Description

The car with cinema's best-known gadgets

The Aston Martin DB5 became arguably pop culture's most famous car through the 1964 film Goldfinger and has appeared in several James Bond films since. It's best known for its hidden gadgets, including rotating number plates, extending tyre slashers and an ejector seat. Set 10262 translates those details faithfully into LEGO form and makes several of these classic features genuinely operable rather than just visually implied. Fans of the films will keep spotting details throughout the build that trace back to specific moments in the Bond series.

1,297 pieces of bodywork and mechanism

With 1,297 pieces and 312 unique elements, the emphasis sits clearly on a high level of detail rather than sheer piece count. Minifigures are deliberately absent, since the Creator Expert line consistently favours scale-accurate vehicle models over play scenes. The parts list on this page shows exactly which elements form the bodywork, interior and moving functions, which is genuinely useful for a model with this many features packed in. The interior isn't an afterthought either, with seats, a steering wheel and a dashboard rendered in reduced but recognisable form.

Silver-grey instead of chrome

The colour palette of light bluish grey, black, white and dark bluish grey recreates the car's classic silver paintwork and chrome trim as closely as standard LEGO colours allow. That restrained, elegant palette sets the model clearly apart from brighter themed sets and suits the real car's timeless design. Builders after realistic vehicle models in muted tones will find a useful stock of matching grey elements here, and this avoidance of bright colour is exactly what lets the finished model hold its own next to more serious display pieces.

Who this model suits

The Aston Martin DB5 suits film fans, car enthusiasts and collectors of Creator Expert vehicles rather than children looking for a toy car. Built-in functions such as the ejector seat and tyre slashers add interaction, but they clearly serve the faithful recreation rather than casual play. Anyone wanting to check colours and piece counts beforehand will find a reliable overview in the parts list on this page, and the set also pairs well with other Creator Expert vehicles for anyone building a small collection.
