C’est Hoth Bricks qui nous livre aujourd’hui ces images qui viennent confirmer les rumeurs qui enflaient depuis quelques jours : le set 10258 – London Bus de la gamme Creator Expert sortira en accès anticipé VIP dès le 17 Juillet prochain, pour une disponibilité globale le 1er Août. Il sera mis en vente dès demain en exclusivité dans les stores londoniens
Il compte 1686 pièces et sera proposé au prix de 129,99 €. Vous remarquerez sur les photos plus bas que le toit et le premier étage se détachent de l’ensemble, permettant d’accéder à un intérieur vraiment très détaillé. Les publicités sont réversibles, avec des pubs récentes ou des années 50. Ce set est également l’occasion pour LEGO d’introduire u nouveau type de pneus.
Nul doute pour ma part qu’il viendra rejoindre ses « cousins » de la même gamme, et notamment la Mini Cooper – 10242 pour rester « British » 😉
Pour le reste, je vous laisse découvrir les images, et le descriptif officiel LEGO.
All aboard the London Bus!
