Top Gear is here to bring you, amongst other things, up-to-the-minute reports and ideas for Christmas presents. In July. Today, we present the suavest Lego set in the world. For everyone who baulked at the 3,599-piece Bugatti Chiron set, Lego"s revealed something more manageable, and possibly cooler. This is Denmark"s premier brickmaker"s take on James Bond"s Aston Martin DB5, first seen in Goldfinger back in 1964. Good news: this one"s a mere 1,290 pieces. And yet, Lego"s aimed to faithfully recreate plenty of the original 007 DB5"s gadgets in 1:8th scale plastic brick form. As a result, the DB5 features a functioning ejector seat, canny revolving numberplates, the pop-up rear bulletproof screen, the axle-mounted tyre scythes, plus representations of the machine guns, radar and on-board telephone. Do you expect us to talk? No Mr Bond, I expect you to refer to the instruction booklet! And so on.
