While I'd love to see LEGO get their house in order, color wise, I'm not seeing
that as a reason to NOT want a Maersk set. I lust after those stickers, I have
my own projects I want them for, and it looks like a fairly (ok, really) well
designed set. I hope it happens. Further, I hope it comes in Maersk Blue, not
one of the near shades, because that would be a further sign that LEGO and
Maersk have made up (rumor had them falling out a while back)...

Promo sets are denser than normal, historically.
