Well, it took a bit longer to get the final results tallied that I expected (summer vacations and all). But I’m pleased to announce that the color chosen for the new container ship is...drum roll please....

Dark Blue

That’s right. They were neck and neck, but Dark Blue pulled slightly ahead at the end.

The new set hasn’t yet gotten a release date, but should be sometime around October.

Thanks for everyone’s participation!

Jake

(...) Jake, thanks for the post - this question has been on my mind ever since june 10th :-) Even though I voted for Dark Green, I'll order at least one Dark Blue ship.

  Re: New container ship color
 
(...) Yay!!!! A good source of a rare color! As I understand it, what you called Dark Green in the poll was actually just the ordinary Green, right? --Bill. (20 years ago, 22-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, FTX)

  Re: New container ship color
 
Nooo...ooo!!!!!! Ok, I am really not upset or anything, but I was really rooting for dark green. Especially since my wife told me that if it were green (her favorite color) then I would have to buy it! This was fun, and I appreciate that Lego came (...)

  Re: New container ship color
 
(...) <grumpy old man rant> Bah! Dark Blue is already available in about a zillion sets, dark green is only available in a couple of pieces. What were you dark blue voters thinking? </grumpy old man rant> I'm still hoping for dark green bricks, I've (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, FTX)
  Container Ship Tower Color? Was: New container ship color
 
(...) Dark Blue cool! I wonder if they will change the color of the ships tower? It would be nice to have the control tower windows in another color as well... and the glass... will it be different? (oh, the suspense) // Joe (20 years ago, 22-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, FTX)

  Re: New container ship color
 
Dear Jake, Good to hear that the container ship is coming back! I like the dark blue colour although, I voted for the dark green version. (...) I was thinking why doesn't TLG ship the container ship as an item just like the classic train series (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color)
  Re: New container ship color
 
(...) Now that Dark Blue is appearing more and more, can we expect to see more Darkblue parts in the "normal" shapes too, such as the 1*n bricks, 1*n and 2*n plates and some slopes? I've got several idea's for Darkblue but I'd need more than the (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color)
  Re: New container ship color
 
(...) Hi Jake, I was wondering is there a way for you to publish photos of this nice ship in both colors so we all can see how they look. It is too long to wait for the final version in October... Thanks, Saso (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, FTX)
  Re: New container ship color
 
(...) Since the survey also asked to fill in your regonal location, I'm very curious if the resulds revealed a regional difference regarding the prefered color. With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen. (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color)
  Re: New container ship color
 
SWEEEEEEETTTTT!!!! I'd better start saving now so I can afford the ten I'm gonna buy. Ok, so probably only two...or one. But I'll still buy one. It'll be nice to have a bunch of regular bricks in a rare color. -Stefan- (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, FTX)
