ravenb99 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Stickergate is my only concern if it will turn enough people off. I bought one of these on day 1 as was very excited to build it. Never got around to it for timing reasons as usual and then read all the complaints about it. Have to say it turned me off from wanting to build it for now and skipped on to other sets. I have a good amount of them and hope they do well but cut off for now. Was planning on double what I have but just see it to many times where people say they are unhappy with the sticker issue. I hate stickers to begin with so the thought of stickering each container is not very inviting. I could see my daughter disliking me for the day after I ask her to do all the stickers for me lol.

diablo2112 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 It's a big boat, so it has that going for it. After that, who knows? It's got a boatload (literally) of rare colored bricks. Quote

sroster Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Also Trek make sure to use your fakey British accent and preferably a disposable cell phone. Burn the cell phone after your conversation and make sure you have an alibi prepared. Scotland Yard might be on the case! 5 Quote

It's funny, I carry one of my companies reservation lines and without even thinking about it I use it for any and all Craigslist dealings. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Re: trekgate and call to check. Earlier this month I was at my LEGO store and someone called to check if they had any RI in stock. I immediately thought of Trekgate :D 2 Quote
Crustybeaver Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 If I only lived across the pond I would call and ask them what it means. But I am paranoid about my caller id showing up and auto routing my calls to show my account if I ask anything, I can see if caller id works across the pond (have never researched that) that they have someone calling about retirement status on a EEE from the US. That would surely set off a flag if I was a rep in a bad mood. LOL Call to Trek 1 Quote

The odd balls at Lego are out the door at one minute past five. Quote

Don't want those going unnoticed Quote
trekgate502 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I may have done 10 or 12 likes in the last 24 hours? Not really sure. Maybe I try to be such a positive person the system reduced my number of likes available. VBG 1 Quote

Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Where do I find the 10241 forum? I seem to have come to the wrong place. Quote
ravenb99 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Where do I find the 10241 forum? I seem to have come to the wrong place. It will be resurrected shortly just like a LEGO set you are fond of... 1 Quote
hannibal Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 To those of you who still wonder this is a very nice set. Dont compare it with the SW line as its not, nor the Modulars, Technic etc. its something on its own. It costs Quote
diablo2112 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I have a contrary opinion on sets like this with stickers. NIB (or at least, unused stickers) become that much more collectable and valuable than those where the stickers have been used. Can only help the long-term price, as future collectors will place a premium on unused examples. Quote

chipbee Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Stickers gives you flexibility on what you want on the containers. Some people may prefer the unmarked container look, and others want logos of other container companies on the containers. Quote
Jules_K Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Lego SAH EU / Asia is now showing "Call To Check Product Availability". Put a fork in this one then? Edited January 29, 2015 by jkaesler Quote
legone Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I hesitated on getting more of this because of the previous Maersk ship's performance. This one looks better and is bigger, but then again they may sell another ship soon. The way it goes with licensing is that they're going to milk the cow to the max while they have it. Just like the Technic Mercedes Benzes. Just my two cents. Quote
