Is it just me or have prices for these little guys gone through the roof? I really dislike the set packaging. Once a child builds the set, he doesn't want to take it apart--ever again. Wish it had a little bit more creativity built in. But this set of figurines had parts that went with everything. So my grandson really liked them.

I love this set. Why? Because it has been ages since TLG released a set that made it possible to put a few figures in your city. It would have been nice if there was another woman in stead of the police guy, but hey, we can't have everything can we.
