St. Louis and London Bus are such sought-after sets.

Even though it had no minifigs, I still like that set: it was a virtual window
part set. I still have some of those funky idented red plates. The pieces with
the stickers have long separated, and the stickers themselves look like
garbage. And the red corner slopes... <dreamy sigh> I also have a nice small
parts drawer filled with the windows from two of those sets. Truly a real town
set if there ever was one.

The black stickers on the bus listed Hyde Park as one of its stops. Too bad
that wasn't a set. Now _that_ would have been something.
