I just think this: In terms of marketing, a re-release of the Maersk truck sets (URL) 1552>, (URL) and/or (URL) 1831> might be a more profitable option even, because in that case they can cash in on a much broader customer base. May you all make (...) (14 years ago, 3-Jan-11, to lugnet.promo, FTX)

Then the AFOL community ran with it and made a huge deal over what Jake said. At the time, LEGO decided to (...) (14 years ago, 3-Jan-11, to lugnet.promo, FTX)
