LEGO dropped the Maersk Line Container Ship (10155) in 2010 as part of the Advanced models Maersk collection — a solid build with a good amount of detail at 990 pieces with a retail price of $119.99.
At $0.121 per piece, it runs a bit higher — but that often reflects larger or more specialized elements.
