The Full Take
There's a reason the London Bus became a fixture in AFOLs' collections — that bold red profile does real work on a shelf. The build leans into structural authenticity: opening doors, a detailed interior on both decks, a working steering wheel. It's not flashy technique-wise, but it's satisfying in the way a well-engineered replica should be. No minifigs at all, which is a sting for some buyers, and the interior detailing doesn't fully match the exterior promise. Still, the price-to-experience ratio at MSRP was exceptional, and the set holds its own in the secondary market. A B+ that earns the grade the old-fashioned way — by being a complete, confident object.
