Someone took the bus from Leicester Square lost the brick in meantime while transporting it posted later on twitter which was 5min later deleted. From the very beginning that was the reference picture which leaked about week ago with complete design, no missing bricks nor design flaws. You are calling missing brick a manufacturer/designing flaw give me a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneknightr Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Meh. Easy pass for me. Regarding all the seating, it would've been nice to have a new part that has at least one stud on it so you can actually have minifigures sitting on the bus without flopping all over the place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordoflego Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 $140? Sweet. https://shop.lego.com/en-US/London-Bus-10258?CMP=EMC-VIP2017_06_30_LondonBus_a_EN_US&HQS=hero_b_img_NA_EN&RMID=SAHVIP_2017_06_30_LondonBus_a_NA&RRID=21733206 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 One more official video. This time a speedbuild so @TabbyBoy can get a look at the wheel arches. No dual rears is a bit strange, guess they would have encroached too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lego rules Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 ouch! $180 Canadian. It is inline with current exchange rate; however, most sets have been much better priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrickdad Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Seems like the UK lowballers are out on eBay again. £179.99 Fast'n'Free. That will give a maximum of £40 if you didn't pay tax on it and ignored travel costs as well. Not going to be joining the QFLL gang on this one. A wasted opportunity...

It´s only going to get worse today as the 2xVIP brigade come out in full force and start selling at RRP to use the double points..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
