   Perhaps there are different connotations of the term “limited”? SNIP Spencer

No confussion here. They said through Jake M., SHO, and press releases that it was LIMITED TO 10,000.

I don’t care about collectability. I bought two the first time one for myself and another for a nephew. I may get another this time.

however I do detest being lied to. the excuse “we changed our minds” is only an excuse. It does not change the fact that a promise was broken.

After bley and click hinges et. al. some seem to think they are taking the high road by defending the company no matter what they do. This is sad it’s not the company doing with their product as they see fit it’s the company lying to you.-Ken

Can we please stop with the spin on the situation? There were no lies

At the time, no contract with Maersk to make future sets and LEGO had these pellets to get rid of. Come out with nifty set and use up pellets--limited ‘cause, as stated by Jake, et al at TLC, TLC *can’t* make anymore due to no Maersk Blue pellets. And since, at the time, there was no contract with Maersk to warrant making more pellets, no more boats after the run was done. Case closed.

Jump to today--“Hey,” says Maersk, “We want to start a new contract with you (TLC). We’ll even supply you with the pellets for the colour!”

Which part in there was lieing?

Just becasue you didn’t like what happened, does not give you ‘carte blanc’ to interpret the events the way you wish.

(...) I don't care what happened as far as set numbers. What I do care about is that this was presented as a "Limited Edition of 10,000". They then proceded to break that promiss. What is your word worth?-Ken (19 years ago, 22-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
