Hey! Where's the lxf file for those of us a little numb at using LDD?

THE END. Winners will be announced tomorrow. Which is in around 24 hours from now. I'll put the voted banner on the blog now.

This is waaay too good to be stuck here in Community. It's a General Discussion on LEGO to me, so I'll move it there for all to learn from.

Morten is, I'm not. I just like cool sets like Emerald Night and this Maersk Train. Those regular LEGO City Trains are meh! in my opinion (no offense meant - I AM a Star Wars collector after all )

That's a pretty good speed for something that size, especially when considering the amount of time, you must have spend, figuring out how to build the different parts of the MOC keeping them in scale with eachother.

I'm stunned at your creativity when it comes to creating those 3D illusions The illusion of depth in this MOC is perfect. blogged

Why? This is an AFOL site and as such this discrete grown-up humor is allowed. You just had to find that sole picture, didn't you? Great laughs everybody - Captain Obvious and this Han incident are my favorites of the past few days. Keep'em coming!

Nice MOC. So sleek and cool blogged Plus since you've got so many cool MOCs on your webpage, I've added it to the links in the blog. I hope that's cool with you? And the rest of you, make sure to check it all out here

Yes please Ship and bill me. Do you take paypal? (just hand over the fees to me )

I think this one will only be available in LEGO Brand Stores, ShopAtHome and of course Maersk Employee Shops. Sorry, but it's a very special product and license. I doubt we'll see this in regular toy stores and such.

I think they print parts in Denmark and the Czech Republic. That may explain the difference, if some are printed here and others there?

This time it wasn't about being European, it was all about luck.

So you want the Death Star to be accurate? I disagree - this IS the best of the UCS sets in my opinion. Ever since they released it, it's been my favorite.

Thanks for doing a review of this one. Let me know if you want to get rid of any of those minis. We could always buy a few of you for contests and such. blogged

That's a really cool maxifig Ar Sparfel How long did it take you to do this from idea to last brick? blogged

High Resolution Review Pics

No idea, I guess it is. It shows, on the back, that it's compatible with PF sets 8878, 8887, 8884, 8879 & 88002. No idea what those are - my last train was the High Speed Train. And the only PF I've got is on my Motorized AT-AT I didn't get this. Morten did - it seems they're available in Maersk's own employee stores. So he got one for me and one for him through some guy that he knows who work there. The review is actually done by both of us - I'm just the "poster". I'm uploading better resolution pics to my flickr right now. I'll put a link in the review's first post.

Set Name: Maersk Train Set Number: 10219 Parts: 1234 Figs: 3 Price: 119.99 USD / 119.99 EUR / 999 DKr Links: S@H High Resolution Review Pics Shop At Home Description: A pretty cool box that shows important stuff like the length of the entire train in inches and centimetres. It also has the part count (1234 bricks). And some playfeature pics on the back. The box holds a bunch of numbered polybags (1 & 2) plus some unnumbered ones and a cardboard wrapped stickersheet and manuals. The polybags numbered 1 are for the engine, the bags numbered 2 are for the waggons, containers and truck. The dreaded stickersheet is not that dreaded in this set. But that may be because of the simple fact that it hasn't been crumpled and wrinkled inside the box. There's plenty of trans stickers that goes STAMP But they really add that little extra touch There's the cardboard wrap 7 digit numbers should any have interest in them. When opening the manual, you're confronted with the cooperative history of Maersk and LEGO. The sets previously done by LEGO for Maersk. (Morten still believe they left out some of the 10152's) Don't pour the parts on a carpet floor, put them in random places on your table instead. And don't mix the bags - the build depends on it! And see? Bags numbered "1" build the engine. Simple instruction steps, nothing too difficult in this 14+ set. Ready to build the engine. All parts in one pile on the table as requested on page 1. Step 10 Step 20 Step 30 Step 40 Aaaand Done! The entire set is pretty straight-forward. The engine is definately the most interesting build. The tiny tip toe steps does make it a little too easy in my opinion, but I guess that if this is meant for 14+, then that's to be expected. The ends of the engine are nifty SNOT designs which are far superior to for example the ends of the BNSF engine. One of the set's playfeatures, that allows you to inspect the engine. Nice touch. The container waggons are well designed. There's nothing fancy pantsy about them, but then again when are container waggons fancy? The truck is awesome. It really looks like the kind of truck that drives around the harbours moving containers. Plus it's more than just a sidekick, it's a part of the set and not just there to up the parts count. It adds more playability in a good way and makes the set more versatile. The containers are simple, yet very effective in their design. The use of the sliding garage 1x2 bricks adds great texture to the containers. Now it's time to purchase more on bricklink in other colours to make even more containers from other firms A few pics of the set. I think we'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Now for those of you who've claimed that this is a ripoff from the BNSF we can only say: "Wrong " The two trains are visibly different and the Maersk Engine is superior design-wise in several ways. For example the engine cockpit is better and without visible "cracks" and the rear of the engine is also way better designed. Final Conclusion: If you don't have this set, then make sure you'll get it. It's got plenty of great parts and plenty of them in Maersk blue as well. The price is fair - no matter where you live. What's your thoughts on this? As you can see the LEGO Maersk sets have improved in quality and design since the first one came in 1975. The recent ones being the 10155 Marsk Ship (remake of the 10152) and now the 10219 Maersk Train. Big sets
