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 colors such as medium
azur, 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 customize
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-colored 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.

Unfortunately it appears that Medium Azure (as the color is called in the
Bricklink Database) is a new color that will likely replace Maersk blue.
While this color does more closely resemble the actual recent color of the new
Maersk line of ships... the parts won’t have quite the allure and “exclusivity”
that Maersk blue had. :(
So I would think that Maersk blue may end up as a retired color... since non
Maersk LEGO products cannot have this Moller-Maersk trademarked color.
Get your Maersk colored LEGO while supplies last!

P.S. Here’s a little background on Maersk and their early years with TLG (from
my next DVD/download)...
