You’d certainly be well advised not to. Everything you promise (in good
faith, no doubt) is in danger to be turned into a lie by TLC themselves.

The good news is that once again, Shop At Home was able to take advantage
of this limited run to produce another (relatively) small quantity of the
10152 in Maersk blue.

Limited. Sure. Like the “limited” run that made us buy out the first run,
huh? How many collectors, do you think, bought this set because they were
hooked by the prospect of getting a rare and limited set?

How many of those “collectors” went out and said they had hundreds at 200 USD
each for sale?
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!
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.
But that’s just me, I guess.

Hey Larry.
Just to say that it is not just you. 100% agreed. Thanks for putting my feelings
in so well written words.
Best regards,
Paulo Renato
