James Bond and Aston Martin are synonymous with one another and LEGO is celebrating this connection with an Aston Maritn DB5 LEGO set. On sale now at various LEGO stores, this model car is incredibly faithful to the historic car and is a fully detailed 1:8 scale replica of the original Aston Martin DB5. In addition to being a realistic depiction of the actual car, the DB5 LEGO set comes filled with miniature versions of classic Bond-era gadgets, including the iconic ejecting seat.
The entire DB5 LEGO set isn't exactly made for children and is more of a collector's piece for diehard Bond fans. The LEGO vehicle features 1,290 pieces, all of which work together to capture the legendary silhouette of the car. LEGO even went as far as to include correct Aston Martin badges and accurate wheels.
