Frequently asked questions
How much is LEGO City Placemat (852516-1) worth?

Why is LEGO City Placemat so expensive?
City Placemat was released in 2009 and has since retired. Once LEGO stops producing a set, the only supply is what is already in circulation, so sealed copies in good condition compete for a shrinking pool of stock. That scarcity, not the parts, is what moves the price.
