Lego Windmill on eBay for Just $1700

Sure, the limited edition Lego windmill made for wind company Vestas is cool.  It’s the kind of thing we wish they made in large quantities for the public so that kids can play with them, but alas, since they’re limited edition they’re hard to get a hold of.  I guess that’s why they’re selling on eBay with opening bids as high as $1900.   So far, no one’s biting on the higher priced auctions, but one auction with 8 bids is up to $510.  Seems crazy, considering that some people have built themselves the real thing for less than that, and the Lego version doesn’t produce energy - it runs on batteries! But, collectors are willing to pony up a lot of cash for limited edition.
