Maybe, depends how much of a hangover I have. 

This looks like a set from the 80s

It's exactly the same design.
Highly unlikely.

I'm was being sarcastic about the LSq store ;-)

That wasn't even an official release. Someone took the bus from Leicester Square lost the brick in meantime while transporting it posted later on twitter which was 5min later deleted.

From the very beginning that was the reference picture which leaked about week ago with complete design, no missing bricks nor design flaws.

You are calling missing brick a manufacturer/designing flaw give me a break.

Meh. Easy pass for me.

Regarding all the seating, it would've been nice to have a new part that has at least one stud on it so you can actually have minifigures sitting on the bus without flopping all over the place.

Honestly, I like this version (760) better regardless if some consider it dates.

Oh man. I had completely forgotten about this set. I too had it as a kid and it was a favorite.

$140? Sweet.

One more official video. This time a speedbuild so @TabbyBoy can get a look at the wheel arches. No dual rears is a bit strange, guess they would have encroached too much.

 

ouch!  $180 Canadian.  It is inline with current exchange rate; however, most sets have been much better priced.

So £109.99 for the Saturn V is $119.99 and £109.99 for this is $139.99. You say "sweet," I say something else.

Seems like the UK lowballers are out on eBay again. £179.99 Fast'n'Free. That will give a maximum of £40 if you didn't pay tax on it and ignored travel costs as well. Not going to be joining the QFLL gang on this one.

A wasted opportunity...

It´s only going to get worse today as the 2xVIP brigade come out in full force and start selling at RRP to use the double points.....

Free gift with Bus is a drivers license.

Does this one have an oyster card reaer built in as well as green and brown studs on the floor?

Yes, I do. I think it is the best set of 2017 so far.
