(...) I would also jump at the opportunity to own this set. Even limiting the purchases to 2 per customer would probably be OK.

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)
