I second everything that has been said about this set: It's too good to be limited to an exclusive group of commercial customers. Make this thing public, and if Vestas objects (why on Earth should they?), paste a fantasy brand on the turbine. That's (...) (16 years ago, 17-Jul-08, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) 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 (...) (16 years ago, 17-Jul-08, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

I really cannot see how LEGO can ethically release this kit since it was created as an exclusive for the employees of Vesta. I would be sorely disappointed in TLG if they did such a thing. "Limited ediition" and "exclusive" mean something. As "The (...) (16 years ago, 25-Aug-08, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)
