Nice bus and great to build, although there are about 30 benches that fit inside. Once completed, it's a beautiful result.
I am 60 years old and I can definitely say that I have found a new hobby. It is very fun to build with all the details you encounter. The color is also nice and now it proudly stands in my display case.
I like to collect the creator expert sets so this set looks nice with the rest of them.
It’s a fantastic item and a testing build, which was made more so by not having all the pieces. I get there can be missing parts but thought getting these ordered would be easy. Received an email saying that my request wasn’t valid! Perhaps different wording could be used? Please can you send me the missing parts - see photos.
The build itself was straight forward. Details: I was a bit unhappy with the sticker applied to the upper-front windscreen. It's a thin, red line and, with no straight edges to use as reference, it nearly impossible to apply squarely. The pole in the entryway is flexible to allow some of the small bits (i.e. tickets and umbrella) to be removed. But the flexing required to do so is pretty severe and the bending appears to stick around, leaving the pole looking bendy permanently. General Build: Build appeared very solid until the last couple steps. The two front corners tend to pop off unless the removable roof is reattached with great care. Also, the rear-view mirrors fall off with the slightest touch. Even the vibration from rolling the bus along the floor will cause the mirrors to detach.
Beautiful quality, as we expect from LEGO, and a clear instruction manual to build it.
This is my second Lego kit (I am a late starter). I find the kits focus me and this one was amazing. The detail in it - adjustable rear view mirrors, the drivers side window that slides open and closed, the fire extinguisher and the umbrella stand to name just a few - amazing! I had the same problem as one of the other reviewers with dark gray, gray, black in the instructions but it was in a place that is not visible so I am doing my best to just "let it go". I even use the pdf instructions on my laptop so that I can zoom in and I am not sure how I made the error, but it is okay. Only I (and you readers now) know. I am surprised it did not come with a little driver and a couple passengers. I will add some from other purchases. Overall, if you can get this, it is wonderful and helps to feed my need to be around British things!
Really enjoyed building the London Bus set. Brought back so much nostalgia and I loved the extra details like the gum under the seat and the umbrella in the stand. It's just like the real thing. Didn't find it repetitive or boring at all. I would get so excited every time a section came together. Highly recommend giving this one a go!
I really like vehicle models and as I work in a transport adjacent industry and have done for a number of years in different areas this kit seemed like a logical fit. It is a classic looking double decker bus that brings to mind the old Routemaster buses that not only ran in London but were prevalent in Manchester in the late 1980s that I used to get to and from Uni every day. First off, lets talk about the punny destinations - they gave the other half an I a great deal of pleasure and amusement. Brickston, Yellow Brick Road, Brickadilly Circus and Twobytwo Square. There are quite a lot of stickers in this kit and they are my nemesis. The ones for the number plates and destinations weren't too bad but I really struggled with the ones for the advertising signage on the sides. Fortunately, I can report they peel off and restick easily and of the 6 on the side signage I think I had to remount 5. There is some repetitive building - all those seats! However, it didn't get boring which I thought making 14 seats for the top deck after making around 12 for the bottom deck would have tipped me over the edge but I still enjoyed it. Helped that it became almost like piece work and I was watching a Lego Expo video and discussing it with the other half as I assembled them. Great build that is really a display piece but the wheels work and there is no reason why the mini figures wouldn't fit that you may have in your stash if you wanted to play with it. I'm happy shoving this on a display shelf so I can look at it and grin. Number Of Pieces: 1,686 Average Price Per Piece: £0.06 Build Time: 5.75 Hours
My recent experience of Lego has been helping my granddaughter to build her Lego Friends sets, so this London Bus was something very different for me – a ‘lockdown’ project inspired by a schoolfriend sharing his project! It was a very enjoyable build and the completed model looks even better ‘in the bricks’ than ‘in the pics’ – in particular the tiles on the sides look very heavy on the box and instruction booklet yet are fine on the model. There are many lovely details, the engine, staircase, ticket box, fire extinguisher, and seats. I made my own destination labels for the route that passed my school. I made a couple of minor changes: • I took out the 1x1x3 pillar from the front of the driver’s door and replaced it with a spare 1x1 flat tile – makes the cab look better. • Also replaced the three transparent bricks below the windscreen with red 1x1, 1x1 with knob, and 1x4 bricks – and used the spare clear round brick to make an offside side lamp to match the one on the nearside (I took the 1x1 with knob from stage 45 and replaced it with a plain 1x1). I also built it with the shorter window as the last on the lower deck, and in the corresponding position upstairs, with a slight rearrangement of the bricks and plates above and below – it looks better balanced. As others have said, it would be nice to have at least driver and conductor figures. The only real disappointment is the front of the upper deck, the corners look a mess and the screen (with that awful sticky label) slopes too much – it really needs special bricks for the top corners to merge the front and side roof curves properly. I am now investigating the extra parts needed to extend the whole model by 2 studs to eliminate the short window altogether – downstairs the seats over the rear wheels would be for four as on the real thing, upstairs the seats could be moved back 1 stud to eliminate the awkward ’1½’ seats at the front, and the rearmost seat moved forward 1 stud with a proper seat rather than the bench. Anyway it’s got me being creative!
This is a great build because of the all the little details. I love the tickets that actually fit in the ticket box. The pink single dot Lego used as a piece of gum under one of the seats is the kind of detail I really appreciated when building it. The worn seat stickers are a nice touch too. Be careful when placing the stickers as they only give you one of each!
I bought it for my 7yo son and he absolutely love it. It was a small challenge to him but he having a great time with it. Lots of fun with building and after. Highly recommended to every Lego lovers
Really a very nice bus! I counted my working hours. I ended up at 10.5 hours of work. I was able to complete this in 1 day. I didn't have much patience. I think it's a nice bus.
Written for: LEGO Creator Expert London Bus - 10258 This is a beautiful set that, in my opinion, is not very difficult, but does require some time and attention. The layers of the bus can be separated so that it can also be played with. However, the roof of the bus comes off too easily.
After visiting London a couple years ago, this set kept calling me, and I finally decided to pick it up. I'm glad I did; it's a pretty nice set. I'd definitely prefer moving away from stickers to printed specialty parts for multiple reasons - and this set is fairly heavy with the use of stickers - but they are good quality and look nice when applied properly. I just don't like that messing up a sticker can take away from the final product... Not a big deal to me stopping to take a couple extra minutes- but a potential serious issue for younger builders and even adults with even the slightest dexterity or vision issues, etc.
Oh boy was I happy to see a new vehicle on display when I visited the Lego store. I purchased it right away but then put it aside due to time and "life" happening. After months of collecting dust, I finally had the time to enjoy making this beautiful London Bus. Let me first say the build was fun and not tedious. Details are wonderful and small features of the bus is a definite plus, such as the ticket box, fire extinguisher to name a few. Size of the vehicle was perfect and proportionate to previous Creator Expert vehicles. This definitely was a beautiful addition to my collection. Build time took about 5 hours while I was watching some TV, so I was not 100% focused which is why it took a bit longer. The build is divided into 4 groups with bags numbered from 1~4. I've added some pictures for each group finishes, along with the extra left over pieces that Lego always includes. Whole process was very straight forward and enjoyed every bit of it. Full disclosure, I'm pretty OCD when it comes to attention to details. Instructions #64~#66, there is 2 pieces that require dark grey 2x2 but one of the 2x2 turned out to be lighter color that matched color of #65 piece, but in the picture it clearly was not. Definitely not a deal breaker but just sayin' :) Also, there were a lot of stickers so take your time, especially the adverts on the side of the bus. I did mess it up (because I was watching TV) and had to peel it off and put it back on correctly. I wish they were printed on the pieces like the "NASA Apollo Saturn V", or include an extra sheet? :) One last thing was that the roof was dull plastic and not shiny, which kind of made me think this is non-Lego like (cheap look). With that out of the way, I did take out a star for this, however, it is a great set and a must have for all Lego fans! For my next build, I'm planning on getting the James Bond Aston Martin DB5.
Its a beautiful model ,that is fun to build too! The only boring is to build the seats(many seats...) The building is easy,but i hate stickers! As a finish model its look good,and you can have it on display in your living room:-) I do a face lift of the front,and ad some smaler headligth ++ I think the orginal ligths was to big..
This is my most expensive/biggest Lego purchase (so far) and it's safe to say that I am definitely not disappointed! I've had my eye on this for a while and I was so excited to get it. The build was a lot of fun. A reasonably challenging build partly because it was a bit difficult at times to find the piece I needed amidst the vastness of red! But even so, it was a very interesting build which resulted in my dad joining me and being as captivated as myself! It was especially interesting to see how the whole thing evolved as I got further into the instructions. Every time I build a Lego set I love experiencing new building techniques that force you to pick up the model, twist it around and say"wow" with a giant smile on your face. This set did that plenty of times. The end product is beautiful. The shaping of the entire thing is great especially the rear of the bus with the straight back curving into the roof. My favourite area is the boarding area with the used tickets box, umbrella stand and spiral staircase. I also love the sliding window in the cab, the seats and the details on the upper deck such as the newspaper, drinks can and chewing gum under the seat (also the two tickets in the used ticket box). The way the roof and upper deck lifts off is brilliant and it fits back on very nicely. There are a lot of stickers but once applied they look fantastic. The Lego puns they added on the destination boards are brilliant! :D Putting minifigures in is a lot of fun and it looks awesome! Overall, I think I can safely say that this is my favourite set that I own and I would recommend it to anyone! It is simply beautiful.
I love the cute cars Lego made, i.e., T1, Beetle, mini cooper, etc. The bus is cute and I strongly recommend it. About the London bus, I like the ticket box, the umbrella holder and the fire extinguisher near the door. I wish the ad boards on both sides of the bus would be more versatile. The second floor is a little bit boring with a bunch of seats. I am very happy to have it. So far, my most favorite is still the T1 van.
this set in mine and mums standard is 90% at this current time. to make this reveiw 100% the set could have included 1 driver minifigure and 1 conductor minifigure then this set is in our veiw would be spot on for price. this is a really fun and entertaining build for all and i would recommend it to other who like a bit of a challenge and fun we like the colour and overal design as well
