In 2020: the white baseplate is coming to the LEGO catalog

This is good news for lovers of dioramas, the 32x32 (25x25 cm) white baseplate arrives in 2020 in the LEGO Classic range under the reference 11010 at the retail price of € 7.99.

This new reference will join the other colors currently on sale (10700 in green, 10714 in blue et 10701 in gray 48x48). The reference 10699 sand color (Tan) is no longer available from LEGO.

If you were planning on buying white plaques in the aftermarket for your snowy dioramas, be patient and wait until early next year. You will save a few dollars and be sure to get a truly white part. Several sellers on Bricklink are indeed honest enough to point out that the plates dating from 2006/2007 that they are reselling for at least double the advertised price are a little yellowed.
