A little chart about modulars

Hi, here is a chart I made to make things more clear and I wanted to share it with you because I think that it makes things more understandable. (years are divided in quarters: 2010-1, 2010-2, 2010-3, 2010-4) As we can see, when a set was retired, another appeared in about the next months. Cafe corner out > Grand Empire in Green Grocer out > Pet shop in Fire Brigade out > Parisian Rest. in There's some expections: Town Hall in (first quarter of 2012), and Palace cinema in, and nothing out. Because of the success of modulars (so much success that they have been included in "lego the movie", which could be surprising for such expensive sets) TLG may have consider to enlarge the number of sets available at the same time: 2 sets in 2008 and 2009 3 sets in 2010 and 2011 4 sets in 2012 5 sets in 2013 4 sets in 2014 ??? (GE retired, or is going to be) We can also see that while Cafe corner and Green grocer have been available for 2 years (and a half), since Fire brigade it seems that sets will stay 4 years on shelves. My guess using this chart: Pet shop will be the next modular retired, about December 2014 / January 2015. And if TLG consider that 5 modulars at the same time is cool, then another may be coming... I hope it helped.
