Please consider keeping the 5 pc settings.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE you place settings and have MANY.  Not sure if I will continue with the 3 or 4 pc settings as it will look very odd with the way I have/use my collection.  It would be nice to see some of the discontinued colors make a come-back, like in a limited or special run.  You are losing market share by discontinuing the 5 pc product line.
