If you need lamp posts I use these:

in my local hobby shop this pack costs about 5$. so that's 2,5$ per lamp... and the shaft is hollow so you can add LEDs inside the lamp for lighting...

after I painted it (sorry for the bad photo - but you can see the size of the lamp compared to Ramos):

Not sure Im following. You get 10 30mm bases for 3$ and get for 4 Lamps for the 10$ which works out to 2.50$ a lamp....

I'm thinking Harbinger is referring to the pack of 10 plain black plastic bases, not the insert packs where you do indeed get 5 in a pack. He is also referring to the scenery pack which consists of only street lamps, which I'd link for you but my food is ready now.

Edit: Yay Stern!

That is what I thought as I have just bought 10 30mm liped bases & they cost me £1.10, I cant recall the price of the inserts as I do my own & like them fairly simple, so have not bought any so far.

Start with ...

7 minutes latter....

Granted its a bit crappy but if had some talent and spent 15minutes instead to measure the grooves, line up the blocks on edges, and put a real paint job on it (oh and glue it together,) it would be suitable in a pinch or budget. IE.. this just to express idea not trying make something for actual use ;)
