My favorite of the features has to be the ejection seat - the mechanics were cleverly integrated into the vehicle and work so smoothly. The seat gets some very impressive air when launched - it had to be at least a foot of travel.
Other neat gadgets include the extendable bullet shield, the hidden machine guns that rotate in and out with the running lights and the rotating license plate holders. I was also very impressed with the detail in the engine of the car.
If there is something I need to pick on as a critique, it is that the retractable roof segment does not sit perfectly flush with the rest of the roof. So, if you know what you are looking for, it's quite evident that there is something going on there. You can see in the picture below that there is a square that seems to be slightly elevated from the roof.
Aside from that though, this build is spot on. It's full of interesting gadgets and features and it is a MUST HAVE for any James Bond fan. Be aware that novice builders may have difficulty though. Lego wasn't joking around when they classified this as an expert set. As with many other builds that have a lot of moving parts, some portions of the build are tricky and if you aren't paying complete attention, it is very easy to miss something only to realize it later and have a lengthy fix ahead of you.
