Start saving your money, Penny, for James Bond’s legendary Aston Martin DB5 is coming soon to LEGO.
The Danish gods of blocks have been teasing something with a 007/Aston Martin flavour for the past couple of weeks, and now – thanks to a certified Hungarian LEGO Store – we know that it will be the DB5, as first seen in Bond’s third film outing, 1964’s Goldfinger.
As is their way, LEGO are being all dramatic about the reveal, with the latest tease being a silhouette of the box.

While there’s no confirmed release date, those who know more about LEGO’s machinations than us suspect that it may be hitting as soon as July 18.
It looks like our self-imposed LEGO-buying embargo will soon be over…
