[WhiteFang]

Hello all Eurobricks members,

For members that are familar with the recent Vestas craze, this is the thread.

If you are unfamilar with Vestas. This will be a good insight for all of you. Vestas, a global company which is specialize in Wind Power, hoping to spread their philosophy and belief in "Wind technology" to replace other forms of power consumption such as coal, oil, gas and etc. Using "Wind" to drive our daily applications.

This mini-exhibition was taken in Feburary 2008, in Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2, Transit area.

These are the different showcases.

Look at how they working hard in the desert!

Exploring in the deep blue sea

Wind power can help to power house like this.

Wind is free!!!

Hope you guys had enjoyed viewing these images that I had taken back then. Furthermore, if you wish to view more pictures, please be warned that I had not re-size or edit on the rest of the pictures that is not "numbered'. The pictures are very big, if you are using slow connection. Image editing is complete.

Please give me some time for me, to re-adjust the rest of the settings, and improve your viewing pleasure.

Interesting...perhaps we'll see a line of Vestas sets - it would be good as they are for a great cause - alternative energy!

[Eilif]

Great pics. I hope we are looking at the genesis of a new sub-theme, and not just one (albeit potentially great) new set. Thanks for sharing these.

Thank you very much for these pics, WhiteFang!

Great pics. I hope we are looking at the genesis of a new sub-theme, and not just one (albeit potentially great) new set. Thanks for sharing these.

I totally agree with you, Eilif and Lt.Col. Thok.!

I hope for a complete new sub-theme. Alternative energies are the future and it's great to see TLG discovering that and turning it into sets. In this way already children get familiar with this (not only Lego) theme.

After having seen this :oh: wind ower plant with the neat cottage and the service car - how amazing do you think it would be to have a hydroelectric power plant with a little river/lake, a little cottage with a little landing stage, a little boat, a worker looking after the turbines and a grandfather with his grandchild at fishing :oh: ?!

It's an interesting display, and is far more than what I thought would be when I saw Vestas-branded WPPs from First Lego League (you know, the Mindstorms competition?). Matija got a few of those and had them motorized for our display at LEGOWorld this May.

I did on the other hand not expect a set with cottage, van and all that. Maybe a (motorised) Wind Power Plant, but not a full set.

I saw the something like this in JFK at Christmas time. I think it was in the Delta terminal. It had the same displays as these. Egypt, Underwater, City. I dont remember the house but there was a fourth one that I cant remember either. I was going to take pictures but our flight was leaving soon. It ended up getting delayed anyway and I didnt want to go through security again. Bad enough going through once. I remember because they had a pool with a drowning kid in it at the top. Thats a great way to market things isnt it?

Thanks for posting all these pics, WhiteFang. I love those brick-built cows and the garden hedges are unique.

I'm so jealous of all you guys in countries where you get to see such neat displays.

Here is more info on that airport display as well as a schedule of where and when you can see it under 2008. According to that schedule the display is currently at Zaragoza, Spain and in december it'll be back at JFK, New York.

There is also some photos from previuos displays here

Dear all,

The very same Vestas Exhibition display in Singapore Changi Airport, Terminal 2, Transit area which was taken February 2008 last year is currently back in the very same location today. This is not an April Fool Joke. I just took a walk down there and saw these exhibits again. For those whom happened to be in Singapore or for connecting flights, do drop down to Terminal 2 to take alook. It's located near the south pier of Terminal 2. I am not sure when will they move again.

I think the sea display is really great, with the idea of designing models both above the water and the seabed!

[JadeIceGreen]

Damn, I was at Changi Airport 3 times in February, how did I miss this!

Damn, I was at Changi Airport 3 times in February, how did I miss this!

It was last year, but now it is back. Do take alook, if you happened to be flying to somewhere soon. It's worthwhile to take alook at these displays yourself.
