where to buy retired sets (lemmy.ca)

I may be asking for a unicorn here but I've recently discovered that Lego does Christmas Village sets. I'm trying to get a few to do with my family and some of the ones I want are retired. People on Kijiji want $100 over the original price and I'm wondering if there is a better avenue to find these that doesn't support this system of buying sets and selling them sealed at the cost of my left one.

I don't really care if it's used, I just want to start a fun new tradition with my kids.

Alternatively, do retired sets come back into circulation again?

This is the site that I know for old sets:

https://www.brickeconomy.com/

I believe there is a site where you can buy individual pieces to match set instructions but I can't find it right now. Unique pieces to the sets would be difficult but you could get close.

I don't think old retired sets come back but they do release reimaginations of sets so something like this could come back.

Alternatively, you could just get a bunch of loose lego and build your own towns every year. Get a lego train set to add in too.
