LEGO James Bond Aston Martin DB5 Creator Expert Set is Available Now

LEGO has launched the 10262 Creator Expert James Bond Aston Martin DB5 set, and it's almost as tricked out as the Goldfinger version it is based on. The set includes 1,290 pieces and features details like rotating license plates, a working ejector seat, tire scythes, and front wing machine guns. The only thing missing is a James Bond minifigure but, sadly, the set isn't scaled properly to accommodate one.

If you want to be among the first to own the James Bond Aston Martin DB5 set, LEGO VIPs can purchase it right here for $149.99. Becoming a VIP is easy (and free) so there's no need to wait around until August 1st when the set will be made available to the general public.

In addition to the features mentioned above, the LEGO Creator Expert 10262 James Bond Aston Martin DB5 also includes a detailed straight-6 engine, an interior with a concealable tracking computer and a door compartment containing a telephone. You can also raise the rear-window bullet shield, deploy the wheel-mounted tire slashers and pull back the stick shift to deploy the front-wing machine guns. Below you'll find a video that details the new set along with an official feature list.
