Damn US. Is it coming for us again, too? I'll have money for it on the 10th.

Unless Jake McKee says otherwise, the assumption is that it will be

available on both sides of the pond.

Though in the back of my mind, I can see Lego deciding not to release

it in US and then come up with a lame excuse of not to after the fact.

:P

i just took another look at the maersk ship at lego.com... wow! i don't understand why tlc doesn't build more of these type of sets, without the exclusivity and "maersk" thing... they could sell those for only 80 euro, couldn't they?

[Jipay]

Well here its most a matter of color. Its the only set with this light blue maersk color. So maybe in red it will reduce the costs

[snefroe]

i think part of that color cost was paid buy Maersk.

anyway, what you're saying is right. Red would limit the costs even more. and we know that the Maersk ship is success. so why doesn't tlc pick up the idea? hm... maybe a question for Jake? Perhaps kids wouldn't play with it? or too many parts? Even though they can easily replace the 1 x 4 bricks by 1 x 8 or more... i'd love to see a tanker or fishing boat in a maritime theme... :oo

The fishing boat would be great (recreating jaws, sweet).....and don't forget a cool tug boat to help the Maersk out of port ;)
