The Somalian pirates may even want them as trophies!

I doubt they have access to Paypal though. Or have mailing address. So, not our target customer base

They are also not known for their swift payments.

The pirates are know for conducting extensive tactical simulations in bath tubs using the EEE as the target and bat boats to represent their boarding vessels.

Good points - lol. So we should include longshoremen, merchant marine (250k), and pirates. That may push the total close to 2m.

If only this set had been "Navy Seal Maersk Rescue" then I'd probably own more than 0. I'm curious to see how it does though and hope you guys do well with it.

That would obviously imply inclusion of a helicopter.  We are not sure yet that's a good thing

Hi guys. In Glasgow lego shop you still can get 10241. I just managed to get two. Good luck guys.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using Brickpicker mobile app

 

Mod Edit:  Merged with existing thread for 10241 (huskers)

They tend to use Western Union

Well it does seem this set wasn't hoarded at all it's already at

How on earth were you able to buy 15 of these? You have 15 accounts?

lol

I know it's badly frowned upon but yeah when Lego started banning people in America last year I created 8 new accounts with different names/bank details in prep for the inevitable ban hammer over here in Europe and I spread the purchases across the accounts. Also you can buy the set again 24 hours later when buying through shop@home. I may now be busted but it's all gravy.

Triple E marked got it's "Retiring Soon" tag

Seems like Lego probably wouldn't ban you for buying multiples in this case.  Unless the move from limit 2 to limit 5 is some sort of trick?  Anyway, I plan on buying several of these to create my 'West Coast Container Port Dockworker Strike Logjam' diorama.  Labor unrest completionists will definitely want a couple of these.

Haha, that actually sounds quite fun.

Forgot to add, could someone who has one of these in hand post the box measurements?  The official brickpicker measurements seem off in this case.  Thanks!

Got out the old ruler and looks to be

dont ever change.  stay gold pony boy.

Thanks sroster.  It sounds like EEE will fit in my R2 shipping boxes, which is good to hear.

Yep, I think they're the same size.

I have both and they are the exact same size.  And now I want another EEE because I saw the box again!  Darnit!

10241 Maersk Line Triple-E is in the retiring phase? How does the future resell look for this one?

I think it will do well, but I also think it has a limited growth mostly because it's a Maersk ship. I would say that the ceiling to this particular set is around $325 - $350. I can't see anyone paying more than that for it in five years.

The Lego store I stopped by yesterday said they had a ton of them in the back and the shelf was full of them. They're definitely going to last till 2xVip point season in that store.

Now the question is: Which 2x VIP points season? The one in March or the one in October? My guess is that it will not last till October.

Maybe the horde should step in here. Otherwise here in Europe the value increase will stay in the fridge till October. We cannot have this.

 

Hence, Lego might transfer some sets to Europe if it does not sell in the US?

My Lego shop hasn't had a EEE in months. Nor a Red 5 in a month and Per Shop has now disappeared.
