uaford Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Brickset released an image of what looks like a new polybag of a double decker bus...seems like it would be a perfect promo for August when the Big Ben 10253 set becomes available. Looks pretty cool! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a super-sized poly? I will certainly welcome it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxman Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Very nice. Too big to fit on Tower Bridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxman Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 WIth all these London themed sets (Tower Bridge, big Big Ben, now this poly). I wonder if they'll do the London Eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordoflego Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Love it, reminds me of vw bus poly and I don't care if it's bigger or not. When I saw it I thought of vw poly and I think it will be desired by many..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feed Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Nice poly, but the routemasters haven’t run in London for 10 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedingman5 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Per the instructions, it appears to be 117 pieces give or take. Likely another sweet blue box. http://cache.lego.com/bigdownloads/buildinginstructions/6160834.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feed Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Route 211. So yes Big Ben Promo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Might be a boxed promo, like The Fountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordoflego Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Looks like a Big Ben promo, even advertises it on the side of the bus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Hope it will be a GWP available with any purchase and not just Big Ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it was at another time before the T1, actually 41999. I remember going to Birmingham and my friend building it on drive back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Honestly I don't think they've ever done something so specific. I've seen GWP Star Wars poly with a certain $ amount Star Wars purchase. Same with Friends/Elves/Princess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inversion Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 One of those tourist buses I always curse at because they stop on the crossings and can't see whether the traffic light is green or red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguelze Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 After the crappy parrot Lego are giving very nice offers... Fountain, Classic Knight, London Bus... Curious of what we'll see in September... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martae54 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 almost time for these! You guys think supplies last the full 15 days advertised.. Or opposite thoughts? Maybe it's too much at $75 with no other VIP magic? Guess I really just want to talk about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 My son is waiting to get the Ghost Rider set, so we'll be spending enough to snag one of these for sure. Seems like an easy $20 value either now, or longer term paired with a Tower Bridge or Big Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
