    I didn't realize legos were taken so seriously until this Bond thing came out. It is getting a ton of hate. I thought legos were supposed to look like you know "legos" and the realism is for the high end replicas.

    Sure wish LEGO had a Bond license.

    F*ck, LEGO got a Bond license.

    I’m not sure it’s hate that we’re seeing, it’s more disappointment that it’s come this far but a couple of basic things, such as the curve of the roof, look like they could easily have got right with a bit more effort. Some elements are really clever but overall it’s just a wee bit off.

    So many straight lines, this is how Volvo would have
    Built a DB5 :D

    Check Facebook: Ya, it's hate alright.

    Again, I think if it were larger it would have allowed for more curves, angles, etc. However, I expect that LEGO looked at the $100K -- probably more -- they paid in licensing fees to EON & AM and said, "okay, in order to defray that cost, we've got to sell X units which will only happen at price point Y meaning the set can't exceed part count Z."

    Mmmm ... Volvo did also give us the P1800 (and particularly the ES edition) so they can do cool body lines.

    I’ve just ordered this online and I was wondering if anyone who’s built one could give me an idea of the amount of time it takes to build please?

    I was given this as a birthday present last week from my ‘Lego mad grandson’s’.

    It’s not something I would have bought myself, the kit comes in four build segments with over 1,200 pieces in total and I must say whoever designed this kit is a genius.

    The box states it is for the ‘Expert’ Lego builder, and as I have never really built anything in Lego before I did find identifying the parts a bit difficult at first, but thankfully the instructions are very concise and after a while I really got in the swing of putting it together.

    So far I have just completed the first build segment, which has taken about 4 hours.

    I will post further pictures as the build progresses. -{

    Nice one, I spend a considerable amount of time building lego batman things for my 4 year old boy, not sure I'd attempt this tbh, so good on you.

    I would say it's time to Lego of my expectations.

    'Thank You' Chris, I'm getting a real buzz building this, takes me back to my Airfix days in the 60's -{

    'Hey Gymkata' break open the box and start building -{

    Second build segment completed, just over 2 hours.

    Got mine last week for my birthday and spent a little over 5 hours building parts 1 & 2, which takes you up to page 90 of the instruction manual! I listened to Goldfinger and Skyfall as I worked. Here's hoping I find the time soon to complete it!

    Wonder if there's any chance of a no time to die lego tie in?

    The 80s Aston would be great - or something with minifigs would be even better.

    @005 I agree, a Lego version of the Aston Martin Volante would fantastic! If that is not possible, I would gladly settle for a minifigure set of characters from the film.

    I just finished this Lego as well. It was quite fun to build and I haven't had a set in quite some time. I would say it takes about 6-8 hours. Most of that time was spent finding all of the pieces...
