You totally missed the point, Chris. The ship was already announced to be re-released in dark blue which would have made it in no respect a less great set for kids and anybody who simply enjoys building it. While on the other hand “limited release” and “maersk blue” were clearly meant to catch the attention of collectors. And so they did. But by revoking the limitation they (TLC) will betray the collectors of an essential factor that made them buy this set.

By the way, I’m speaking here in my capacity as collector, not as a dealer. Not that that should matter at all...


Bye
