I have to agree with Adrian on this one. If you’d wanted those parts, you could have bought up on the set, and then sold off the parts you didn’t want.

I think the parts are expensive because they only appeared once, there were only 3 of them in a 698-piece set, that set was a S@H exclusive from 5 years ago, and because they are really useful.

I haven’t analyzed the Cloud City parts inventory, but I’d be surprised if the parts-prices aren’t directly tied to how common the parts are.

OTOH, I certainly understand the frustration of wanting a specific part, knowing it’s available, but not being able to justify the purchase price. In some ways, that’s more frustrating than wanting parts that LEGO never made...
