LEGO Creator Expert 10262 James Bond Aston Martin DB5 available in August 2018

Great news for LEGO and Bond fans: according to the latest rumours, LEGO will release its LEGO Creator Expert 10262 James Bond Aston Martin DB5 in August 2018.

The arrival of an James Bond Aston Martin DB5 LEGO product has been teased by the LEGO, Aston Martin and 007 in the past weeks.

A Facebook Event suggests the new LEGO Creator Expert Aston Martin DB5 will be unveiled on July 18, 2018 at 10:07 AM at a special event at the LEGO Store Leicester Square, London.

Thanks to calendars and pre-order pages in LEGO stores in Hungary and Italy, it seems to be certain that the LEGO Creator Expert 10262 James Bond Aston Martin DB5 will be released in August, and available to pre-order from August 1, 2018. The price is probably set around £135 / €150 / $175 (but this is not confirmed and the exact price might be different per region). This would make it one of the more expensive and therefor probably more detailed and larger Creator Expert models.

The Creator Expert models are classified for 16 years and older. Other cars were previously released under the Creator Expert brand of LEGO, for example a Ferrari F40 (not produced anymore), a blue Volkswagen Beetle and red Volkswagen T1 Camper Van, a green Mini and a London double-decker bus. These models give an indication of what we can expect from the DB5. Probably (hopefully) a lot of moving parts, opening doors, working gadgets. 

Several buildings were also released under the Creator Expert brand, including the London Big Ben and Tower Bridge.

The release of the DB5 will mark the first officially licensed James Bond LEGO toy but it might also be the last, since LEGO understandably stays away from real weapons and war toys. But it is still possible that the collaboration will continue next year for Bond 25, perhaps if the DB5 turns out to be a massive success.
