LEGO has been teasing this for weeks and the secret is finally out (officially). This is a set fit for James Bond himself, assuming he had the attention span to sit in one place and assemble several hundred little plastic bricks that would recreate anything other than a woman. Honestly, I don’t think James Bond would be a LEGO fan, but I doubt he’d be a movie fan either so what does he know?!
This baby is loaded with all the latest gadgetry from the Q Branch of 1964. It’s a little boxier than the real deal, but that’s to be expected with a sexy beast like this and all it’s subtle curves. Personally, really like it, but I fear the $180 price tag will make it difficult to pick up if the run is short lived. That’s my Voltron money!
I’m only including a couple of pictures here, but if you want to see more and I mean a lot more, check out the site’s Flickr page for some great shots.
Here’s the announcement video.
