Val-E Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) I passed and I´m having the same doubts this year about Fairground Mixer only it is slightly more widely available and I don´t see at as much more than a big CITY set and no one buys CITY at full rrp, do they?

Follows Closely Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I passed on the EEE (only have two). I am also passing on the mixer (have zero). Quote

Battrax Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 About time... nice....great set and not one that will be repeated. Each time there has been a Maersk ship, it has been a different class. I should have bought 100 of them. Oh well, I have done my best ;-) Quote

I swear the Lego store was onto me 'cause of this one. Needless to say, they never made it to markdown near me... 1 Quote

I also flipped one to some bloke in Australia early on that was rash in hindsight :-) Quote
binici Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Not sure if to resell or rebuild? I really like this one, but the train line looked even better... What to do, what to do? Quote
Salimr Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 I love this set! My husband is from Somalia so we totally built this with a small boat behind it. I am waiting for all his friends to buy my extra ones from us just because the Captain Phillips movie. In reality that whole situation is so depressing, one has to have some humor. 5 Quote

I'm actually very proud of how most of the stickers turned out. I also replaced some containers with different colored ones to make it look a little more realistic (not really sure if it worked lol). Probably the only set that has been displayed 100% of the time I have had it. Quote

Plenty of choices on ebay. 1 Quote
Salimr Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Do you have a recommendation for a site for these stickers? Quote
diablo2112 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Tons on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC1.A0.H0.Xlego+maersk+sticker.TRS0&_nkw=lego+maersk+stickers&_sacat=0 1 Quote
dcdfan Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 If they flipped over the image, they'd be able to see how to spell Maersk. What problem the other 5 misspelled listings have, beats me. LOL 4 Quote

I want twice the piece count, fully modular printed containers with a variety of corporate logos, and of course updated minifigs. Quote

Expand Not gonna happen Since Maersk = stickers, a bigger EEE is just going to give you more stickers Quote
ChristopherJB Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Feels like this set is dead in the waters. Price appreciation has been abysmal. Shouldve got more SSDs and HHs during the same period instead of this junk. Quote

Shame as it's a superb set let down by too many damn stickers which I think have put buyers off. Quote
