CopMike Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The wait is over ! Since 1980 have we been waiting for the re-release of the classic minifig Construction Helmet in Maersk Blue so it only took 31 years . It only came in the 1651 Maersk Line Container Truck which according to Bricklink only was released in Denmark: 1651 set (photoshopped pic from BL) The minifig (photoshopped pic from BL) But now with the arrivel of 10219 Maersk Train we´ll get 3 helmets AND a new cool torso, not mentioning all the rest of the Maersk Blue pieces etc in the set - but that´s for another review ! So without further ado ............. The three amigos: They come with the Minifig Vest in orange as the first picture shows, but it was to hot when this picture was taken so they stripped it off ! The torso: Smile to the camera: They all seem happy to be working for Maersk! The "I forgot to shave for a week"-minifig: The " "-minifig: The "I had to much white eye makeup on this morning"-minifig: This head is new to me, the others has been done before, 3626pbp193 & 3626pbx288. This head is new to me, the others has been done before, 3626pbp193 & 3626pbx288. The head appeared in the 3221 LEGO City Truck which came out last year: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=3221-1The guy with the trolley has the funny glasses And big kudos to George G for setting me straight - the White Eye Makeup guy a.k.a Glasses with Gray Frame Sides guy has been around since 2010, so no new heads then ! So thanks for watching, stay tuned for something more coming .............. : Quote
roamingstop Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Hey CopMike... Does that mean you also have the set? Could you verify how much of the container wagons are correct? LXF file The mini-figs look nice... thanks for the reviews. I wonder if BL will make a difference on the maersk blue caps? (long versus short?) Quote
Ambo100 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Can't wait until the full review. I'm loving the detail/colour of those torsos Quote
Jay Sathe Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Why CopMike? Why? You've just made waiting for a whole 3 WEEKS completely intolerable! When April 1st rolls around, I will be the first in line at my LEGO Store, and I'm going to walk out with 1 set under each arm. Until then though... I'll just have to wait. Quote
akunthita Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 How cool is this? This gotta be one of the nicest trains ever, and yeah, 3 Maerss helmets in one set, thats sounds too good to be true! Quote

Scouty Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I think these figures are ly!!! The guy with the clear glasses confused me at first. I though those were the whites of his eye. Then I saw the über faint frames Thanks for the review Quote
RoryoCox Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 This teaser is tearing me up inside CopMike. I hope you have your review of this fantastic set up soon, I'm getting excited to see all of the details this set has to offer. Quote
Piratedave84 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Maersk Blue Must buy lots!!!!! This color is beautifull! I'm not a fan of trains but I think I'll get this set, it looks amazing! Pirate Quote
Catanas Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Really liking that new torso! Though theyre nice and rare, the helmets arent screaming to me. Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Looks nice. I'm looking forward to the full review. I don't hope someone has just bought a maersk blue helmet for about 400 euros on bricklink Quote
George G. Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 This head is new to me, the others has been done before, ] The head appeared in the 3221 LEGO City Truck which came out last year: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=3221-1 The guy with the trolley has the funny glasses Quote

Zarkan Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 You know, I'll be honest: even after clicking the frontpage link and seeing pictures of the new minifigs, the only think I was thinking was "WOOT, maresk blue cheese tiles!" Looking foward to the full review, Copmike. Quote
Holodoc Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Of course... ... you were the one to get this cool set first. Even when you aren't a townie. Oh, wait - is there one theme you don't collect? Wooha! Envy sooooo ON! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Great review preview CopMike Can't wait. This set is to be released in the U.S. on April 1st too, right? I wonder if that blue Maersk helmet on BL will drop in price. $599? Why do those stickers say Maerss? Quote
Mr. Elijah Timms Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 CopMike-- can I ask you a tiny little favor: Can I have every set you've ever gotten your hands on? K Thx Quote
CopMike Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 Why do those stickers say Maerss? If you read akunthita´s post: How cool is this? This gotta be one of the nicest trains ever, and yeah, 3 Maerss helmets in one set, thats sounds too good to be true! - you´ll see that he misspelled something quite important in all his excitement! Then I just coudn´t resist to improve the excisting sticker a bit: ! Quote
Brickaroo Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Yeah, and the new stickers to go with that: Sorry, couldn´t resist it ! rofl, nice. Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Neat little review there 'Cop Mike', so someone is very lucky and cheeky too ! Even a sticker sheet....thanks....now I can make my own containers for my rail cars....AWESOME ! Can't wait to see the rest of the review ! Quote
gogocar Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Ah, the Maersk train... The Maersk train is probably the best Lego train set ever. Ever! You obviously have the set, since you have the minifigs, so pleeease make a review. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I can’t wait any more for this wonderfull train! I hope lego will produce a set also for me! Quote
prateek Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Come on Mikey, why not just do the whole review? Quote
