(...) I don't believe there is an "engery" crisis... ;^) (...) Well, at last count, according to (URL) Brickset's entry for 4999>, 104 people want to own this set, so you may be right about the demand. A tres vool trick would be if this was a fully (...)

(...) This is a seriously cool set. It's unique, a great design, and includes Power Functions. I could see this being a big hit with train clubs. I'd buy several. Cale (URL) (16 years ago, 17-Jul-08, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Agreed. Have the Windmill and house on separate baseplates, if they aren't already, so the windmills can be grouped into a wind farm, and the houses into a neighborhood.

(...) 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.
