Figures...Lego will only sell these to Maersk, and Maersk will only give them
away to their buddies...sounds like a crock of crap to me.
mutters under breath... "not surprising Lego lost money last year, it
has lost its good marketing sense. Give people good sets, and stop catering
exclusively to their corporate partners."
At least hire better lawyers, so that when the contract is finished, then
be allowed to make additional sets and market them on shop@home.
To me deals like this make me sick. Its like they thumbing their noses at
all their customers...sure we have capacity to sell you what we want, but
we are not going to, so too frickin' bad!!
In my opinion, the maersk set has got to be the best or one of the best
sets Lego has made this year, and NOT available to the general public.
Bah!! KKK should step down, and all the management team except Jake and
Kate should be fired!!
Sorry...for the rant, but this really makes me mad.
