Guest TabbyBoy Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I don't know if it's been suggested. What about the complementing Somali pirate set LOL.... and a UCS model of SS Nimitz to blow the pirates to bits? Quote
Sozial Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 its back in stock in germany, but you are only allowed to order one piece. Quote
jaisonline Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I see a lot of complaints online about the stickers...too many of them, too tedious. I'll be avoiding this one like the plague. The lone reason I'm not buying one even to build. However, I do think people will forget about the stickers once it is retired so the set is prob a good investment especially if it isn't around for more than 3 years. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Stickers didn't bother me at all....it was not fun, but it wasn't a big deal either. The ship looks amazing Quote
jaisonline Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Stickers didn't bother me at all....it was not fun, but it wasn't a big deal either. The ship looks amazing boo for not agreeing me with. ha. just kidding. i'm just not a fan of that many stickers unless i'm in a dust free environment with tweezers and bright lights how many of those container stickers are there? i agree it looks great and should do well despite being a 3rd refresh of a set.

Fcbarcelona101 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I have no idea of how many stickers I applied lol I am a fan of recreations of real life objects (large scale), so I could not pass up the opportunity. Quote
Dark Helmet Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I didn't see any other posts on this. I just saw on shop@home Maersk Line Triple-E 10241 is sold out till the end of march. If anyone has bought any prob is the best time to flip. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I thought about grabbing one last week, but decided against it. Anyone built this set yet? I saw it built and it was pretty impressive. 1 Quote
Deeker Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I built mine. It really is impressive and looks great dispalyed. I did not put all the stickers on though. It builds fast and easy. Looks fantastic and the containers are actually not that bad to put together. Out of all the "adult" builds I have done this is right up there. Honestly it displays as well as any set I have up. I love it Quote
Dark Helmet Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Thats great to hear Deeker. I want to pick one up but I figured I have plenty of time to do it and I have very small display room and that looks pretty big. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 It's one of the best sets I have ever built. I added some different colored "containers" to try and make it look a little more accurate. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 How many stickers come with that set? Quote
kunfuzd Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Forgive my ignorance, but is this set (and company name) more recognizable outside of the U.S.? Do you feel that Maersk to the world is what John Deere is to the U.S.? How would it fair in the U.S. secondary market after EOL? Are U.S. AFOLs pumped about this set? Or will investors be selling more on the international market? Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 No idea about the international appeal of the Maersk brand, but I would assume it is pretty well known. These Maersk sets have done pretty well over time in the US, I really have no doubt you will be able to sell it domestically for a decent chunk of change. Quote
Ivanlau1999 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 But please remember this set only came out for ONE year only......... Quote
Snarkie Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 How many stickers come with that set? According to gherkin on eurobricks, 134 stickers. Pic also courtesy of him. I am just dreading to apply those once I build it Quote

Only problem is that unlike John Deere, you won't be seeing a lot of their products building a road or in a construction - unless, there are Maersk containers. Quote
BearCrash Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Maersk IIRC is a danish company with a long track record regarding transportation. Only problem is that unlike John Deere, you won't be seeing a lot of their products building a road or in a construction - unless, there are Maersk containers. Over here I see a truck loaded with a Maersk container a couple of times a week. And that's not on the highway but on secondary roads. So I guess it's a pretty recognizable brand. Quote
Dallas20 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Being in the military I have spent a lot of time around coastal ports. MAERSK Can always be spotted with their large container ships... Now that I think about it they are the only brand that stands out in my mind. Quote
Deeker Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 The company is one of the biggest shippers in the world. They are known for their bright baby blue ships and conatiners. I belive the movie capt. Phillips was based off of one of their ships. They are a huge player in intermodal shipping and freight. I know in the model train world they are always sought after both the trains and the containers. If you live near any port city in the US you will see many of their intermodal containers as well as ships. Quote
Sandwraith Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Looks like a great set and a fun build... but i'm usually terrible with stickers and i just know i'd mess them up >< Quote
marcandre Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I have had one on ebay for a few weeks at 220 with no takers. Not sure its a great flip. Two bodies were just found on a Maersk ship that looks just like the lego ship. http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/19/world/asia/seychelles-maersk-deaths/ Maybe I should add two dead minifigures to the auction? 2 Quote
exciter1 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 OK, what's the story for the Maersk 10155? Why did it have such a short release? Any concern about the availability of 10241 past 2014? Availability at LEGO.com United States 04 Jan 11 - 06 Jul 11 $119.99 United Kingdom 04 Jan 11 - 08 Mar 12 Quote
