   Discussion by Istokg · September 2020 · Home› Collecting

   I have been working on finishing my Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide expansion (2800 pages to over 4000), and while I am currently working on the 2011-2020 sets, I keep getting side tracked with older set important information. Such as the 1650 Maersk Line Container Ship... the first Maersk LEGO set of 1974. A…

   Discussion by white_chev · May 2020 · Home› Everything else LEGO

   I have been trying to find a high resolution scan of the image that appears at the top of the instruction sheets for the Maersk 1650 set. The image depicts the model in its standard container ship configuration. If anyone has a high resolution scan of this image that they are willing to share or has access to the…

   @mountebank I agree, the lighting was not optimal when that image was taken.... One other interesting point is that I'm not sure if Maersk blue has changed over the years... or if the color has just yellowed. Here's my REGINA MAERSK semi-MOC (using modern Maersk parts) next to an original 1650 Maersk Line Container Ship of…

   I would prefer to sell in one shot. regarding references, yes sold on eBay long time ago. do you know anyone in the Minneapolis area that could do a pre check for you? any consolation, really not selling for the money.....as I mentioned before, there is a bit of an emotional attachment to the 1650's - first Lego set. the…

   I just built the latest addition to my fleet of super vehicles, inspired by my favourite car: the Bugatti Veyron. To date I have done a sci-fi ship, but now to add to that, I have a 1650 piece 'Veyron' tank: The roof is removable to reveal a 'hangar' bay for a small minifig army: Doors open and a ramp flips out: Roof of…

   This part was a ships keel that was first introduced in 1973 in LEGO boats 310, 311, 312, as well as LEGO Minitalia boat sets 30, 31 and 32. It was used again in 1974 in the ultra rare 1650 Maersk Like Container Ship... before being redesigned a bit with the extension on the bottom (as seen here)... and used in 7 further…

9. Re: I analyzed 67 years of LEGO data

   

   Comment by Istokg · July 2016 · Home› Everything else LEGO

   I have to second what @LusiferSam said.... the input data to this very interesting research for sets prior to 1972 is incomplete. From 1954-72 the majority of sets had parts in white and red... pretty equally divided. No idea why there was a spike for 1960... maybe because only a few sets were introduced that year. 1964…

    I love the new orc armour, it is very cool. My December (or whenever these sets come out) is now suddenly looking very expensive indeed! :-) Was gonna get away with Dol Guldur Battle and Mirkwood Elf army, but the orc hair being only in Dol Guldur ambush... :-S Time to bite the bullet I guess! Interesting to note that…
