Fair enough. I never saw the Maersk set (Dark Ages were most of the 90’s).
The question that comes to my mind though is why would they rip-off a set that
is so old? And how lazy do you have to be to not even take a new picture? It’s
not like people will buy it because it uses the same composition as a set from
10 years ago? Are there no photographers in China? No graphic artists? Sad
really.
Still doesn’t p!$$ me off. Laugh, shake my head maybe. Anyone who thought they
were buying a LEGO set when they bought that frankly gets little sympathy from
me.
