I think it looks pretty bad.

However, the grille reminds me of this emoji -- ? -- which I find quite amusing.

Leicester Sq gearing up for launch day on Wednesday. Could potentially double your money on the day given the international appeal.

...or lack of appeal.  Maybe if James Bond was there signing the boxes I would care.  LOL

Well Daniel Craig only lives about 4 miles away from the store. :-)

That would be awesome if he did show up.  I am a big fan.

No worries, he wont.

I think he spends most of his time in the US now. Before he got married would see him regularly in the neighbourhood. May be worth having a set on hand and grabbing him if I do see him. With regards to there launch, I will probably give this a miss. Recent Tron signing didn’t create any real added value

"NEW & EXCLUSIVE"? So we'll soon see it stacked up high at John Lewis, Asda, Hamleys, The Entertainer and Smyths!

Being truly exclusive is the only hope for this monstrosity.

I would love to be wrong about this set once it's officially revealed, but I feel that my 15th disappointment in a row is forthcoming. I'd be VERY worried if I was LEGO top-brass right now.

I think it only adds real value if there are photos of the person signing it and even then it can be a fraud.  

My 10 year old wants to join the hype so I will be there in the morning and make a decision to buy or not on the day.

I'll post a pic as soon as I can.

Called 3 lego stores about early access set tomorrow, and only one was able to tell me unofficially that it’s “probably” 007 car. Must be top secret.

Lego store in Leicester Square, London, jumped the gun...

OMG, they've gone and done it ;-(

I really wanted the leaked picture to be wrong. Then again, the Delorean was 10% as ugly as this and did well. I suppose something has to make the other abortions released this year look good

Not for me, more for the QFLLs. This is one disgusting set that I just CANNOT be stuck with!

These will either all remain on the shelf or have just sold out. If they have sold out, I fear for the future of the human race as a species.

£129.99.

No comments needed, the most expensive and the least appealing car in the lineup.

I'm just gonna sit at my Canada Water office and look from above at those dweebs queuing outside to get the 30GBP (max) worth of LBG Bricks.

Mr. Edward Snowden the official pictures are out already.
TMZ, The SUN leaked photos are not necessarily needed anymore here.

Great minds think alike! ?

I think there'll be a lot unsold on FeeBay.

1.5KG, which is similar to the VW T1 and less than the London Bus. Probably looking at 1400 pieces or so. Anyone with a shortage of grey cheese slopes and 1x1 tiles should be happy.

I was over-optimistic. 1295 pieces.

Crazy... There are almost as many queuing as at the original opening. The set might be pants but a crazy first day demand.. 50/50 split on Families with kids and AFOLs.

Mind you, the DB5 on display at the door is not the Bond one - Boring...
