The rumours were indeed correct, the next Lego Creator flagship vehicle has arrived and it’s 10258 London Bus. It will be generally available on August 1st, but will be available to VIPs from July 17th (if you’re a Lego fan and not a VIP, why not?) and exclusively in London Lego stores from tomorrow – July 1st.
Price wise, it’ll be £109.99 in the UK and $139.99 in the USA, and with 1686 pieces, that’s 6.5p per piece. If you already have other Creator vehicles, this will be nice addition to your shelf, as it’s designed to the same scale.
