London Bus Reviews
“This version of the London bus is at first glance similar to 40220 London Bus, the previous version released in 2016. But where that set used just 118 pieces, this new set uses 245, so it’s about double the size of that previous model. At the same time, it falls far short of... More 10258 London Bus’s 1,686 pieces, making it a more mid-scale offering — though it is still far too small to be minifigure scale. Official dimensions mark it as 15cm (5.9in) long and 8.8cm (3.5in) tall.”
Brick Fanatics
“40953 London Bus boasts turning front and rear wheels and a removable top deck section, as well as number plate, route number, destination and banner stickers. The upcoming LEGO Creator set should make for an ideal gift for those wanting to celebrate one of the UK capital’s... More most recognizable sights in brick form.”
“The microscale build recreates the mainly red double decker hus with rotating wheels, transparent windows and stickers displaying the vehicle's license plate, route number, destination and London advertising. The bus measures 8 cm high, 15 cm long and 5 cm wide, with the... More roof being removable to get a closer look at the mini yet accurate interior of the 2026 model.”

About Creator Miscellaneous

The LEGO Creator theme consists of a variety of subthemes that revolve around sets that focus on buildings, creatures, vehicles, robots and recently more specialized sets such as botanical and even the Chinese New Year. Many of these sets have fallen under the 3-in-1 label which include instructions in a single set to provide multiple alternative models. Originally created in 2001 with a focus on larger bucket sets, the LEGO Creator theme has expanded outside just bricks to later include minifigures.
Miscellaneous was introduced in 2006 and currently consists of 5 sets.
