Ep. 14 - Behold The Mystery! Lego Mountain Windmill Full Review Friday

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of LEGO with a detailed look at set #910003, the Mountain Windmill. This set was part of the LEGO Bricklink Designer Program, a unique crowd-funded initiative that took place in 2021. Among the many sets that were up for funding in November and December of that year, the Mountain Windmill was one of the lucky few that made the cut. Although it didn’t quite reach the cap of 10,000 units, with only around 9,000 sets produced, this limited-edition build still managed to captivate fans with its charm and mystique.
Priced at $180, the Mountain Windmill comes with a captivating backstory: perched high in the Boratis Mountains, it stands between the tallest peaks, shrouded in mystery. No one knows how it got there, what its purpose is, or who—if anyone—lived within its walls. Nature has slowly taken over this derelict structure, adding to its sense of intrigue and adventure.
Join me as I explore the details of this incredible set and uncover what makes it such a standout creation. Thanks for tuning in and joining me on this Full Review Friday!

I'll also delve into the 2021 Bricklink Invitational, which was the first time the program flew under LEGO's official banner. Then, I'll wrap up with an exciting update on the 2024 Designer Program, discussing where it's at now and where I think it's headed in the future.
