   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.

Please LEGO and Vestas sign the papers/deal to sell the set to the public. I believe AFOL’s fans would be happy. Not to forget the exposure for both LEGO and Vestas wind power.

Thank you.

I would also jump at the opportunity to own this set. Even limiting the purchases to 2 per customer would probably be OK. This set reminds me of the early houses from the 80s Town theme, such as 376/570 Town House, 6349 Holiday Villa, or even the 1854 Velux promotional set, with a modern spin (no pun intended) on things with the new parts and wind turbine.

It’s unfortunate that in many cases, promotional sets have such limited availability despite the amazing set design.
