Figures for Routemaster

[Davo]

Hi Everyone!

I am in Australia.

Does anyone know how many Routemaster figures there were with the original Hachette Partworks?

I am at the stage with the Agora model where I am ready to attach the lower roof, but have no indication when (and if) Agora will make the figures available to be able to position any in the lower deck before attaching the lower roof.

I was led to understand that Agora would have the figures as an optional purchase, but have since been informed that they (Agora) are still trying to source them.

This is frustrating, as I have to stop the build pending confirmation of the availability of the figures.

i asked agora sometime back about the figures and they said it was unlikely as hachette charged more there was a sale on the remaining routemaster magazines a few weeks back 50% off whether they have any of the above named issues left i don't know but i doubt very much agora will be doing them

Hi Giddykippa

Thanks for the info

There are no issues on sale anymore at Hachette.

The original Routemaster (from Hachette) was never available in Australia.

I am very dissapointed. 😞

Have a search on eBay for ‘resin people 1:12’ Heaps show up and they look far far better than the ones supplied by Hachette.

No probs that's a good option from hilux there is also the option of getting personalized 3d selfies printed they are expensive but it's just an idea ebay might be your best option

Hi again I also ordered a couple of other 1/12 figures (not Hachette) but I think they are pretty cool only £7.99. It all depends if you want to keep it original. I also done a fee mods on my bus.

Ebay £7.99 each I wasn't going to put any figures on the bus but I thought I'd put a couple in. I'll put the lady at the front and the man on the long seat
