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.
