I was named after the King of Norway who watched my team Kristiania Kertslag play against Hearts during their 1912 European Tour.
It was a very special occasion to have a king there!

The club with no shame!!!

400,000 x £79 = £31.6 Million.

Test of their loyalty . We'll see the colour of their fans money now.

What a fabulous start to the week. Just when you think they can't give any more they come up with this.

Oh ma sides......

To be fair, this is likely made up by some random guy with a 3D printer rather than mass-producing these things properly with a factory and moulded plastic - meaning it probably costs somewhere in the region of £78.50 to actually make the damn thing.

Get wee Farquar to knock together some plastic bricks in the basic shape of a bus with no roof. Don't bother with windows... they'd only lick them off. Stick some plastic wording all over it and Budge's yer auntie. Worth £79 of any gormless mugs money. Never mind it doesn't look anything like the bus they used in 98... it's the thought that counts.

[WoreTheGreen]

Did what’s the S in Mcginn buy one

[Deansy]

I actually saw Budge get off a No.31 today in Princes Street and initially thought that she was either -

A) Showing her pressed-for-cash supporters that she doesn't think she's any different to them and uses public-transport the same as the 'ordinary people'

Or

B) Hearts/Levein have shafted her so much (in Hearts case - financially !) that she's no choice but to use public-transport !


But now I see what it is, for the free advertising Hearts are giving LRT with, what is sure to be, the fastest-selling piece of sports-merchandise in world-history thus attracting world-wide media coverage - Budgie gets a free bus-pass !

P.s - as one of the muppets has pointed out, it's not even a 'replica' as the paint-job on the model-bus is different form the actual one used in 1998 !

People are missing the big picture here. There is a class and dignity in this carriage, a mode of transportation that would do justice to that great lady who has won our hearts, altered our consciousness and captured our souls with her beauty and grace. I refer of course, to the Queen of Hearts herself.

Any commerative keepsake endorsed by this wonderful and dignified lady is a required purchase, not just for grateful Hearts fans but for all lovers of the beautiful game. All I can do is sit back and marvel at the splendor of this wonderful collectors item and yet again praise the selfless vision and altruism of the magnificent Queen of Hearts in making such an item available to ordinary men and women.

I'm wondering if the good doctor could maybe interest the givers in Play Dough.

It gives them the chance to mould their favourite moments in history or recreate blob like replicas of their heroes in a much more liberated way than just having her picking what they are offered, and at a fraction of the cost.

For example there's no way an owl made out of dough could be sold for £4000. Buses and life like stadiums with views of Edinburgh Castle can be replicated at a fraction of the original cost and time.

So long as they can be prevented from eating it the possibilities are endless

I was one of the people looking for a Hibs version of this after the cup win - and £80 isn't unreasonable for a decent lego set.

This however isn't a decent lego set. Not only is it not actual lego but it looks like crap - and if you look closely doesnt appear to even actually fit together properly.

All in all, its a thumbs up and a well done to the hearts marketing and design team who have fulfilled their brief perfectly. In the finest traditions of that club, they've taken something awesome, put a unique hearts spin on it, and produced something utterly awful.

When you think about it its very much like what they've done with the game of football and Edinburgh.

That's a rip off, a genuine Lego set wouldn't cost you that for an equivalent.

Apparently so. There should be an investigation into how they afforded those special effects. Cheats.

[Aim Here]

That's a rip off, a genuine Lego set wouldn't cost you that for an equivalent.

Desperados! �� �� ��

Lego has factories that can make injection-moulded plastic bricks to order and keep production costs down. This is just some tube with a 3D printer doing a very small and expensive run of these things, and I suspect the cost of making these is pretty damn high to begin with. I suspect the margins are a lot lower than you think.

The only saving grace for this business model is that they're maybe not stupid enough to have manufactured the whole run yet. If they have, they'll likely turn a loss when not even the most hardcore Jambo chooses to shell out cash for this guff and they knock the price down below what it costs to make. Otherwise, they make them to order and it's not a catastrophe for these geniuses...

I reckon it has been, and if that was Hibs releasing that video in response to that PR disaster we'd probably get away with it. However hearts are so spectacularly tinpot that no-one can really be sure if it's a serious video or not. Plus they're so po-faced in everything else they do that trying to pull off a humorous response just falls flat on its face.

All drinks free but £50 to get in or 2 free pints of lager with every glass of Coke, which costs a tenner. Probably can't get around it that way but I'm surprised the establishment club couldn't sort it with a phone call to their council pals.

It’s a good bottom six steady eddy type signing.

Looks like lessons have been learnt as I hear Lafferty is on his way in the Sumer as well. McLean will double up as a coach which is a two for one type bargain the fudgster loves.
