Build the Maersk ‘Triple-E’ container vessel – a true giant of the seas!
Presenting the largest ship in the world – the record-breaking Maersk ‘Triple-E.’ Built from over 1,500 bricks, the model recreates the real vessel in amazing detail. Our LEGO designers have included rare colours such as medium azure, dark red, sand blue and sand green.
There are rotating gold-colored screw blades leading to the brick-built twin propeller engines, which you can view through the window built into the port side of the ship. You can even customise it by adding or removing the containers.
This authentic set includes a display stand and fact plaque with detailed information about the ship and, as a finishing touch, there’s the gold coin that is added under the mast of all Maersk Line ships for good luck on their voyages. This model is perfect for LEGO fans!
Features include rotating gold-coloured propeller blades, brick-built twin 8-cylinder engines, viewing window into the engine compartment, adjustable rudders, detachable lifeboats, removable containers, rotating crane arms and a special ‘good luck’ coin
Includes rare medium azur, dark red, sand blue and sand green colored elements
Play with the model on carpeted surfaces or mount the model on the display stand
Building instructions also include interesting facts about the real ship
Ship (mounted on stand) measures over 8” (21cm) high, 25” (65cm) long and 3” (9cm) wide
Glad your pictures are back, Winnie. I like this one.
Thanks mate
The CMFs can be used for SO many different situations it's insane, i could literally sit there all day and come up with new stuff, just wish i had more time available for this kinda stuff...
Also: I heard CMF series 12 will be based on that new Lego Movie, there any truth to that or is it just a rumor?
Is that a new gun piece?
Continuing the Maersk tradition of throwing stickers across multiple pieces I see!
I can't tell you how much that annoys me. It probably shouldn't.
Looks like a good parts pack, but the stickers are obscene.It bothers me too. I'm counting 140 stickers in this set. I think I'm going to pass on this one.

Trust me, you aren't alone. I personally hate it when sticks are spread across multiple bricks, makes it REAL annoying when you take it apart for storage. You have to keep the bricks together somehow, or risk the darn sticker coming off.
Speaking of stickers actually....is the VW sticker on the mini camper the same size as the one on the full sized set? I read a lot of complaints about the difficulty in applying the latter and how the sticker sheet was non-replaceable.
And with the full size it isn't just how straight it is, but orientation since it is round. That was a high stress sticker to apply. Only other sticker near it in stress level was the Red Five Sex Wing cockpit sticker.Nope, not even close. The sticker on the full size model is round, the sticker on the mini camper is square and has more than just the VW emblem on it.

I'm right there with ya. I am trying to hold strong for the 14th though. Get a few holiday sets.I have to imagine the Palace Cinema ones are at least a little bit nerve wracking, right?
I'm debating whether or not I should grab this set on Tuesday to kick off double VIP. The rational part of me knows I should wait until the 14th for the Christmas bonus set but.......

There's 2 sets that complement each other. One is given away on October 14th and other is given away on Black Friday.
To maximize the first one, make a $99 Star Wars purchase. You'll get double VIP points, clone trooper fig and the holiday set.
So glad that Ewok Village is top o my list.There's 2 sets that complement each other. One is given away on October 14th and other is given away on Black Friday.

That was my plan as well. Then Arkham for Black Friday.Yep, Ewok Village and Winter Village Market in October to get me two Holiday Set 1's and one more Clone Lieutenant poly.

Speaking of which, I owe you for the mini camper still.
Ack. Double posting.
Update! (a good one)
I just spoke with four separate LEGO store locations, none of which are the one I visited today. The consensus is that the manager at my location misinterpreted a recent memo.
The memo in question actually listed all of the items which are no longer eligible for any discounting (such as a broken/damaged box etc.). All four of the other locations stated unequivocally that every item in the store is eligible for double VIP points.
Sorry for the scare, folks.

Kmart will have a 50% toy clearance starting tomorrow. These toys were previously marked at 20% off.

Do we know what that Clone Lieutenant will look like yet?
The first Winter set looks nice enough though the second doesn't do much for me hmmm
I don't recall, but I'm assuming you don't live in North America, since the Clone Lieutenant promo has been in effect since Sept. 1st. I'm afraid I don't know the details of the promo outside NorthAm, but I thought it was going to be available in October in other regions.
Here is what the poly looks like though:
How much did that set you back? But congratulations on managing to actually (nearly) all the pieces for that set. It's what got me back into LEGO and it's still my favourite set, really beautiful.I've made a few more orders and I'll now have a mostly complete Imperial Flagship. I'm missing the riggings (2014), the flag, the shakos for the soldiers and the female dress, and some pieces have alternate colors while I wait for a bigger lot somewhere.
So once these four orders turn up from around Europe, I can start building!

I just checked the European Amazons (usually a good indication) and it seems like uk and de aren't selling them, fr has 5 left in stock and es and it seemingly have plenty left, so I'm none the wiser.Is Imperial Hotel going OOP? It seems to have disappeared everywhere around me this weekend.
So far around 1500 SEK, give or take, not including shipping and some stray extra pieces I got with the orders. A bit less than what I wanted to pay for the complete set but then again of course I don't get the box or instructions and we'll see if some colors get a little wonky.
It also includes about 200 pieces I bought twice because I was stupid and Bricklink lagged...
