I think the white Lotus from The Spy Who Loved Me would be a better fit for a Lego version due to it’s sharp lines and angles. Fingers crossed we get one of those too. Imagine a Creator Expert version that can convert to submarine mode as well. 🤞🏻
I reckon they'll do it, but they probably didn't want to release it too soon after the white Lamborghini Countach incase people thought they looked too similar
Simply amazing design... there is so much potential with LEGO's 8-wide vehicles so it is great to seem them branch out even further... my dream set would be an 8-wide VW bus 😊
You can see that the stickers aren’t matching the color of the lego bricks unfortunately, seems to be the case in a lot of sets nowadays. Other than that, I think this is a great tiny set, seems like this is closer to a die cast model than a lego model! Truly remarkable! Love seeing your reviews, keep up the incredible work.
As much as I love the Creator Expert version for the build/gadget functions, this smaller variation is all around closer to the mark. Only real noticeable discrepancy as mentioned are the fender flares nowhere present on the actual car. Other than that for as simple as it looks, still features some mind blowing techniques/unusual parts usage throughout the build. Definitely excited to add this one and the Charger RT to the 8 wide collection. Side note/ Kitt would also be an awesome choice for this new line.
One little detail I like about this set is that it comes with a little piece that looks like a handgun as an extra piece so you can give Bond a ranged weapon. I don't know if they planned that or if it was just a happy coincidence.
What’s Mr.Bond like without his gun? It would be like in License to Kill where M famously revoked James’s license to kill and asked 007 to surrender his gun, for 007 to appropriately say “Farewell to arms.”
the strange thing is that the color on the back window piece on the car shown in the interview with the designer looks to match better with the rest of the car than the set you just build. (or is that just the lighting) I do like the 2 new cars. thanks again for your great video
After what Christopher Stamp said in his presentation I now made up my mind that among the next movie icons there has to be the Lotus Esprit. Not sure if a Wet Nellie conversion is really neccessary, but the basic shape of the Giugiaro Esprit is so iconic and lends itsself to brick building that the choice should be obvious.
That hood scoop design is super unique. The only other set I can think of that uses a similar technique is The Mandalorian Brickhead figure. The front parts of his helmet aren't connected by studs but are instead slid into place and then held on by other bricks built over them. Not exactly the same but pretty similar
A note about the stickers: I bought this set yesterday and the stickers are a perfect match in colour to the grey pieces. It looks like the colour issues may hopefully be limited to the initial run of sets or the pre-production copies sent to reviewers.
Probably the first one of these cars that I’ll sticker up. Most I’ve bought just to get extra parts and check out the techniques used. I want that read window without prints. It looks like it could make a good cockpit dome for a ship.
Speed champions are my favorite sets in terms of building experience, and as much as i love star wars, speed champions have great piece usage, clever connections and satisfying curves. Definitely picking up this one, would look perfect on my display.
As usual relly great and detailed review > THANKS so much !!! Designers pushed a step further with this model I think. You pointed out the 2 things that are still desappointing (even more with the new price point 25$) : background grey color sticker + color gap for print roof ! I was not at all into speed champions collection but started with iconic / vintage car like the Ford GT Gulf or Countach
Great video and overview... I'm definitely impressed, and interested to see what the rest of the series brings... I'd like to have seen a few more printed pieces instead of stickers and maybe a set of swappable/alternative machine gun headlights though
Nice review, thank you! I personnaly think 2022 will be remembered as a wonderful transition year for Speed Champions. Lots of models with new construction methods. The variety will be a challenge to follow in the coming years I am sure. I want them all and I enjoy building them...
For the “loose assembly” of the hood scoop, there is a similar technique used to shape the wheel wells of the flying ford anglia in the “75968 Number 4 privet drive” set. It’s not quite as complicated but it uses the same general idea.
Ah yes, the old “prisoner parts” technique, one of my favorites :) Parts that aren’t really attached but are locked in place by surrounding parts has so many applications, it’s super fun.
The new rear Window Piece is going be awesome for making 1940s and early 1950s era Cars that slope is perfect for making cars like Higher End Chryslers and Cadillacs.
LEGO also has the licence to produce this and the Fast and Furious so no real surprise about this. Definite purchase for me. Now they should do James Bond's Lotus :D
Awesome. As a collector of both Lego and James Bond memorabillia I'm stoked. I'll definitely be getting the DB5 to go along with my large scale Lego model and all of my Corgi DB5's.
Amazing build! Lego are making absolutely amazing things with Speed Champions, and this is one I think I have to get. Seeing as they've branched out to Bond and Aston's, I would LOVE to see them do the 1985 V8 Vantage from The Living Daylight that we saw returning in No Time Die, my favorite Bond car!
Thnks for bring us this so quickly after the interview, u rock, now we saw Optimus Prime (amazing) I would like to see transformers movie cars in SC form, bumblebee camaro and lots of autobots and decepticons.
I think at this point, Lego should start up a 007 theme. Maybe it will do as well as the Star Wars theme. Maybe they’ll even make their own 007 Lego game?
Absolutely love it, if there was on criticism for it is that Lego still hasn't figured out how to do printed pieces that are the same color as the Lego pieces as that glass print grey isn't quite the same color as the rest of the body.
The design is great as it is for Speed Champions in general, and I could live with the color of the stickers being off by just not applying them. But the color of the print on the canopy is so far off the color of the rest of the car it looks like a convertible to me. Which in the end makes this set a "thank you, but no" for me.
Yeah, I won't buy the set either solely for this reason. I had thought about replacing the tiles on the roof with parts in the old light grey color which matches the canopy print much better, but sadly the 1x1 round quarter piece were never done in that color.
I have just finished building mine. Took me about 2 hrs to build. I can't believe this ended up looking better than the much larger Creator DB5. I think if Lego re-did the Creator DB5, maybe do a V2, it would probably look just as good as this one and with the same working gadgets of course.
I don't really like the large-scale vehicules like the Ecto-1, the DeLorean or the James Bond's Aston Martin. They are just display pieces without life has they don't have matching scaled figs. But I love the minifig scale vehicules, such as the ones i mention above or the Classic Batmobile, it's so much fun to see these vehicules and characters interact with each others, like in Lego Dimension. So, James Bond in this scale ? Speed Champions theme possibly taking care of others famous vehicules ? I take it ! Some building technic are mindblowing. One downside is the stickers, this bluish grey color is really ugly. If I put the stickers, I think I will cut out just the small needed detail and leave out the large gray areas. Thanks for the review, and the very interesting interview you did with the designer !
I was amazed my 5 year old could build this, it would have done my head in. It looks amazing but breaks very easily (and complicatedly). Also Bond has a cool little gun as well as the weird spanner.
For anyone who wants to add B pillars for the car, get a light bluish gray strip sticker and place it on that rear window piece if you plan to make it as a moc build
I'm sure the 007 and TFATF sets will be big sellers. I hope that prompts Lego to licence more IP-related Speed Champion sets, including the Knight Rider one you referred to.
Like it was said in the video I like the addition of movie cars to the speed champions line. I know there are a lot of movies with iconic cars but I would really love to see Smoky and the Bandit Trans Am or the GMC van from the A-Team.
im really curious on whether we would get 4 seater vehicles like sedans, vans, etc. i believe it might need a new base plate for sure but really interested in that route!
Congratulations on getting the exclusive from Lego. This is by far the most exciting channel on Lego automotive sets. Fairly so. All the best with your channel! You are great! NOW. @LEGO, please consider more «ultra detailed expert level sets” of the speed champion scale. Most of your customers, even the richest of them don’t have mansions. Storing and exhibiting 10 creator expert cars is a real challenge. Storing am exhibiting 10-100 speedchampions scale sets, maybe very detailed, is much more easier fit. Many of us have wives and kids, with which we share space. Creator export items are just tooo big if you are really committed to a full scale collection. And it’s not even a question of money, LEgo is expensive by default, we’ve accepted that, let’s move on. @LEGO, don’t take too much space please. Speedchampions scale is perfect for combining detail with size. Let’s push this one way further in terms of product lineup
An interesting fact that I came up with myself is that only a small number of kits use metallic silver parts, and most often they use light bluish garay parts, but here they were used because the car itself was made in light bluish gray and LEGO were forced to make parts in in metallic silver to make them stand out from the gray of the car.
That is one solution. Light blueish grey car with metallic silver highlights. Another one, and more elegant one would have been: Metallic silver car with chrome highlights! Would love to see that soo much!
i love it how they made curves a more things but one important thing is missing and when its not there its destroying the look of the car that things are mirrors above bumpers
It's about the same price as the other individual sets, $20. As for the confirmation date IT IS confirmed that it will be released on the 1st of this coming august.
I think this is by far the best speed champions set that came out recently. Just think about the 8 (!) spare 1x3 silver plates. I think this one will blow up in the MOC market soon enough
This DB5 and the Dodge charger looks beautiful but I hope Chris can make more suv in their speed champions lineup or make a new lineup like the latest defender 110, Aston Martin DBX, Ranger rover. Land cruiser 300.
I wish they’d do transparent stickers where there is only a small detail needed and the rest is ‘background’ colour - because the match is often not great. Are transparent stickers more expensive?
I honestly see speed champions as a celebration of car culture. that includes movie cars, i whole heartedly welcome movie cars. i def would love to see them add even anime cars like the ae86 from initial D to the speed champions line.
With the black bricks and plates that are already harder to see on camera, the constant shifting and moving of the object did not help unfortunately. You can show the object by holding it steady and turn 360 degree slowly instead of turning them back and forth swiftly to show the details. Just some advice.
Great looking little car, but i cant understand why they cant make transparent stickers like on the dodge charger? Sure that would solve some of the color matching.
I think the white Lotus from The Spy Who Loved Me would be a better fit for a Lego version due to it’s sharp lines and angles. Fingers crossed we get one of those too. Imagine a Creator Expert version that can convert to submarine mode as well. 🤞🏻
It would be a good second set but as THE James Bond car, they were right to go with the Aston Martin first
I reckon they'll do it, but they probably didn't want to release it too soon after the white Lamborghini Countach incase people thought they looked too similar
I want that one too. I think it may be possible to build one using the Countach and adding some extra parts.
Ideally with land build and submarine build alternatives!
With the way the wheels work on the Creator Expert Back To The Future DeLorean, a CE version of Wet Nelly would be awesome.
Simply amazing design... there is so much potential with LEGO's 8-wide vehicles so it is great to seem them branch out even further... my dream set would be an 8-wide VW bus 😊
Not sure you'll get a VW bus as a "speed champion" though, but I agree lots of iconic cars that would look great at that scale.
@@Mike__B Then they should make a sub theme were they make regular cars in the Speed champion format
Did you use to follow the Grateful Dead around?
Speed champions are killing it with their car sets. If they are doing more famous cars, I hope they make KITT from Knight Rider.
i hope LEGO will make a Speed Champions KITT, this year will mark the 40th anniversary when the first season aired
@@danielsala81 Well the Lego announced three sets to release in summer of 2022 so one not yet released set could be KITT.
I hope they do a street legal Lamborghini Aventador
Next year will also be the 55th anniversary of the Love Bug so Herbie and KITT would probably be the best two options for next year
I would absolutely ADORE a set of the Interceptor from Mad Max, whether it be the version from the first movie, The Road Warrior or Fury Road
You can see that the stickers aren’t matching the color of the lego bricks unfortunately, seems to be the case in a lot of sets nowadays. Other than that, I think this is a great tiny set, seems like this is closer to a die cast model than a lego model! Truly remarkable! Love seeing your reviews, keep up the incredible work.
Dude yes KITT!
As much as I love the Creator Expert version for the build/gadget functions, this smaller variation is all around closer to the mark. Only real noticeable discrepancy as mentioned are the fender flares nowhere present on the actual car. Other than that for as simple as it looks, still features some mind blowing techniques/unusual parts usage throughout the build. Definitely excited to add this one and the Charger RT to the 8 wide collection. Side note/ Kitt would also be an awesome choice for this new line.
As a bond fan, it is a must buy! I think it looks great too and it’s good to finally get an official James bond minifigure
One little detail I like about this set is that it comes with a little piece that looks like a handgun as an extra piece so you can give Bond a ranged weapon. I don't know if they planned that or if it was just a happy coincidence.
That was definitely planned
What’s Mr.Bond like without his gun?
It would be like in License to Kill where M famously revoked James’s license to kill and asked 007 to surrender his gun, for 007 to appropriately say “Farewell to arms.”
I think this is the speed champions set I’ve looked forward to the most
This is truly an elegant car, a must buy for James Bond fans I dare say!
the strange thing is that the color on the back window piece on the car shown in the interview with the designer

Not sure if a Wet Nellie conversion is really neccessary, but the basic shape of the Giugiaro Esprit is so iconic and lends itsself to brick building that the choice should be obvious.
But will it have the transformation feature
The only similar building technique that I can remember is the one used for the stairs in the architecture trafalgar square.
yeah your are right but it not exactly the same. In Trafagar or Great Pyramid it is used to build fine stairs shapes
This is honestly my favorite speed champions set ever!!!!
That hood scoop design is super unique. The only other set I can think of that uses a similar technique is The Mandalorian Brickhead figure. The front parts of his helmet aren't connected by studs but are instead slid into place and then held on by other bricks built over them. Not exactly the same but pretty similar
Absolutely a stunning build. Thanks for the in-depth breakdown of the build! I’m definitely buying this now!!
A note about the stickers: I bought this set yesterday and the stickers are a perfect match in colour to the grey pieces. It looks like the colour issues may hopefully be limited to the initial run of sets or the pre-production copies sent to reviewers.
Probably the first one of these cars that I’ll sticker up. Most I’ve bought just to get extra parts and check out the techniques used.
I want that read window without prints. It looks like it could make a good cockpit dome for a ship.
I'm just wondering, if you can write to LEGO to suggest what other cars they could make, because I think that Subaru Impreza will be a good set
Speed champions are my favorite sets in terms of building experience, and as much as i love star wars, speed champions have great piece usage, clever connections and satisfying curves. Definitely picking up this one, would look perfect on my display.
For the hood scoop technique, I believe that LEGO used something similar for the stairs in the Architecture Trafalgar Square.
Oh my god, the building techniques are getting crazier each year, and im here for it, it looks awesome
As usual relly great and detailed review > THANKS so much !!! Designers pushed a step further with this model I think. You pointed out the 2 things that are still desappointing (even more with the new price point 25$) : background grey color sticker + color gap for print roof !
I was not at all into speed champions collection but started with iconic / vintage car like the Ford GT Gulf or Countach
Wish they'd do a Lotus Esprit from For Your Eyes Only , would be awesome
Great video and overview... I'm definitely impressed, and interested to see what the rest of the series brings... I'd like to have seen a few more printed pieces instead of stickers and maybe a set of swappable/alternative machine gun headlights though
Wow, I wasn't really interested in this, but seeing how it's built and the end result definitely got me excited :D
Nice review, thank you! I personnaly think 2022 will be remembered as a wonderful transition year for Speed Champions. Lots of models with new construction methods. The variety will be a challenge to follow in the coming years I am sure. I want them all and I enjoy building them...

I think of the stairs in the Trafalgar Square architecture set where they stack multiple of those pieces but in the 1x4 size to make small stairs.
Ah yes, the old “prisoner parts” technique, one of my favorites :) Parts that aren’t really attached but are locked in place by surrounding parts has so many applications, it’s super fun.
I need to buy this. I saw Goldfinger as a 13 year old in 1968 for the first time. Admission restrictions, you know. That car!!!
This is the set I was looking for this whole entire time!
The new rear Window Piece is going be awesome for making 1940s and early 1950s era Cars that slope is perfect for making cars like Higher End Chryslers and Cadillacs.
Amazing video!
I already have the large db5, but I can't wait to ad this one to the collection.
Looks better than the big one. And I would totally support an 8-wide KITT
LEGO also has the licence to produce this and the Fast and Furious so no real surprise about this. Definite purchase for me. Now they should do James Bond's Lotus :D
Thanks for the detailed looks at the new pieces! Makes it eaasy to add them to LDraw!
so many amazing techniques and parts! its awesome!
Awesome. As a collector of both Lego and James Bond memorabillia I'm stoked. I'll definitely be getting the DB5 to go along with my large scale Lego model and all of my Corgi DB5's.

@RacingBrick, great video! Do you still expect one last Speed Champions set, 76913, for this year?
I don't think there are more sets for this year
A lot of fantastic speed Champions out there since they made the switch to 8 stud.
5:07 something similar was used for the stairs in the Trafalgar square set
Yep, very impressive. Can´t wait to see other movie cars. Thank you!
So jealous of you right now, lol! My son and I can't wait to build this one so thx for the vid and keep them up!
I wish lego released more speed Champions sets per year. Need more movie cars! Like a Delorean!
The design is great as it is for Speed Champions in general, and I could live with the color of the stickers being off by just not applying them.

The detail next to the steering wheel is a concealed map which links into a tracking device bond has.
I have just finished building mine. Took me about 2 hrs to build. I can't believe this ended up looking better than the much larger Creator DB5. I think if Lego re-did the Creator DB5, maybe do a V2, it would probably look just as good as this one and with the same working gadgets of course.

I was amazed my 5 year old could build this, it would have done my head in. It looks amazing but breaks very easily (and complicatedly). Also Bond has a cool little gun as well as the weird spanner.
It is such a great looking model for such smaller scale.
I hope this set is available at Walmart when it’s released.
Great video! I can't wait til it arrives later tonight!
That interview was awesome
For anyone who wants to add B pillars for the car, get a light bluish gray strip sticker and place it on that rear window piece if you plan to make it as a moc build
Damn Movie Cars in Speed Champions is pretty sick! Now i need a 67‘ Impala with the Winchesters
I would absolutely LOVE if Lego Made an ECTO-1 Speed Champions
The coolest part as we see in the movie is the headlights of the DB5 has machine guns in it in No Time to Die
I hope they make the supra from Fast and Furious and I also hope they make the nfs 13' mustang gt350 and the Sesto Elemento
Can't believe these stickers. LEGO is sick.
Aside from a few imperfections I actually like the Speed Champions version better. It feels more "rounded" for lack of a better word.
Are there any lego sets with more over the top design and so crazy connections? Speed champions builds are consistently suprising for me.
This will be my first speed champions car, it is not perfect, but it is good enough for scale) I like that it is in minifigure scale.
Wow! Waiting for F&F👍🏼
I cant wait to get my hands on this bad boy
The manual is a massive downgrade in my opinion. Looks like it's still in the prototyping phase.
I will definetly buy this
I'm sure the 007 and TFATF sets will be big sellers. I hope that prompts Lego to licence more IP-related Speed Champion sets, including the Knight Rider one you referred to.
Let’s get that knight rider. Lego I am sure you’ve had it sitting in one of your designer drawers for years alresdy
@@visavi I buy that for a dollar! (or 25) speaking of the 80´s how about Robocop and his police car?
Great review!!
Like it was said in the video I like the addition of movie cars to the speed champions line. I know there are a lot of movies with iconic cars but I would really love to see Smoky and the Bandit Trans Am or the GMC van from the A-Team.
Inverted cutout slopes? 👀 Lots of silver? 👀 I need this for the parts and the set itself!
Chris outdid himself with this one
Fantastic model! Great review!
im really curious on whether we would get 4 seater vehicles like sedans, vans, etc. i believe it might need a new base plate for sure but really interested in that route!
These 2 look great
Congratulations on getting the exclusive from Lego.
This is by far the most exciting channel on Lego automotive sets. Fairly so.
All the best with your channel! You are great!
NOW. @LEGO, please consider more «ultra detailed expert level sets” of the speed champion scale.
Most of your customers, even the richest of them don’t have mansions. Storing and exhibiting 10 creator expert cars is a real challenge.

Another one, and more elegant one would have been:
Metallic silver car with chrome highlights!
Would love to see that soo much!
It's just that parts in chrome have not been made for more than 15 years. Yes, and details in metallic and chrome are more expensive than usual.
It's just that parts in chrome have not been made for more than 15 years. Yes, and details in metallic and chrome are more expensive than usual.
i love it how they made curves a more things but one important thing is missing and when its not there its destroying the look of the car that things are mirrors above bumpers
It's about the same price as the other individual sets, $20. As for the confirmation date IT IS confirmed that it will be released on the 1st of this coming august.
I think this is by far the best speed champions set that came out recently. Just think about the 8 (!) spare 1x3 silver plates. I think this one will blow up in the MOC market soon enough
This DB5 and the Dodge charger looks beautiful but I hope Chris can make more suv in their speed champions lineup or make a new lineup like the latest defender 110, Aston Martin DBX, Ranger rover. Land cruiser 300.
I wish they’d do transparent stickers where there is only a small detail needed and the rest is ‘background’ colour - because the match is often not great. Are transparent stickers more expensive?
Not sure about the reason. It worked on the Countach, maybe transparent also works differently on non-white surfaces.
I honestly see speed champions as a celebration of car culture. that includes movie cars, i whole heartedly welcome movie cars. i def would love to see them add even anime cars like the ae86 from initial D to the speed champions line.
With the black bricks and plates that are already harder to see on camera, the constant shifting and moving of the object did not help unfortunately. You can show the object by holding it steady and turn 360 degree slowly instead of turning them back and forth swiftly to show the details. Just some advice.
Awesome 👏 and great 😊 too enjoyed it a lot keep up good on your TH-cam videos channel
This is freakin awesome
My favorites it's Lego Speed Champions 2022 8+ 76911 007 Aston Martin DB5 Set
In Australia, there are 2 X 4537551 - Minifigure, Utensil Hose Nozzle Elaborate 🔫, so you can drop the spanner
Great looking little car, but i cant understand why they cant make transparent stickers like on the dodge charger? Sure that would solve some of the color matching.
looks more accurate than the big one
agreed
I want the van from A-team !!!
Can't wait for a Speed Champions Mach 5
Fantastic set. I will love to see a Blade Runner's spinner on speed champion... :D it will be a great challenge for Chris
