LEGO Creator London Bus (40220) Available for Purchase at LEGOLAND California

LEGO Creator London Bus (40220)

If you missed out on the LEGO Creator London Bus (40220) last year and you’re near LEGOLAND California, you may be in luck. I’ve been told that they have received a shipment of them and are selling them outright for $12.99 each. This is way better than what you can expect to find currently on eBay.

As an eBay Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

The London Bus was originally free with purchases of $75 or more at LEGO Stores and on Sop@Home. This is also a good time to pick it up especially with a rumored Double Decker Bus (10258) coming in July as they pair up well.

Will X-Men Characters Be in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2?

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 Agent Venom

E3 2017 is now over and there has been a lot of coverage for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2. On the character select screen that has been shown off plenty of times, one thing that we haven’t seen yet are X-Men characters. If you’ve played the first game, you probably remember that there were plenty of X-Men who were playable.

One thing that has been asked over and over during E3 is that will there be any playable X-Men characters in the sequel. The question has been dodged or ignored but we finally may have gotten a hint about it. IGN did a dev interview with Arthur Parsons and he has stated that he “can say absolutely nothing” with a little smile and “do not be worried.” To me, that sounds like a hint that there might be some X-Men characters in the game.

We’re still months away from release so there’s still time for TT Games to add them in if they haven’t yet. Their next even is San Diego Comic Con and Arthur has confirmed that he will be there to talk about the game. We’ll most likely see more character reveales and hopefully see some X-Men characters.
