These seem to be ticking up in price again. I'm seriously considering a color shifted 'city' from light to dark. Maybe the underside too? For those of you that have bought parts, I'm definitely OK with Used internal parts to keep the price down, but for the top, should I just go with New? It seems like the tiles are such a key component that the risk of discoloring and scratches just isn't worth it? Also, thanks for the Lego PAB tip. Got a bunch of black technic 1x16s for 79 cents!
