While we here in Asia are waiting patiently for the LEGO Creator Expert London Bus (10258) to arrive on our shores, the fine folks of London have the exclusive chance to own a set right now!
Five LEGO Brand Stores around London are stocked with the highly anticipated set which goes on sale on July 1st, two weeks ahead of every other LEGO Brand Store in the world.
The five stores involved in the advance sale are Leicester Square, Bluewater, Watford, Westfield and Stratford City which has the set retailing for £109.99.
On top of being able to obtain the set early, Londoners were treated to a meet and greet by both LEGO Senior Designer Morten Graff-Wang and LEGO Creator Lead Jamie Berard who were also on hand to add their signatures to the purchased sets.
And as an added bonus, you will also receive a LEGO Driving Licence for every LEGO Creator Expert London Bus that you buy which is a really cool souvenir to have.
Bright Bricks was also constructing a mosaic of the London Bus outside of the LEGO Brand Store at Leicester Square with the help of the public. Attendees are welcome to build a portion of the mosaic which will then be added to the complete the brick painting.
Jamie and Morton also gave a cool little interview inside an actual AEC Routemaster that you can view below:
So if anyone is in the United Kingdom, either working or just passing through, should really check the set out at the LEGO Brand Stores listed above. You will be able to pick up the July Gift-with-Purchase as well if you get the London Bus plus the LEGO Driver’s Licence to boot!
