Product Description

The LEGO DREAMZzz Mr. Oz's Spacebus (71460) is a playful and imaginative set that combines the familiar look of a school bus with the futuristic design of a space shuttle. The build is an exciting journey into the dream world, where Mr. Oz and Mateo must escape from a band of nightmare Grimspawn.

The main build is a large, sturdy space bus with a removable top and a cargo bay at the back. Once the main structure is complete, the builder can choose their own path. The first option transforms the bus into a sleek, fast space shuttle with rockets and firing blasters on the wings. The second option adds a massive "dream cannon" to the top and builds two separate vehicles: a small starfighter and a mini-spaceship, which can be stored in the bus's cargo bay.

The set includes a great selection of characters, including heroes like Mateo and Mr. Oz and their sidekicks, as well as a variety of villains. This allows for rich, open-ended storytelling and battle scenarios right out of the box.

Useful Guide

• Building Experience: The set comes with story-led paper instructions that are fun to follow. For a digital experience, you can use the LEGO Builder app, which provides 3D instructions, allowing you to zoom, rotate, and track your progress.

• Playability: The "2-in-1" feature is a major selling point. Encourage children to try building both versions to get the most value and creative fun out of the set.

• Interactive Functions: Remind kids to use the opening cockpit and cargo ramps to store the minifigures and smaller vehicles, and to use the firing blasters during their imaginative battles.

• Compatibility: As a LEGO DREAMZzz set, all the models and characters are designed to be compatible with other sets from the theme, allowing you to create a larger, more complex dream world.
