Personally I’m not sure I have a lot of sympathy for collectors that want to
buy up multiple copies of a new set and thus make it harder for others to
get copies. (Precious Princess, call your office!) Or for collectors that
make decisions about what they collect based on percieved scarcity. Collect
because you like the set!

Irrelevant. TLC made a promise. They are willfully breaking that promise.

I love that set. I got 5 copies myself, and I even got some of my friends
that weren’t going to buy 5 themselves to sell me some of theirs, but I did
it because I wanted the parts for projects. And I’ll likely be using them
for just that. I parted one out already just to get one part that you can’t
get many other places (I used it in my MTW-2001 BNSF recolor)
If Maersk and LEGO decide to make more Maersk blue sets, I think that’s just
great. It is reason for a celebration, not for wailing about broken
promises.

Perhaps, but that still doesn’t change the fact that TLC is purposefully
breaking their word. And unnecessarily so. Why not use the extra Maersk
blue pellets for a run of GP38 locos? Or trucks? Why willfully produce more
of a set that they promised would never be produced again? It’s just bad
form.
What’s worse, they may cancel the run of dark blue that (at their request!)
AFOLs voted upon??? It’s marketing madness. And the whole thing is so
unnecessary!
Somebody at TLC had better think this one through better because the whole
plan stinks.

I fear the end of the wrld is coming my friends, because I actually agree 100%
with John here. But I think it’s not surprising coming from TLC that they broke
their promise. We’ve seen a change of corporate attitude in the last years that
aint pretty. More of the same is coming I fear.
