I thought I do some contribution as well. Found this one:
Lego Ideas 21301 Birds Model Kit
I thought this is a pretty good price for a product which is already retired.
Cheapest so far is around $180.
Hope someone will find this useful.
CamelCamelCamel.
I know, but its a very unusual set. I think its going to look nice once all assmebled
Covid inflated Lego prices 4 fold!
More along the line of a 5 year old retired LEGO Ideas set than being covid inflated.
I agree, I had a lego called the Ghost 75053 , got it on sale at Target for $49 as it has a shockingly crashed box, sold for $200 recently (No missing parts but the box the buyer didnt want as its so bad). On eBay its around $500 now
The description at the top is a bit messed up!?

Hopefully you get the right set!!
Surely it must be cheaper to Bricklink the parts.
You’ll be surprised, postage costs add up very quickly.
You’ll also be putting an hr or two (guestimates) to compile part lists and orders, wait a month or two for them to arrive, and assuming you manage to get all parts from only a few sellers, you still won’t have physical instruction or box (for the collector) unless you want to pay decent dough for them.
Youre probably right normally. Altho I wonder it might be fine here. Going by the pic the colours and pieces are so standard in this one.
Edit: comment below solves that.
Bricklink compiles the parts list for you, just add the set to your wishlist and then part it out. I just did real quick and the parts came to $114 plus postage so this price for a boxed set technically isn't that bad. The bird name tiles are nearly $9 each alone. Ditch those and this set could be replicated more cheaply.
I thought this was ozbargain not ozrippoff
Been this price for a few weeks. Issue is you never know which condition the box will arrive. Damaged, creased…
wow .. this $69.99 when i first bought it in 2015
