When is the best time to buy it? I think price now is good, but not the best

What is your opinion?

Like any set, when you are happy with the price.

Lol, I always say the best time to buy any given set is, when you see it and have the ready cash in pocket.

I know that isn't much help but that's the way I do it, right or wrong.

It's likely to be heavily discounted during the Black Friday sales. Hasn't moved large volumes......which is unfortunate because it's an original idea.

The best price I have got for 3in1 set was when price per piece was approx. 0.032 usd dollars, what is your guess on this Ferris wheel set? When is the time it hits the lowest price?

Just got this for 68 euros at Smyths Toys in Germany. Not a bad price.

Where I live, it has been 33% off RRP since it was basically released. So i predict it will be at least 40% by Black Friday.

I never buy at RRP unless they have attractive gift sets

Typically for 3-in-1 sets I wait for discounts but so far summer 2021 has a bit less discount compared to previous release seasons, and sets like the Aquarium/Castle are far more limited with little to no discount.

At first I was also interested in the 3in1 Castle (i.e. 31120) but later on I found that it only comes with the front part right? I really don't like these "incomplete" things, but what's the best deal you can see for this set in your country? 

but the 3in1 Ferris Wheel is the set I'll certainly not skip because I have missed the bigger version of the Ferris Wheel

The best castle was the one I got in 1992

Buy two and you have a complete Castle (instructions available on rebrickable, not mine)

They almost always display it in a single line, but there are hinges, so you can close it up into a single castle. There isn't much space inside, but it does turn into a complete castle.

much worse than the Castle set released and I got in 1992. But the Ferris Wheel is great.

Ah, well, you didn't say anything about it being worse than older sets. Yes, clearly it would be great to have something more complete. But at least you can close this up.
