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

For all collectors who trusted your words of a "Limited Edition" of this set and
bought it by thinking having a real rare and collectible set with the ever last
bricks in maersk blue this announcement is a kick in their ass.
One more fact not to trust the words of TLC.

I think it's incredible that LEGO gives any attention to AFOL's at all.  Now you
want them to give special attention to the minority who are collectors?  You
don't ask much, do you?

It's great that LEGO has made this set available again.  And it's too damn bad
if it kept you from making a profit off it.  If all you see in a new LEGO set is
how much money you can make by stashing it away only to sell later, then you are
a leech, not an AFOL.

Amen, And thank you William, Another voice of reason.
Let the collectors cry all they want. As I said, Kudos to TLC for taking
Mearsk's money and making a profit. Oh, the collectors don't want that
happening. WELL TO DAMN BAD.
