As many of you have seen from the leaked pictures online, we have released a new
set: 10152 – Maersk Container Ship.
Build the Most Famous Cargo Liner in the World!
Maersk Sealand cargo liners sail the seas all over the world, carrying valuable
goods from place to place.Now you can build your own Maersk Sealand Freighter
with this exciting new set! Send it on voyages to far ports, then bring it into
World City harbour. Then it’s time for another new adventure! It measures 69cm
long and is your last chance to buy Maersk bricks!
Ages 8+. 988 pieces.
$74.99
£54.99
EURO 79,99
To clarify, this set will be available through Shop At Home in both Europe and
North America. The sets are on their way to North America, and we should
beginning shipping them in late June. They are currently available in Europe.
I do know, however, that there will be 5 set limit per customer on this set
(Troy, are you listening? J). Why you ask?
This set uses …drum roll please… Maersk blue! In fact, the run of this new set
uses all the Maersk blue ABS pellets we have left. That means that there is
literally no Maersk blue ABS left. Even the parks can no longer get Maersk blue.
This is a small run too – only 14,000 total, with 10,000 coming to Shop At
Home.
You’ll soon see for yourselves, but I can tell you that this set is absolutely
amazing…and huge!
The set is currently in

| Hey, that's great. Nautica sets again! While I read this I am both thrilled and somewhat despondant. I LOVE the design, the use of that old-space blue and part-per-buck content. The thing that jandices me a bit is not this set, but the issues (...) (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX)

| Jake: The containers look to be 2 studs wide which makes this about 1/2 minifig scale. Do you know if the design scales up? I mean if you had two (or three) sets could you build it wider and longer and have a minfig scale ship? I guess it comes down (...) (20 years ago, 19-May-04, to lugnet.lego)
