Just a quick reminder that the #10258 LEGO Creator London Bus is now available for LEGO VIP members (regular release will be at the beginning of August). We have talked about the set before (see: LEGO Creator London Bus Press-Release), but I added some of the basic description and other details here again for your convenience. You can find more info on the set’s page at the Online LEGO Shop. Enjoy this iconic vehicle! 🙂
Here is the official description of the set: Take a nostalgic journey with this LEGO Creator Expert replica of the world-famous double-decker London Bus. Grab the hand pole and step onto the open rear boarding deck, complete with a used ticket bin and fire extinguisher. Then take the half-spiral staircase to the sightseeing deck where you’ll find a cozy seating area and a number of other items, including a forgotten umbrella, newspaper, empty beverage can and even discarded chewing gum stuck under a slightly-worn seat. Slide the door to access the driver’s cab with panoramic windscreen, lift the hood to reveal the engine, remove the roof and upper deck to access the interior, and choose your favorite decade with the reversible transit-advertising posters, featuring a 1950s or present-day London promotion. From the distinctive lines and curves of its bright-red bodywork, to its specially made standard-tread tires and destination sign, this beautifully crafted model oozes authenticity and intricate details that capture the character and charm of a celebrated London icon! 1,686 pieces. Price: $139.99 – BUY HERE

Very nice set. I hope it will be available for a while.
It’s a regular LEGO Creator set, so I should be around for several years, or as long as there is interest. 🙂
Thanks for the reminder! Do you think this will run out like the other early release sets?
There is always a possibility that a set is super popular when it first gets released, and there might temporarily go on backorder. But this is a regular LEGO Creator set, so it should be around for at least a couple of years, most likely longer. 🙂
I went to london this holiday, so I certainly like this build.
You did???!!! That’s awesome! 😀
