James Bond DB5 (10262) - Off the assembly line and ready for action!

This weekend proved to be a productive one as we finished off the James Bond DB5. I presented it to Dave not too long ago and he was thoroughly pleased with it!

Lego certainly saved the best for last as we got to build (and play with) the ejection seat. It launches the seat an impressive distance into the air! It's also very easy to reload the seat and reset the roof for the next unfortunate passenger.

A significant portion of the roof folds away, leaving lots of room for the seat and its occupant to take a little ride. The mechanics are very fluid - pulling back on the activation lever (which is cleverly hidden as part of the bumper) retracts the roof while pushing it back into position launches the seat into the air.

We also installed the tire shredders onto one side of the vehicle - they sure do look menacing!

This is going to look great on display at Dave's house. I can't wait to see pictures of it on his TV stand!

And Dave, remember that if you ever decide to expand your Lego collection in any way, we are happy to help you out! Tell your friends!
