Set 40230 - LEGO London Bus - Fairytale review :)

November 20, 2016 5 Comments A+ a-


Once upon a time, there used to be a Happy bus originally from London which could fly and swim and took its passengers to far off magical lands.
Once when he was returning back to London, a strong wind blew him into unknown land.
It was so windy that the bus suddenly lost control and disappeared in the tree shadows.

And it was falling and falling ...

Fortunately, nothing happened to the crew, but the Happy bus got stuck in a mud and it was possible that something else got broken. Passengers didn't help him out and left him totally alone in the forest.

Land of Costume Based Minifigures
The bus landed in the land of Costume Based Minifigures who were amazing creatures enjoying gatherings, delicious food, fun and parties.

"It will be a perfect party, Shark ! Finally a chance to meet the famous Hot Dog Man or Cat Girl. And imagine all the delicious food, the freshest vegetable, wine, ... It's a pity that it is so far away from us." There was no chance for them to get there on time so they stopped dreaming and continued in their walk.

"I haven't been there for such a long time, that I mostly forgot how much fun it is to glide on the moss."rejoiced Banana Man.

They had no idea that they were approaching the abandoned bus. But suddenly they heard someone's moaning, so they went after hearing.
Happy Bus finally found by two rescuers
"Ohh, good strangers !" whispered tired bus. "Please help me get out of the mud and I will realise your every wish." They were very sorry for the bus and begun immediately rescuing him.

The Happy Bus smiled again and thanked them many times. "How do I repay, my friends ? "asked the Happy Bus. They looked at each other and it was clear that they thought the same thing.

It took only a while and they disappeared in the clouds heading to the Hot Dog's House.

It was something that they've never experienced and will never forget.

After a few minutes, they began flying back to earth and landed right in the Hot Dog's garden. And thanks to the Happy Bus, they became immediately stars of the tonight's party.

They said goodbye to the Happy Bus and wished him a safe return back to London and went to share their unexpected adventure with the rest of the Costume Based Minifigures on the party.

A lot of fun with this new LEGO London Bus set which I received for free with my latest purchase at the LEGO store. Very cute and playful set. :-)

How did you like the story ? Have you also received this promotional set with your LEGO order ?

I will be very happy if you comment below.

I contemplated ordering from LEGO Shop At Home to get the London Bus promotional set, but I held off from buying anything. I may get the snow globe this Friday, as I'd like to get the Tower Bridge Creator set before it's retired.

About your story...

It was great, especially the props for the sky. With your imagination and creativity, you can present an interesting review for any set. While some people prefer a straightforward reviews, there are many others who enjoy reading a review that's also a story.

I think that you should not hesitate this time and buy the Tower Bridge set during The Black Friday because the snow globe looks awesome. I would love to get it too. It's a pity that the globe is only for US market ... :-( You always have something extra ! :-)
I am glad that you liked my fairytale review. I think that every set deserve to be part of some story which makes him more lively before it is carefully displayed on shelves in your living room. :-)

That's great! I wish I shared in your enthusiasm toward the snow globe, as I'm not too keen on it. Maybe I just have too many Santa Claus figures already. I would prefer double VIP points if I were to purchase Tower Bridge, but LEGO is not currently offering them (it looks like they will in December in US). Also, I feel a bit guilty buying something for myself this time of year. We will see...

I also noticed they're giving away the Gingerbread Man next month, but without his 'Dunk Me' mug. I think I have a few of him already from series 11 packs.

I appreciate that the snow globe is a buildable set instead of something pre-built. And it looks quite neat, in my opinion. I should probably hurry up with my Black Friday order because it's possible that they might run out of stock soon ... As Christmas are coming, I think that many people are buying Christmas presents in these days.
As I didn't complete the Series 11, it would be nice to have the Gingerbread Man promo soon. :-)
