Hey has anyone ever tried hooking up something to the windmill winch inside?
There actually are a few windmills out there that have power to them...I've seen 2 on ebay over the past couple of years and they went for a LOT of $$. I think they may have been store displays originally though

Yes, those were store displays and great fun. Friends of us have one and it runs smoothly. It did cost them though !!

Beside that electric powered windmill, you can connect a regular windmill to something.

There is a spare wheel right inside the door that you can loop a rope around and thread it through the big slit in the side of the building.

I haven't yet figured out what to hook to this, but it can be done. (For example, you could design a smurf ski lift by putting your windmill on top of a shelf, threading string through it, then connecting the other end of the loop to a pulley. When you cranked the windmill, the rope would turn, powering your ski lift.

Hi Drunksmurf

My windmill is exactly the same as yours down to the rust stain on one of the sails! Mine was also bought MIB.

Either this is a sign we're both the reincarnation of high-ranking Tibetan saints, or else Schleich has some explaining to do.

On the other hand, those patched up windmill sails look a little tacky anyway.

Hi,

We never put our stuff. like the winmills, together but just put the various boxes in line.

The contents of this box are still sealed so I have no idea what windmill variation this is, but in my opinion it is a very rare box variation. Especially as the other items on the box are actually included. The 'gabelstapler ' and the Smurf all come included with the windmill.

I am still looking for more variations in boxes so if anybody has a chance to photographt the box as well that would be great.

Hi Dennis, that is a fabulous variation of the windmill, I have never seen this one before. Thanks for posting the pic.

[attombomb7]

hi! I also think that is a fantastic! variation and windmill set!

I bought a large mint mushroom house a while back that also had free smurfs included in it..

I wonder if Schleich had a short promotional period where they added

goodies to some of these larger items>?

this WIndmill set you have is really nice! and the smurfs that go with it
are also nice ..like that miller smurf.

[Tessa-Dennis]

Well, we were really happy with this windmill as we didn't know it was something special atthe time we bought it and thought it to be another box variation.

Hmmmmm this is very interesting and certainly something to look for. No idea what the deal was with these but this is the only one I ever saw and the only one I know of at the moment. But there will certainly be more of them (or dare I say it is a testversion )
