Description

The flagship vehicle of a whole theme

Unlike smaller supporting sets, this converted bus is the central vehicle of the Hidden Side range: a mix of classic school bus and improvised ghost-hunting vehicle, with visible add-on equipment bolted onto the roof and sides. That flagship role also shows up in the piece count, with 689 pieces putting the bus well above many smaller vehicle sets in the same range and giving it correspondingly more interior and detail work for play scenes and modifications, rather than just a plain shell.

256 elements, the highest part variety in this comparison

With 256 different elements across 689 pieces, this set has the highest part variety relative to total piece count among the sets covered here, ahead of even larger building and castle models. That points to a technically demanding build with many different specialised pieces, for example the bus's add-on equipment, moving parts or detailed interior fittings. If you enjoy building detailed vehicles rather than broad, simple shapes, this set delivers a correspondingly challenging build with plenty of varied steps.

Five minifigures for the ghost-hunting crew

With 5 minifigures, the set brings along a small crew that fits the Hidden Side story of ghost-hunting and gear. That's enough to place both human characters and at least one ghost figure in or around the bus at the same time. For a flagship vehicle set in this range, that figure count is typical and adds play value on top of the bus's technical build.

Orange, grey and black as the signature colours

The palette of light bluish grey, bright light orange, black and dark bluish grey creates a strong contrast between the bus's darker base colour and the bright orange add-on equipment. That combination keeps the vehicle easy to recognise at a glance and clearly sets it apart from the darker sets in the same range. The parts list shows exactly how the 256 elements split across these four colours and the different build sections of the bus.
