I spoke to Maersk marketing today and was told that they are only distributed as
"gifts" to cargo shipping clients via the Maersk corporate sales team :(

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."

*SNIP*

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!!

No Maersk set has every been made avalible to the general public. Ever - only
via Maersk itself (how you manage that I have no idea!)
(Maybe its some legal thing between Lego and Maersk)

cheers
