I have mine coming to Barcelona…

This is a worldwide exclusive of TRU and S@H.

It is a very cool set and for the people who have the 4999 (as me ;D ) it is also a good complement.

Yeah I love the set, but if the thing ever comes out in the USA it will be like $60, and that is way way too much. The whole point of the set is to make LEGO fans happy because LEGO couldn’t release the Vesta version because of it’s cost. Now they release this and they have it hugely overpriced.

I saw this set at BW 2009 and I really love it. The sizing should fit in great with my layout scale. It’s nice to have a less expensive option than the Vestas one would have been. Bravo TLG. :-)

So Octan now engages in clean energy, huh?
That set is waaay too expensive. 444 parts for 60 Euros, that’s a Star Wars price…

Do we know when it will come out in the US or at least for sure that it will?

Nice set overall the Wind Turbine is a well proportioned model and will fit in with the Lego City range, I have already bought 2 for my future layout. The Vestas set was a nice set but it was somewhat overpowering in size dwarfing everything around it, whilst 7747 Turbines you could have a few of these to emulate a windfarm and they would look great and not take up much space.

Aww, the wind turbine belongs to Octan Energy. Not just an oil company anymore.

I was surprised to see this set show up at Toys R Us in Halifax, Canada. I considered picking it up because of its rarity, but it just didn’t seem very compelling.

Saw one of these in a store in Sydney a couple of days ago..

Strange that it would be in Australia before the U.S. ??
