There only made 25.000 of them. The reason they ordered them to us Vestas workers was so that we could get an assignment. That was to find a Vestas Ambassador and give this set to.

I can inform you guys that Vestas gave those wind mills to all its emplyees as a summer gift. Didn't cost a thing. I work at Vestas here in Ringkøbing Denmark and i just got mine yesterday. It looks pretty nice. As i can see alot of the emplyees are trying to sell the windmills for alot of money on diffent sites. So it could be possible to get your hands on one if you really want to.

I can't even find out a price or when or where it is going on sale.

Nice set!! We've got wind turbines here on Maui... but, I don't think they are Vestas. The Kaheawa Wind Power website indicates they are from GE: quantity 20, 1.5 Megawatt each, providing about 9% of energy for Maui.

The politics involved are nothing more then that. theyve been teamed up for years now showing wind turbines at lego exibits for a while only difference is before the LEGO models had REAL Vestas miniature turbines.. now LEGO has a model.. i will be buying one for sure :) (i work for Vestas) whats ironic is it doesnt matter what lego is made of, nor what this turbine is powered by. the reason LEGO is using a Vestas turbine is because LEGO is a Danish manufacturer, and so is Vestas.

Use your imagination, some gray pieces, and some thought and you too can build your very own LEGO wind turbine... It can’t be too hard…it is a stick with a rotating rectangular block on the top.
