Ep. 91 - Mountain Windmill Set Review: A Bricklink Dream or Design Disaster?

In this episode, we journey into the misty peaks of LEGO history to uncover one of the most enchanting and elusive sets ever produced: the Mountain Windmill (910003) from the Bricklink Designer Program. Part fantasy, part mystery, and 100% limited-edition LEGO magic, this HANWAS designed set has quietly become a cult favorite among AFOLs (well at least this AFOL)—and today, I’m giving it the spotlight it deserves.

Originally launched through the crowd-funded Bricklink Designer Program back in 2021, the Mountain Windmill stood out in a sea of incredible submissions. Despite falling just shy of the 10,000-unit cap (clocking in at around 9,000 sets), it’s still a highly sought-after build from the program—and for good reason.

With 1,890+ pieces and a retail price of $180, this set combines beautiful architecture, clever techniques, and a storybook setting straight out of a fantasy novel. According to lore, it sits high in the Boratis Mountains, nestled between ancient peaks, long abandoned and reclaimed by nature. Who lived there? What was it used for? The mystery only adds to the charm—and the play/display potential.

In this review, I take you through the entire build: what works, what wows, and whether this retired rarity is worth the secondhand market price tag. Whether you’re a collector, a MOC enthusiast, or just here for some atmospheric LEGO vibes, this is one set that deserves a closer look.

So grab your hiking boots and let’s climb the LEGO mountains together.
