As the title says I wonder if LEGO baseplates are going to be retired soon, I feel that they are in disuse and seeing that they continue to promote new road systems do you think we are facing the end of the baseplates?

How the hell are you going to make a large lego city without baseplates? I think it's a basic element, it would be a bad joke if they remove them....

I think the biggest problem is the thickness, I'm not saying that baseplates are not necessary but the thickness problem is a bit annoying especially for combining buildings/sidewalks... and so on
