bluegargantuaHi,
OK, so I saw this in the LEGO catalog and I lusted for it in my heart until I finally broke down and bought it last week:
Close to 1000 pieces, over 2' long. It's really spiffy. I put it together over the course of a couple days. The worst part was the decals for the smokestack and the hull. Actually, the worst part is the fact that you have to assemble over 40 containers and then put stickers on both sides and then stack them so most of them aren't visible. Still it's all set and it's really slick. I like it a lot. Now if there were only some scale tugs and dock cranes to go with it.
It's also made me wish that lego would make battleships or aircraft carriers. Those would be a lot of fun too.
