REVIEW: 60407 Red Double-Decker Sightseeing Bus

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on LEGO City 60407 Red Double-Decker Sightseeing Bus:

THE GOOD:

• A great looking double decker in LEGO city scale.
• Love the fact there are 8 seats and even added the stairs.
• Very interesting build.
• New Baby Stroller!

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• A bit pricey without discount.

Another set added to my wish list when it was first revealed, particularly I like London Buses and I do think this one is inspired by them.  Given it's a sight-seeing bus, the open top double decker design makes sense.  The building experience has been fun and there are some interesting techniques to create the colour contrast pattern.  A few stickers here and there to add a bit more vibe to this but the bus itself is very good looking and detailed.  You can open it up very easily and it reveals the interior with details like the stairs.  It also able to fit 8 passengers.  The printed tiles for destination is just icing on the cake and will be very useful.  While there are not new minifigure heads in this but there are some very nice torso plus a new baby stroller which has been done very well.  Personally, I built this with a right hand drive configuration given where I live.  It's a great little set I would recommend although the price without discount is a bit too high.  Having said that I got this with 20% discount and it's not hard to find good deals on LEGO City sets!
