Only rumours at this stage (and a Brickset entry) but perhaps this could signal the end for the Camper.

1) Benelexit

2) You guys stop buying Lego

The Benelux started the EU! The founding fathers of the EU.  Leaving is just unthinkable.  

Well, in a way it's an advantage to have higher LEGO prices in The Netherlands because those of us who are inventive in getting our Lego as cheap as possible will find ways to do so by importing from Germany or the UK for example. But the general consumer in The Netherlands just pays the higher RRP here and is oblivious of these pricing differences with other EU countries. That also means that really good deals at Amazon DE or UK can be more easily QFLL here. Or when the set has retired the point of profit is more easily reached when the potential buyers are used to higher price-points.  

Maybe all the other countries will leave the Euro first. That works too.

Well, that is something to be proud about. Isn't it?

90€ isn't that bad a price. I can live with it.

I forgot about that.  I'm going to guess that part will appear somewhere else in another color at some point.  Until then, I guess we wait.

Or you use this part and place something on the 3 exposed studs: Brick, Round Corner 6x6x2

The new part is 5x5 - that part is too big!

What's your source for that dimensionality? To me it looks bigger than 5x5 ... Need a New Elementary post

Even if we could use that part (not sure), it's not available in White, so still no Herbie.

Unless you're willing to make a really dirty Herbie and can use the Tan colored ones

Since you asked... listen carefully at 0:53. Yep... can't remember three things from a grocery list, but I can remember hearing about a new lego part in a designer video!
