For example, to build the bank, buy the parts that make of the bank in a good set and build... Depends on set. The demand the set has, the pieces in it. I forgot to buy the little pale yellow Friends set when it was $24 in November. Went to ebay, almost none listed. Older sets missing a couple pieces can go for cheap on ebay. I've been buying on eBay sets the seller got from returns in store. I got the massive City Rocket for $70 (normally $150), only missing a 16x16 plate Bricks and Pieces has for $2. But then there is something like Cafe Corner which parting it out, and slightly changing it, will always be cheaper. Quote

The last City PD on a baseplate (I'm not counting the modular). And white bike. :) This is probably the best police station in the city theme so far but definitely not comparable to those in 80s or 90s. I really hate the prison gate on the second floor, very much not realistic, but I understand kid likes this Quote

But nothing beats the World City one. Quote

Waiting gonna kill me! I'm really hoping we see new animal molds for Wildlife Rescue, like an elephant, male lion, zebra, giraffe, hyena... rejuvenated ostrich and camels from Prince of Persia? When are these sets coming out again? Edited February 4, 2021 by pancakecrocodile Quote

When are these sets coming out again? That would be neat to see new animal molds! But right now, there are not much details at the moment. And, uh...I think they would be released in summer but I may be wrong. I will let someone else say something if i am wrong! Quote

The Island Chronicles Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Does anyone know how to get the power plant pieces from 60281 and 60282 without getting the entire set? I need those for my layout. Edited February 4, 2021 by Brandon Pea Quote

I need those for my layout. If you're just after the pieces, the yellow girder pieces are roughly a dollar each on bricklink (probably less in USD), and are relatively common, so that may be the easiest way there. If your after the subassembly as a whole, I'd wait a while and there is a good chance it will come up on Bricklink, or maybe ebay. Sets beings divided up after some time to be sold wouldn't be uncommon, though it could be used, but if you wait the prices may rise higher than the price of the entire set originally.

I need those for my layout. try your luck on ebay but 60281 is not a bad set, you have helicopter and the motorbike, I haven't seen these stuff for quite some years. I also have a plan of getting 60281 when it is on special sales but atm the price now for 60281 is still ridiculous. approx. $25 usd dollars is the lowest I can find I can get it for $15 but not now, and the stock would last very quickly Edited February 5, 2021 by ks6349 correcting some grammars Quote

Yea, when I can find a set that was originally overpriced for a cheaper price I usually buy it, I got mine in a supermarket nearby that was selling all their Lego products for cheaper prices, I also bought the 2019 police patrol car, the forest fire, and the monster truck for 5€ each Quote
