I recently got the farmer’s market van for $35 at Walmart, I think I scored good, nice little parts pack

Yeah it's a nice set, I'll probably convert a bunch of my food vehicles/carts from City/Friends/3-in-1 into shops soon (Pizza, Ice, Fruit/Vegetables, Burgers, Bread/Cake etc.).

Of course the vehicle parts are still useful for other custom vehicles, I've just been displaying some sets as sets for way too long and want to start MOCing a bunch, and bigger, taller buildings take less shelf space then spread out stuff, and multiple levels allow things like housing above it.

I used to be very strict about keeping sets as sets but recently started to look past that, especially for "Town" related stuff from Friends/Creator/City that might as well go together into custom builds.

The BTS Dynamite set has been unveiled, and I think it matches the City series.

I like the Town style vehicle (Pizza to Go comes to mind), and the palm trees and 2 shops are okay , but if the Availability is "LEGO exclusive" as Brickset claims, I wonder how popular this will be at $100 / €100.

Give it a few months and it'll show up at target, that's how I got the queer eye set for $35

[Maple]

If the set was $60 and had PRINTS!!!!!! it be a 'meh' fine City set with nice figures but $100 for that is insane.

[TeriXeri]

Since this is the last big DOTS year, and recent sets have a whole bunch of vibrant yellow tiles, and vibrant yellow bricks are still fairly rare, it's currently a pretty good alternative to bricks for larger areas like sides of ambulances etc.

Especially when trying to recreate certain regional designs of stripes/blocks, using 1x1 tiles can be a nice way to LEGO-fy a build without making custom realistic stickers.

Currently it's just an idea , nothing concrete yet, but especially the UK ambulance pattern should be fairly easy to recreate with vibrant yellow and teal 1x1 tiles :

@TeriXeri Yeah! I'm going to assume that the British style is how City ambulances are going to look from now on.

If I may, I have recently reviewed the 60383, but my review is in Russian.

Instead, I wanted to share a Flickr album with you

They sell in many stores including Lego stores "Mir Kubikov" yet there they are costly. I bought mine on Yandex market online store for half a price. 90% of new city seta re there, I also bought the garbage truck and Penguin Slushy Van.

Hoe your country is getting legos after sanctions cuz of war in ukraine?

I build 60385 now and it was funny to build, in my opinion, this set is good design and bad price

[ks6349]

What is the best price, or the price you will probably get quickly for a USED City set released in recent years (retired, but not too long ago). Assume the condition of the bricks is average, not in a perfect condition, not in a horrible condition though.

 

Just take an example, is a USED CITY POLICE set selling for an average $1 of 20 pieces worth getting?

Depends on the set, for example, something that retired last year you might be able to find for retail, whereas something that retired 3-5 years ago would cost you a bit more

Speaking of which, is $100 a good deal for the 2020 police station?

For example, Mountain Police Headquarters 60174

663 pieces for approx. USD $30. What do you think? Condition: USED

The country continues to get everything. There is so called parallel import. The only difference is that some articles have become far costlier but there's no shortage.

Meanwhile, I've recently received my Garbage Truck and the Penguin Slushy Van. Also, my sister brought me the two new bikes (60356 and 60358) from Italy.

That's the original full price , I didn't get that police station, even when it was available for half price.

I got the 2022 version instead , which is obviously smaller but I like it a lot more. (planning to expand the building with the 2023 academy)

I agree! The 2022 one most certainly made up for the 2020 attrocity. Plus I love the little van that comes with it.

Yes, the 2020 Police station was so ugly I just skipped it. the 2022 Police station is the first city station I have got.

I got the set for half the price that year and just used it for part expansion. I still have my 2014 police station up and running.

[Maple]

There was no 2020 police station. I refuse to admit that set exists even though I think I own it. (60% off) 

That reminds me I own the latest one and I never built it. I got it for half off. I have no idea where I put it. All the police stations in my town become office buildings as I don't have criminals in my town.

Yes, that was ugly. I don’t especially like the fact that it’s flat.

I really don't like saying this but that's a really ugly MOC. 

Having built it I think it's great toy and a horrible set if that makes sense. The modular-ness of the set is really nice and easily the best feature, just the modulars are very 4+. I would have loved it as a child. But again I got it for like $43.18 shipped. At $100 it's garbage and easily the worst Police Station ever created. Decades from now we will show our great great grandchildren this set and it will symbolize the terribleness of 2020.

but it's USED, not new and sealed in bag. Still good?

I skipped it immediately without any hesitation, consideration and regret.

The 2022 Police station isn't so the best, still has too much room for improvement, but at least it comes with base plates, which makes things a lot better. The 2020 one was just awful.
