ETA: 17 of my 41 total sets are now retired (this includes SAB, hostess, and the ones retired out of the catty last year and this year). I am going to have to spend major bucks out of the new catty to make up for it...darn! :p

I have 13 that are "for sure" (3 being new backgrounds that haven't arrived yet) on the list and a couple I have question marks on. Don't know if I always THOUGHT about buying them or if I did. I'm so bad! Two of my favorites are on there, Terrific Tulips and Angler; I thought that was sad. Now I have a whole list of maybes...a few I know I want...but some I never really thought about before. I do want to pick up the masculine sets like Travel Post and Aged to Perfection. I always liked them but never got around to picking them up.
I have 42, but that doesn't include any SAB or hostess sets that won't make it now. I have 5 backgrounds that are retiring, 1 of which I haven't even received! Oh well, I am sure I'll enjoy it still with all the samples I have seen with it here!
I have 14. Wow I'm hoping for some great new backgrounds since so many are leaving , new alphabets ( maybe clear mounts), and masculine sets. I only want a few from this retired list , my demo will be pleased. Can't wait to see the new stamps and extras.
I have 8, 3 of which are backgrounds. And there were only 2 on my wish list. As someone else said, now I can concentrate on NEW ones! There definitely were some surprises there -- both ways (retiring that I thought would last, and staying that were a sure bet to retire).
I have 9 on the retired list. I am also not a demo, so I am another that I am glad I have them, and I only have 2 "must haves" off the list to get before June 30th.
I am also surprised at the amount BGs and Alphas that they listed. The timing of the BG sale in April with the huge list of BGs retiring is funny too!
I own 7 on the retired list--and 4 are backgrounds! Only have 4 on my wishlist, so that's not too major. Hope SU will be replacing all of the
retiring backgrounds--very exciting!
14 for me....But I am not a demo either so it doesn'r really matter. I am also excited to see what new BG's might be in the new catty????? Hopefully alot

I have 5 that are retiring & only 1 on the must have wish list. My DD is the demo in the family & I reconized alot of hers that are going. I am so glad I'm not the demo!
I have 13 on my list that are retiring. Most of which I never use anyway.
I am really sad to see Crayon Kids and Soft swirls go!! Those two are huge sellers for me!!!
There is only one on my list that is a "must have" the two others I can live without- I suppose
The anticipation now for the new catty is way too much to bear. I can't wait to see what they replace the Alphabet stamps with, since they are taking so many away.
I'm stunned over Shapes and Shadows though! And they're nixing some seriously cool backgrounds that have the whole retro/fabric trend that is soooo hot right now. I bet that those will be worth $$ on ebay next year!
Hopefully the new catty will be chock full of fun, cool, new stuff! I wish AYC 1, 2, and 3 had gone though! They are hopelessly outdated!
I think I counted 8 that I have (not a demo) but I've picked 12 that I like. I know I can cut that down to half. I just need to figure out what I REALLY want!!
I only lost 7 but I am also not a demo. I am very surprised about Shapes and Shadows. I think I might regret not ever getting the Terrific Tulips but I am willing to bet they have a new floral waiting in the wings that I will want just as much.

I agree with you on this one. I am losing 32 sets, and as a hobby demo it isn't much of a big deal. I am actually relieved because I was holding on to some 'just in case' I needed them for an event and needed to keep my current sets up, that I really dislike.
This is my 3rd retirement list as a demo. It is time to clean house. I am starting to understand my personal style, and there are some on my shelf that I thought were the cutest thing, but never have used.
There are only 2 sets (other than Alphas) that I will be buying because I still want them.
So with selling off the old, and only a few to buy, I am ready for the new catty.
Not counting SAB & Hostess Sets, I have 10 I think! The ones that surprised me were Shapes & Shadow's & Crayon Kids (although I was half-expecting CK to go since they got rid of the Crayon Cuties last year but I thought it would be one of those that hung around FOREVER).
I'm not a demo, so I'm not too heartbroken that they'll be gone, just a little sad knowing that new idea's using them will diminish SIGNIFICANTLY!
~Melanie, who is excited to see what exciting things will be in the new catty!!
How many sets do you have are now retired??
