No More Monkeys Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The Somalian pirates may even want them as trophies! I doubt they have access to Paypal though. Or have mailing address. So, not our target customer base 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 They are also not known for their swift payments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxman Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The pirates are know for conducting extensive tactical simulations in bath tubs using the EEE as the target and bat boats to represent their boarding vessels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adewar Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Good points - lol. So we should include longshoremen, merchant marine (250k), and pirates. That may push the total close to 2m. If only this set had been "Navy Seal Maersk Rescue" then I'd probably own more than 0. I'm curious to see how it does though and hope you guys do well with it.

That would obviously imply inclusion of a helicopter. We are not sure yet that's a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayttees Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hi guys. In Glasgow lego shop you still can get 10241. I just managed to get two. Good luck guys. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Brickpicker mobile app Mod Edit: Merged with existing thread for 10241 (huskers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowtot Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Well it does seem this set wasn't hoarded at all it's already at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 How on earth were you able to buy 15 of these? You have 15 accounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtot Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 lol I know it's badly frowned upon but yeah when Lego started banning people in America last year I created 8 new accounts with different names/bank details in prep for the inevitable ban hammer over here in Europe and I spread the purchases across the accounts. Also you can buy the set again 24 hours later when buying through shop@home. I may now be busted but it's all gravy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Triple E marked got it's "Retiring Soon" tag 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostDad Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Seems like Lego probably wouldn't ban you for buying multiples in this case. Unless the move from limit 2 to limit 5 is some sort of trick? Anyway, I plan on buying several of these to create my 'West Coast Container Port Dockworker Strike Logjam' diorama. Labor unrest completionists will definitely want a couple of these. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostDad Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Forgot to add, could someone who has one of these in hand post the box measurements? The official brickpicker measurements seem off in this case. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostDad Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thanks sroster. It sounds like EEE will fit in my R2 shipping boxes, which is good to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thanks sroster. It sounds like EEE will fit in my R2 shipping boxes, which is good to hear. Yep, I think they're the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxman Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) I have both and they are the exact same size. And now I want another EEE because I saw the box again! Darnit! Edited February 26, 2015 by jaxman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glycine76 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 10241 Maersk Line Triple-E is in the retiring phase? How does the future resell look for this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 10241 Maersk Line Triple-E is in the retiring phase? How does the future resell look for this one? I think it will do well, but I also think it has a limited growth mostly because it's a Maersk ship. I would say that the ceiling to this particular set is around $325 - $350. I can't see anyone paying more than that for it in five years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tballw32 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 The Lego store I stopped by yesterday said they had a ton of them in the back and the shelf was full of them. They're definitely going to last till 2xVip point season in that store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're definitely going to last till 2xVip point season in that store. Now the question is: Which 2x VIP points season? The one in March or the one in October? My guess is that it will not last till October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Maybe the horde should step in here. Otherwise here in Europe the value increase will stay in the fridge till October. We cannot have this. Hence, Lego might transfer some sets to Europe if it does not sell in the US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxman Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 My Lego shop hasn't had a EEE in months. Nor a Red 5 in a month and Per Shop has now disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
