Brickset released an image of what looks like a new polybag of a double decker bus...seems like it would be a perfect promo for August when the Big Ben 10253 set becomes available. Looks pretty cool! 

I like the bus. But will be saving some cash for the winter promo's.

I do believe this will hold its value as it could be paired with Tower Bridge and Big Ben. One should at least get 2 of these.

People say about pairing this with TB and BB but in fact it's not to scale with the two giants. London bus is only a stand alone set or nicely displayed with the other mini poly vehicles from the past.

Wish it were minifigure scale. As is I don't care much for it. Won't work in a city scene, not scale to the big ben. It is very nice for a freebie but overall pretty meh.
 

It might not be hard to moc a minifigure one with two sets and a few extra pieces. hmmm

Plus shipping that incorrectly with any of the two British giants will either cause a dent in the big heavy box or a pancaked London bus, or both!

Couldn't you just MOC the HP Knight Bus in all red, maybe remove the middle layer and extend it?

I doubt the casual collector will care about scale. All they will see is there is a London Bus that will be a nice display to go a long with their TB or BB set and will want it.

Are the deco stickers or printed bricks?

Thank you! If it's all stickers not sure if that'll affect the value. Those bricks itself doesn't seems to be rare at all.

I am not sure there is much long term value here, other than the stickers, I'm sure you can Pick a Brick the bus nothing unique or rare as far as I see....

I have read somewhere that the london bus will be available as promo in germany in September.

And it makes a sense, since the October is 1. Xmas set promo time. But I will accept if they give both Xmas and bus together for purchases over EUR 55 :-)

I got my 7 London buses, hope they turn out to be a sleeper!

Was in lego store and picked up the store calendar, UK will get the London bus from 3rd to 22nd October on purchases over £50

Or throw it into the "regular" store calendar thread, and I'll add it to the first post.

Funny story. A couple weeks ago when I saw the London Bus promo come up in a thread, I cursed myself for missing that promo. When I want to the garage tonight to look for the Mystery Mansion to build, I realized that I had three sets of the London Bus. I was very happy with this discovery but also very troubled that I had forgotten that I ordered the VW, T1, and Mini Cooper during that promotion. My Lego addiction maybe getting out of hand.

Just like a typical London bus... nothing at all, then three come along at once.

Today I received my order from the last day of the London Bus promo. They included a sticker sheet in the shipping box which also includes alternative advertisements for the bus.

Did anyone else receive one of these?

I had one with my first London Bus, not with the others. I've seen the buses sell for an extra £5 with this sticker sheet.
