LEGO Gets a License To Build

[Hapori Tohu]

Some cryptic tweets were sent out today between The LEGO Group and the Aston Martin car company. So cryptic that the official 007 Twitter had to step in to help out. As seen in their tweet chain, a classified folder authorized by "M" for "007" and "Q" is posted, simply saying there is now a "License to build." All clues point to an upcoming James Bond LEGO set, complete with tricked out super-car, but we might have to go on a few more undercover missions before we have all the details. What could be in the set? I'm hoping we get some rocket missiles from the grill. Sound off with your ideas in the talkback topic!

What a interesting marketing strategy.

 

If this is true I can't wait to see the set or sets.

I've never seen a Bond movie and I've never cared for the Spy genre, but I have a fondness for LEGO's spy themes. I bought a ton of Agents sets when they came out since I just loved the way the vehicles had a realistic look but with lots of cool features, like the Turbo Chase Car (or whatever it was called). Since I don't buy LEGO at this point in my life, this won't affect me, but it would be really cool to see LEGO pack a ton of features into a small space.

 

Also, interesting to see how LEGO's attitude towards violence has changed. LEGO has made sets based on PG-13 movies for a while now with realistic-ish weapons but it's fascinating to see how they might tackle that with a Bond set. Not saying the change is bad, I love stuff like Robocop and Predator, but it's just curious to see this as another step in a long lasting development, and exactly what steps lay ahead.
