There are around 100 real Routemasters running around USA & Canada these days so its not too hard to get a ride.........
A good toy and full marks to Mattel for putting it in the range :thumbsup:

I found the red and white BoB Routemaster. Now I just need to find the blue one and the red "British Invasion" bus. I'm glad to see you found the new one.

Here's a pic I took awhile ago. I've since picked up the red & white BOB version and the olive-colored one.

The Lesneys are from my childhood.

Is the 2008 BoB green DD and the 2009 green DD the same color shade? I'd hesitate to buy the BoB if the difference is not so noticeable as I've already got my 2009 release. Can anyone help?

2009 Bob version (red & white) is a must-buy, but it's not in stores here yet. Any idea what other color possibilities for the DD in future since the DD's colors are quite restricted?
Great pics, sschevyman.

The 2008 BoB is a dark green and the mainline RM is a dark olive. I have both and thought the same thing. On comparing the two side-by-side, they are very different.

Yes they are well different greens.

Cool. Thanks dragonhead & sschevyman!
What other colors do you think are possible on the DD bus since the actual factory colors are already released? Curious on the 2010 release :-)
