Truly Blown Away- The Pros and Cons

Posted by Scotman in United Kingdom on 31 December 2009

I Got this as a Surprise Christmas Present, And I Built it Up On Christmas Day, Its took Me 6 Hours to Built Between Christmas Dinner, Mice Pies and the Royal Family.

Pros:
Motorised - It Looks Twice as Good When Switched on
Front Lights - Adds a Modern Feel to it
The House - Without the House I Think the Set would Be lacking something
Equipment - Mean you can Remove Side paneling and Place Mini figures With tools, Looks like they are Working on the Wind Mill
Wires - When I Started to Build this Set I Seen wires every way on it and Got annoyed, But as you Progress through the Build All wires are Hidden
Blades -Very good Design for the Blades

Con:
Unstable - Now it may have Been the way I Built it but i find this quite unstable When the Windmill is turned on

But Over All I'd Recommend this to anyone!

A Great Reason to Come Back to LEGO!

Posted by icncu222 in United States on 24 August 2009

For a good eight years I went through a LEGO withdrawl to where I was involved in many other things that I had no time for my LEGO collection. The withdrawl ended just before graduating this year from college. As a b-day present/graduation present, I purchased this wonderful set off of e-bay. I was speechless at the amazing detail and the fact that the power function addition allowed for lighting in the cottage and for the turbine to move. In addition, this set is very tall with the height being over 2 feet from base to tip of turbine! The addition of a utility van with the Vestas logo makes it even more realistic. Also, the cottage has great features inside like a bed, sink, stove, lattern and many other deatils that fit the classic town theme. I really can't find any flaws with this set short of the usage of 6 AA batteries and heavy price tag. If you are a dormant LEGO collector I recommend this set to rekindle your interest!

What a great limitied Legoset.

Posted by Micke in Sweden on 28 September 2008

This set is extremly nice to build. You start up with the minifigs and a truck with supplies.
After that you start building the house and the hill where the windmill stands on.
Some small and nice details included suck as a stowe and a sink.
The "tower" is kind of heavy and needs to be fixed to the stand real tight before you start up the motor.
The total hight is 66 cm (26 inch)to the towertop and then you have the "wings" on top of that.
When you start up the motor you also get light outside the house.
This set is really a must have!
I´m just so happy to own a piece like this
