Review of Aston Martin DB5, Lego's latest product in 22 years

The Aston Martin DB5 for Lego's August 22 release, the SPEED CHAMPIONS. I couldn't wait to own it when it came out, and I'm sure it's on a lot of players' lists. However, after the actual use of the suit, some flaws can not be ignored, let's take a look at its specific performance ~

Number: 76911

Title: Aston Martin DB5

Number of parts: 298

Release date: August 1, 2022

Number of people: 1

It is believed that many players will compare this suit with the 10262 of Creator series, and it is not difficult to draw a conclusion: this 76911 is really cheap and fine, and it is superior from the perspective of cost performance.

The first is the headlight parts, from the shape of a brick arch, is a new mold parts, very beautiful. As an eight-compartment car, it should be more limited in shape, but many new mold parts make the overall shape of this Aston Martin more smooth and comfortable than the 10262.

The Aston Martin DB5, James Bond's first car in the 007 series, is a rarity. In addition, the James Bond figure is exclusive to the set. This figure alone is worth more than half of the set price. This is probably the only time that Lego has released a Bond figure.

Lego chose the sixth actor Daniel Craig as the prototype, which is also the James Bond of many people, right? Light brown hair, after removing the hair, you can see that the doll is a one-sided expression, it is a pity. However, looking at the deep eyes, the locked brows and the marked chin, I have to admit that Lego has done a very good job in restoring the expression. In a white shirt and black suit, a classic Bond look, Lego has printed both the upper and lower body, as well as the tiny folds of the garment on the back. But is it funny that the doll is holding an ordinary wrench? This is a super racer's guy. Why, isn't Bond supposed to carry a gun?

When we look at the Aston Martin, we have to say that the body posture is very smooth and elegant, thanks to the use of a lot of newly moulded parts. The details are inseparable from printing and stickers.

The front section, the big and small lights and the intake grille are nicely printed. The bumper is a good use of two horn parts and a ring of silver parts, and the light grey body really goes with the silver. Part of the license plate is painted with silver plating parts and stickers. Different stickers correspond to different 007 movies: the license plate with "BMT214A" appears in GoldenEye; "BMT216A" comes from Goldfinger, while BMT has British plates. "4711-EA-62" is a French plate, and "LU6789" is a Swiss plate, both of which are used as alternate identities in the film. "A426900", from the movie No Time to Die. The replaceable license plate completely satisfies the player's desire to restore the plot.

On the front cover, stickers are used to restore Aston Martin's logo. At the same time, four curved slope parts with sharp corners are used on both sides to show the retro feeling of the front face of the car. And the protrusion of the air inlet is also done well. Here is an "illegal LEGO assembly" with L-shaped parts directly inserted into the engine parts, which is quite interesting.

A lot of circular parts are used on both sides of the body, which is why the lines of the body can be so smooth. But then, there is another drawback: stickers, and they are obviously color difference stickers!

The cyan decals and light grey body are really annoying. I don't like decals per se, but I need them for detail. I can't expect Lego to be printed entirely. However, such an obvious color difference is not in line with Lego's high standard, high quality and high price. Of course, despite the color difference, the stickers do reveal a lot of clever details: the side vents on either side, for example, mirror where Gatling shells were discharged in the film. Also on the side are handlebars and a sticker detail of the "DB5" logo.

If you want to see the interior, you still have the same formula, you can't open the door, you have to lift the skull.

The Speed alternative has more interior room for people than a race car, no bumps in the double rear seats, unfixable baby seats, and a central control, gearshift and steering wheel. Unfortunately, his hands are not facing the steering wheel.

The DB5's tires are newly moulded, and you can see the claws used to puncture enemy tires in the movie chase, though Lego doesn't have an extension mechanism.

The sight came to the rear windshield, which is also a new mold of the whole piece, the fluency of the body shape is also very important. But, abominable color difference it appears again! The image is probably just fine. It looks obvious to the naked eye, a milky grey.

Finally, let's take a look at this very impressive and slightly regrettable movie car.

First of all, Lego has added some new model parts and printed parts to this set. From the types of parts, Lego has made great efforts to create some special shapes by opening new molds, and the effects presented are excellent and the body is smooth and beautiful.

The second is the overall design idea, still maintain the basis of the 8 grid car, in some structures, there will be some other sets of form, plus excellent skills, the whole car structure is very solid, very weight in the hand.

Finally, there's the action figure, an unprecedented and possibly never-ending exclusive Bond, with few prints and strange hands, but significant!

Of course, it is inevitable to talk about the color difference, the color difference of the sticker, the color difference of the light gray body will be very uncomfortable, and the color difference of the whole piece of the rear windscreen.

This is the end of this review, here is our fan's own test driver Fred, to bring you the most real driving experience, more exciting, please pay attention to the LEGO Warehouse of Bad Snow and Jim's World!
