Dear LEGO and Vestas,

LEGO #4999 (Wind Turbine) is a promo set only to be sold or given away to Vestas employees as a gift. (I am not sure). I would suggest and hope LEGO would release this set world wide through LEGO Shop&home and through LEGO Brand retail stores. However, I would limited the purchase of 4 per customer.

Honestly, this is a great looking set and with the engery crisis around the world. This would be a great business and marketing idea for both LEGO and Vestas to release this set to the public.

I have to say this set #4999 reminds me of the Maersk Sealand Container Ship set #10152 and many other promo sets.

Thank you.

		Re: LEGO set 4999 Vestas (please release it)
(...) I totally understand if the Vestas company would like to keep the set exclusive to their employees. If I worked for Vestas and was told that I could get an exclusive LEGO set, and was then later told that the "exclusive" set was going to be (...)
