That's contrary to rumours it would arrive on 15th August for Lego VIPs (31st for regular buyers), which came from a leaked Lego release calendar. So it looks like we'll have to wait and see what Lego has to say on 18th.
^This.
With the AM logo on the teaser page it was either that or the DB10 and the DB10 isn't as well known as the DB5. -{
Bond: “I must be dreaming.”
Unfortunately, I don't think Danny Boyle will have much to do with the marketing and licensing. But I hope he can give us a better film.
Where's this picture from David?
Thanks David.
Is anyone a little disappointed with that image if true? I don't think they've done the DB5 justice. Looks a bit boxy to me. The rear quarters and front end and bonnet are poor.
Review of the DB5
At the Lego store? So I take it that Skyfall model will be there?
If I was into Lego I can imagine that would be lots of fun.

Agreed! Looking forward to building it!
Even though clever I think anyone who spent 2 years building the partworks DB5 may agree that it cannot be beaten and certainly not by something which is not DB5 shaped ...nice try Lego!
Why do EON only ever exhibit/auction the fibreglass SKYfall lodge signs? the screen prop is grey polyurethane to simulate stone!

I am disappointed in the design -- should have been much larger to possibly better capture the car's contours; look at the new Bugatti kit -- but I expect LEGO did a fair amount of analysis on price point, part count, etc. to arrive at this. Aston Martin may also have had some say; even though this is a thoroughly different animal to die-cast, I know licensors try to not to issue too many products in the same scale.
Wouldn't be surprised if the sign came from PropShop and not EON as I believe they did the castings.
The rest was a mish-mash of studio and replica.
This is the final version. Personally, I don't mind it too much. 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.
Maybe Lego could have made it have the curves of the DB5 while maintaining the gadgets? I'm not an expert.
