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 certainly the least effort there might be to scoring an instant hit in the market.

Over at the LEGO Ambassador forums, we have been actively discussing this set and are as excited about it as all of you are. It is unclear from the information presently available whether this set will ever be released to the public. However, Steve Witt (of TLG) suggests that we collect all of the feedback supporting this set so that we can deliver it to the LEGO City team and show them that this Windmill (and sets like it) are the sort of thing we want to see from City.

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.

(...) Jordan: Awesome! Excellent work and idea. I'm certainly in for at least 2-3 of these. -Dave ToT-LUG (16 years ago, 17-Jul-08, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

		Re: LEGO set 4999 Vestas (please release it)
(...) 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)

		Re: LEGO set 4999 Vestas (please release it)
(...) Jordan - I'd like to see the 4999 Windmill in general distribution for all the reasons others have stated - form, function, colors, theme compatability, etc. Any LEGO windfarm has to have multiples of this set - it's got built-in repeatability (...)

(...) 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)

		Re: LEGO set 4999 Vestas (please release it)
(...) I would almost certainly buy one of these sets. I would have it at every train show that I participate in. -Ken (16 years ago, 19-Jul-08, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

		Re: LEGO set 4999 Vestas (please release it)
(...) I've literally just signed up for a LUGNET membership just to post here because... I WANT THIS SET! (Or at least a generic one, not necessarily Vestas-branded) If I could only buy one more Lego set ever, this would be the set, as it is the (...)

(...) Not really at #4999 VESTAS Wind Turbine, but a new 2009 set: #7747 Wind Turbine Transport -. This appears to be non-motorized and smaller version. At least someone at the LEGO Group, Inc. was listening. (URL) (16 years ago, 28-Apr-09, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)
