A life-size Lego version was unveiled at the London Lego store just
over a week ago. It took about 57 days to build and weighs two-thirds
of the weight of the real car.

According to Lego, the iconic Aston is made up of 347,954 plastic
bricks and even features several of Bond's gadgets to lose the
bad guys. It's got a rotating license plate and a bad-guy ejector
seat. In fact, part of the roof structure and the passenger seat
is missing, making it look like Bond's nemesis has already been
ejected from the car.
