Become part of history and vote on the new color for the next container ship..
The Maersk Container ship (set 10152) has been a huge success and will truly be
a collector’s items. The limited quantity is nearly gone. Many community members
have asked if we can come out with the same model in another color scheme.
We think that’s a great idea, and want your help in picking the color scheme. We
would be replacing only the Maersk Blue, with all other colors staying the same.
Head over to the survey (in English or German), and answer the two questions. We
need answers ASAP in order to make work for the short turnaround we’re working
under. We will take down the survey this coming Wednesday, June 9!
The survey is only two questions and should take less than 5 minutes to answer.
Help me show the rest of the LEGO Company how many voices are out there in the
community!
English Survey
Wir brauchen eure Hilfe.
Aufgrund der großen Nachfrage nach dem Mærsk Frachtschiff wollen wir eine 2. und
nicht limitierte Version in einer anderen Farbe und natürlich nicht mit Mærsk
Aufklebern auflegen.
Jetzt wollen wir euch bitten uns mit Hilfe des Links zu einem kurzen Fragebogen
mitzuteilen welcher Farbe ihr den Vorzug geben würden.
Wir werden dann dass Schiff in der Farbe produzieren, die die meisten Stimmen
bekommen hat!

Thanks in advance!

ya! You said it! This rocks!!!
Now if they can get PONL (P&O/NedLloyd) or Evergreen to approve stickers with
THEIR logos, respectively, that will be REALLY great.
As for orange, let’s sell this one out and maybe we can get Hanjin or some other
orange company next time?
Will it still have the Maersk stickers for the containers? If you’re going with
LEGO branding, consider letting our friends at OCTAN branch out into shipping,
maybe?

Since we’re picking the colors, how about classic dark gray?
|
|

That’s cool. Can I assume that this “Dark Blue” is
Navy Blue and this “Dark Green” is the super rare
DkGreen?
I normally love blue more, but I will vote for the Dark Green since this colour
is badly needed for military MOC.

Yay!!!! Now there is some hope I can some version of this AWESOME set!!!!

Lego often refers to ordinary green brick as Dark Green, maybe to distinguish it
from the lighter green foliage and the Lime color. The January 2004 S@H catalog
bricks by type-color page shows the confusion about green/dark green.

Good point. The picture did seem to look like it was a darker green than the
normal green though... more like the bionicle dark green. Which would be really
cool.
But I voted for the Dark blue instead...
|
|
| |
Personally, I would have liked to see a black bottom and dark red top...
Given the choices, though, I went with dark blue.

The 'Dark Green' Jake is referring to in this survey is darker than the
traditional green. It is the color used on some of the NBA minifigs, I
believe the Gary Payton minifig in 3562 to be exact.

That LEGO would offer us the chance to do this is just incredible!
However, I too would like some official clarification on what is meant by 'dark
green' since that term has a history of inconsistent usage by S@H. Right now
shop.lego.com seems to use 'green' consistently for baseplates and bulk brick &
plate packs, but some of those same items (specifically, bulk bricks) in the
catalog are called 'dark green'.
If this is genuine 'dark green' of Gary Payton, Professor Lupin, and Bionicle
fame then I'd much prefer that over dark blue. If 'dark green' turns out to be
regular old baseplate green, then I'm going to wish I'd voted for the actually
rare dark blue.
Any help appreciated, and thanks!

Any chance the set could be produced with all the colored parts in a single bag?
That way, the set color could be decided at the last moment. Which means that it
could be made available in more than one new color. Knowing my buying habits,
I’d just have to have a few of each :)
So TLG sell more and I buy more. We all win....

Yes, that dark green. Dark green in the range of dark red (found in RBR) or dark
blue (found in Orient Expedition sets).

I like that idea.
But the number of different parts may be more than one bag’s worth (speculation
exists that there is a maximum number of different parts that can be placed in
one bag). Also there would need to be a general recalculation of the bag
allocations as right now they’re scattered throughout many different bags.
But it would be neat indeed.
I’d also suggest that the instructions be genericised so that any one of a
number of colors could be substituted in. This may make them a bit more
confusing for the younger crowd but a recolored set is pretty clearly targeted
at adults, ne? (I wonder how many kids not in AFOL households actually got the
Maersk schemed set... Many less than normal percentagewise, I’d wager)

Hi Jake,
Can you find out which Maersk Ship this is modeled after?
Name or Series would be appreciated.

Thank you for asking. Two great choices! While the molding machines are running,
some brick and plate bulk packs would also be big sellers. PLEASE!!!

Oh yeah, would it be possible to slightly modify the bridge area for minifig
scale & add 2 minifigs with the old style life vests (now being used as police
vests so I know they’re still made)?

Well, after browsing through www.maersk.com, and finding "the fleet" link (right
side of website)...it appears the LEGO set is based off the F-series freighter,
which looks like the Maersk Sea-Land Freedom, or the Maersk Sea-Land Mariner.
http://www.maersk.com/fleet_type_ships.asp?nav=7&subnav=71&category=1&subcategory=2
(I quickly realized the series of freighter usually bears a ship name of the
same letter...for the most part...)

Why not make your own stickers? I bet its not worth the trouble to go after a
different brand to put on.

|
Orange would be sweet, but I bet they were going for the rarer colors so that
they keep that part of the market who bought this set for Maersk blue. Dark
orange is fairly rare, though.
| |

|
The survey now says (probably it didn’t when you voted?) that the Maersk
stickers will not be part of the set. Would it be cool if they sent a pack of
stickers with AFOL club logos on it? Maybe ILTCO could work on that. ;) I doubt
it would happen thoa, given Jake’s rush.

Seems to be a lot of support for the Dark Green in this thread, so I thought I’d
voice an alternative opinion. Although surely the dark green would be a grand
choice for those seeking what would be a huge bulk brick set for other uses,
those of us interested in actually growing our fleet of modern era ships might
benefit more from the Dark Blue choice. IMHO, the blue would be better to build
alternative cargo vessel models, whether for containers, loose (bulk) cargo, or
(the one I’d like) tankers. Of course maybe in my naivete I might be missing
that there is some line of green ships out there? Even if so, I voted for the
blue.
That’s my bit. I gotta run before the Starshippers realize I still have an
internet connection... :o

I just clicked the link today (June 10) and it is still active (so of course I
voted Dark Green again!). Has the poll been extended for some amount of time? If
not, do you have recent tallies to share?
