of a sculpt for a fantasy-type model. Emma or Falhofnir might have been better choices. Cobra, Slick by Design, and PVF Peace of Mind got a year and a half - maybe they weren't big sellers either. The molds in question aren't terribly popular (except for SCO), so maybe the sales just couldn't justify keeping them in production longer.
I'm also surprised it took them this long to retire the American Pharoah resin - they couldn't even give those away at the end of last year.
There are a few things in this Traditional list that should be in the Classics category, like Man o' War and the Cloud's Encore set. Plus, there's no way Espresso is a Traditional - maybe they were trying to save space in the list or something.
