BricksR4kids Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Very cool especially since I just sold my last maersk ship this morning.. I see this driving down $ off the older sets even more than they have already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grolim Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hopefully this one is to minifigure scale. Now that would be impressive. If it is based of those biggest ships ever made then surely it would need to be the biggest Lego set ever made wouldn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ph4tb0i Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 hahaha, the one set that every lego collector/investor knew would be reprinted over and over and over and over.. i wish they would make a nicer lorry though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 It does make you question the longevity of the train too, and whether they might re-issue it in a year or two considering it's popularity since going EOL Good question. Why not for Lego? Would be a solid seller every 3-5 years. I've also finally notice their tractor and trailers in my area (never really looked before). Would be cool to see a larger set based on one of them. Then again, they do include versions of it with the train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eightbrick Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Thanks for the news comicblast Really looking forward to this; it combines my nautical interests with my interests in shipping containers (love their use in modern housing LOL). Missed out on the previous Maersk ship, and if this one is anything of a reasonable price, I'll consider picking it up. Anyway, it seems GRogall on Eurobricks has an "in" at Lego. Must be nice Oh yeah, you can say that again. He has the stranglehold on exclusive set news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veegs Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Looking forward to it as I missed out on the container ship (but not the train - let's not redo the train for another couple years). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcarin Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I hope they redo the train along with this ship release so I can buy both for myself mwahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 I hope they redo the train along with this ship release so I can buy both for myself mwahahaha Same. Wouldn't mind a truck or something to go along with the ship to transport the boxes too! Makes me wonder how GRogall gets his info. I won't really question him since its nearly always correct.

sadowsk1 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Now that would be impressive. If it is based of those biggest ships ever made then surely it would need to be the biggest Lego set ever made wouldn't it I thought about this after I said it, lol. I meant one that is playable with minifigures, not necessarily to scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@rtisan Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I missed the train. Won`t make the same mistake again Thanks for sharing! I`m sure it will be an awesome set, like the last 2 were/are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Same. Wouldn't mind a truck or something to go along with the ship to transport the boxes too! Makes me wonder how GRogall gets his info. I won't really question him since its nearly always correct. He will never give up his contacts. People ask him all the time how he gets the info, but he wil never say. I don't blame him, either. He has said that he does not work for Lego, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtmsix Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I really hope they (TLG) remakes the Maersk train as I missed the last one. Also I could have the pair of the ship and the train together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idunno101 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hopefully this is a pretty big and good looking model, would love to get my hands on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincevaughn Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Did some quick googling. The Triple E class is 1,312 feet long (for reference the Titanic was 882 feet long). A minifig's foot fits onto one stud so, hypothetically, I could say that one stud is equal to about 8-10 inches for a human scale. So using 10 inches for conversion a scale model of the ship to minifig scale would have to be around 1,575 studs in length . Of course they could scale it down and retain the usability by Minifig's but getting the look and sense of proportion might be difficult.

stephen_rockefeller Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 The reason why I ask about this new Tom Hanks movie is that a Maersk container ship looks to play a huge role in the film, thoughts on the effect this might have on the Maersk LEGO line???

TheOrcKing Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Funny you mention this cause when I saw the trailer some weeks ago I was thinking "Hey, that looks like that Lego Maersk ship." I don't quite seeing much of an effect on sales for the Maersk sets as it would help if people even knew those actually existed to begin with.Oh, here is the trailer for anyone who has not seen it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Wc1l1DW6IE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
