Pros: Building experience is great Play features are good representations of the gadgets in the movies Particularly the ejector seat is fantastic Sketched details of the mechanisms in the booklet are a nice bonus Cons: Unfortunately the shape isn't faithful to the original model

If you're expecting for a true-to-life "model", this set isn't necessarily that. It's a James Bond spy car! Sure, it's roughly a DB5, but it's all about the gadgets. The gadgets: they are neat, and the kids like them--but the build is flimsy in some areas (headlights especially) and this r…

The model would look great, but the color... It looks more like an old Russian automobile, than a classic Bond car. Lego should really make chrome/silver part for these sets.
