Comments from Submitter:
The use of Maersk blue 3001old in some of the sets has been reported several times, but the information was never complete.
Quote: "In 2006... TLG was producing the 2006 Maersk Line Ship set... and something happened. The factory was running low on Maersk blue 2x4 bricks as they were nearing the end of the production run. Rather than produce another batch of bricks, many of which would sit around in inventory for years, TLG asked the model shops if they had any Maersk blue 2x4 bricks... so they could finish the production run. Well one of the older model shops (not sure which one)... did have a supply of the 2x4 bricks in their inventory in that color, so they shipped them to be included in the last of the 2006 10152 Maersk ship sets.
What no one at TLG knew (or didn't care about)... was that these model shop versions of the Maersk blue 2x4 bricks in the late 10152 sets... were 3001old bricks... namely they didn't have cross supports attaching the tubes underneath to the sidewalls. This 3001old brick in Maersk blue was likely produced in the early 1980s for some model shop glued display models... and never found in any LEGO set... Maersk or otherwise... until the end of the 2006 run of the 10152."
Could we add a note to the inventory explaining this odd event? Something like "In late production sets LEGO used the leftover supply of 3001old from one of the model shops."
