Rob Klingberg Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 So in addition to the Me-Models announcement today, the Maersk train arrives. A great day for Lego train fans! Anyone bought a Maersk set yet today? I'm planning to head over to the Lego store at the Mall of America in Minnesota in 45 minutes to see if they have them on the shelves! --Rob Quote
fred67 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 No.. ordered one last night. I live fairly close to a LEGO store, but can't always find the time to get there. If I manage to, I'll rummage through the CMFs and wait for the train. I wouldn't have been able to put it together for some time anyway. Quote
no_skill Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Has anyone been to Legoland CA since yesterday and seen them on the shelf? If so, I may take a little drive.....(been a little disappointed in the stock at The Big Shop lately, by the way) Quote
L@go Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 As I said in the Maersk train topic, I visited the Lego store in Copenhagen a couple of weeks ago, and they said they wouldn't get the trains in stock until late April, even though it's released via S@H today. I don't know why, but I would imagine it'll be a similar story with other Lego stores in other parts of the world. Did order one through S@H today, though, and I can't wait for it to arrive! Quote
hoeij Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Anyone bought a Maersk set yet today? Bought 3 copies, I'm looking forward it arriving in the mail. Quote
Rob Klingberg Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 VICTORY! Had to fight my way through throngs of parents and kids , but I got my two sets! Check out all the beautiful boxes on the shelf....

AussieJimbo Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Nice one, RK. Very jealous. I've just been checking the inventory and instructions to see if I can build one in different colours with parts I already have. I might just be able to do it. Feel like buying a few more and shipping to Australia? :classic: Quote
Rustie86 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Waiting for a (couple of, come to think of it) paycheck(s) first. Silly things like car payments and student loans are getting in the way. I'm actually looking to order the Passenger Train and train station first. Quote
Veeb0rg Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) I ran down to my local store this morning, picked up 2 sets. I was the only one in the store, no lines. Also this months special is spend $75 and get a small PAB cup free, so if you have a store local, don't forget to ask about it. Edited April 1, 2011 by Veeb0rg Quote
mostlytechnic Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Yep, got 2 and 2 PAB cups. Not much good on the wall though, especially since 8 bins were taken with Hero Factory junk :( And a handful of series 4 figs that I haven't opened yet... Quote

I ended up grabbin 4 s4 packs as well, since I was there and all. Quote
L@go Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I am so incredibly envious of you guys who have a Lego store nearby... I would give so much to be so lucky as to have just one in my country. I find it unbelievable that Lego can open dozens of stores in the US, but a single store just across the sea from Denmark? No, sir... Quote
Bernie56 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Ordered two (2) from S@H when I saw their email reminder. Now, I have to tell the wife about it. Quote
cimddwc Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I got one – yes, one's enough for me – in the store in Munich (Germany) this afternoon; I wasn't the only one, but it wasn't busier than normal. And I got the free small PaB cup (minimum is 55€ here) which I didn't know about. :) Quote
Brickimad Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Looks like I'll have to wait until 4th May until it ships here in the UK. Just was about to order one, but still waiting. Pah! Not a happy chappy. Quote

Ayato Zechs Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Going to my local Lego store now to get mine! Quote
legotrainfan Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I bought one copy on S@H today. However, I'm not sure if I'll assemble it or not. I sometimes look at my train layout and I have no idea where I should put the Maersk Train as soon as it has arrived. I have only one free siding left, but I'd rather have it at my disposal for the other train stuff I own. Quote
RubeusHagrid Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Sorry if this is slightly off topic This looks like a great train and I wish I had the funds to get it, but I don't, so there's no point wistfully fantasising! On that note, if anyone is buying multiples of this set and doesn't need the minifigures, please can you PM me? I have a perfect MOC in my head using them (and the new torsos are cool!) Thanks Matthew Quote
