So, if you like this set (and seriously, who doesn’t?!), please reply in this
thread affirming your point of view, and we’ll make sure that the feedback
gets passed back up the Ambassadorial chain.

I think we need to start saying then, WHY we all like it. While I get the
feeling the Vestas set won’t ever become available, I’d be happy if it’s “vibe”
gets passed on to future sets.
Certainly, I like it for the following reasons:
1) Classic design and feel - as others have said, the house at the bottom is
reminiscent of the early 90’s era buildings, with a solid design and pleasing
aesthetic. 2) The windmill itself is a solid design. Attention to form, detail,
and rigidity. 3) The inclusion of landscaping. While here it seems to provide a
balance for the windmill so it doesn’t tip over, it also makes the whole set
feel more complete. 4) The inclusion of a very nicely designed little vehicle.
5) Even the box art evokes a sense of nostalgia! Reminds me of the old early
90’s backdrops. 6) Little details like the dog, table and chairs, flowers on the
hill.
Oh, and add two more to the “I’d buy it!” list - I certainly would, and my Mom
loves it (she’s an FFOL)!
