some weeks ago I bought two panels with WDR sign. Because the original TV
sign is under this WDR sign, I think that WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfundfunk, a
german TV and radio station) has labeled them for their on needs. The model
I built with these panels might be wrong. I have no further information
about the panels. I asked the WDR but they didn’t answer me. Perhaps someone
out here has instructions or more information about this panel (& set)

I just got involved with this one this week with the LEGO Archives and
Collections folks in Billund. They are investigating this one. I tend not
to think that this was a job done by the WDR TV folks, but more than likely a
TLG job (especially if someone can verify that they have a copy from a sealed
polybag). But everyone has been so patient on this one for so long.
This could end up being one of the “hidden treasures” value wise of all late
20th century sets (this being from 1989). Especially since this appears to
have a very low population count (only a few known so far).
Cheers,

P.S. Adding the Jan K. beatiful image of this very interesting set to my
next DVD download copy (free to current owners)...

Hi Gary,
thanks for pointing me to that thread!
There are indeed interensting news about this set these weeks... Since there was
indeed a copy for sale recently, with the panels still sealed in the original
LEGO polybags: http://www.ebay.de/itm/181056912867 (eBay auction ended
2013-01-15 at EUR 259.74, so might not be visible any longer than mid of April
2013)
It has been discussed in the BrickLink forum as well:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=691090
Apparently, this version of that set was sold with standard 6661 instructions
and box only, the overprinted panels are the only modified parts of this set.
A few more images (of my copy) can be seen here, and I do have a few larger
images of the misp one sold at eBay saved locally if anyone is interested:

I do miss the cheap poly bags! I used to use them as give-away's with my party
packs.
Now I need to give away figs and small sets to make it happen!
Even as a dealer, you cannot purchase them!

At the time, LEGO decided to run through its remaining stock of Maersk Blue,
and there wasn’t any more left. Totally true. LEGO didn’t comment on whether
or not it would ever make any more Maersk Blue, although it DID say that
there weren’t any plans to do so. Again, totally true. Jake reported those
facts, which seemed to imply that there would NEVER AGAIN be any Maersk Blue.

There’s one major issue that you left out. There was a vote held by The LEGO
Company to determine what color would be used for a Maersk Sealand variant. The
choices were dark-blue and dark-green (our dark-green, not, as many suspected,
the official dark-green that’s just basic green). The results were so confused
that they announced that they’d release it in both colors, which excited many.
Then the Maersk company decided to order more of the Sealand in their official
color, and now that whole “no more Maersk-blue” thing appears to be out of the
picture. So, at one point, it appears that it really was going to be true.
