LEGO Speed Champions welcomes James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 & Dominic Toretto’s Dodge Charger to the garage

June 15, 2022 By Jay Ong 15 Comments

The LEGO Speed Champions garage continues to expand, and now boasts the addition of two new cars from the James Bond and Fast & Furious franchise – the Aston Martin DB5, and 1970s Dodge Charger.

French retailer Joueclub has given us a peek at both cars, 76911 James Bond 007 Aston Martin DB5 and 76912 Fast and Furious 1970 Dodge Charger R/T which are due to arrive on 1 August 2022.

  • 76911 007 Aston Martin DB5 – US$19.99 / AU$32.99 / £19.99
  • 76912 Fast & Furious 1970 Dodge Charger R/T – US$19.99 / AU$32.99 / £19.99

Most excitingly, in addition to being 007 and Fast & Furious licensed, the sets also come minifigures of James Bond (Daniel Craig), and also family man Dominic Toretto, played by Vin Diesel.

I’m really excited by the prospect of both manufacturer and movie-licensed Speed Champion sets, as it opens up the possibility of so many more exciting movie cars.

Would love to see Herbie, Mini Coopers from the Italian Job, Ford GT40 from Ford v Ferrari and so many more in this format.

76911 James Bond 007 Aston Martin DB5

76911 James Bond 007 Aston Martin DB5 looks absolutely superb, and I think a must-have if you’re a Speed Champions fan. In a surprising twist, I think these are printed elements on the front, which are mind-blowing, but it’s a little hard to tell.

This looks much better than the Creator Expert version, and James Bond fans will be pleased.

The Daniel Craig Bond minifigure is understandable, given the proximity to No Time To Die, but I hope we get a Sean Connery version somewhere down the line.

76912 Fast and Furious 1970 Dodge Charger R/T

Dom’s Charger is okay I guess – the front looks a bit too blocky and doesn’t have the subtle downwards slope on the 1970s Dodge Charger, but it looks slightly better from the back.

It’s an okay model, but for fans of Fast & Furious and Vin Diesel, this is really a must-have. Personally, I would’ve really liked Paul Walker’s Skyline GTR, which I think would’ve been a more interesting pick.

      OH YES.

      Don’t really get into clone brand LEGO, but Cada actually have an Initial D license and I was VERY close to to picking one up.

      But yes, if LEGO would do a Trueno, that would be absolutely perfect

    Reminds me… I haven’t popped to yhe Aston Martin showroom in Newport Pagnell – only a few miles from my home in Milton Keynes (England).

    Last few times I went there was the opportunity to look through the giant glass wall at the back where cars were being restored.

    I’ll never be able to own the real thing but this is a nice compromise.

    Fascinating.

      I would die happy if we could just get a proper KITT. We already have a Hasselhoff figure and they could easily bring him back AND give him a proper mullet hairpiece.

    They nailed both of those! Wow. The DB5 almost looks better than the creator set! Two must have sets in my books!

      Yeah, LEGO elements have come a long way!

      I’m just okay on the charger, but love that it’s a Fast & Furious set, so I’ll also pick it up. Speed Champions has been so consistently good!

        I skipped the big Bond car because it lacked a Bond minifigure. So I’ll gladly get this one! (Though I’d have preferred a Connery…)

        And I think my kid has all those Chargers! But.. here’s one more we’ll get him for the Dom 🙂

Did you know that Fiona, the @lego Friends florist Did you know that Fiona, the @lego Friends florist is one of the first minidolls depicted with Down Syndrome?

Fiona works at the flower stall on Unity Street from 41732 Friends Downtown Flower and Design Stores 

She is described as being 'good at crafts and decorating, and knows all the flower species by name.' 

It's World Down Syndrome Day today and I think it's remarkable and very important for LEGO to enhance the perspectives of children on neurodiversity, physical disabilities, ethnicity and mental health, as they've done with the LEGO Friends reboot.

Here's my review of one of the most anticipate @LE Here's my review of one of the most anticipate @LEGO Disney sets - 43217 'Up' House ahead of its release on 1 April 2023!

This set is a dream come true for many Pixar fans, and we finally get a cute, compact and great looking Up House. 

It has plenty of references to the movie, and Carl's everlasting love of Ellie, his late-wife which will absolutely delight fans. 

Despite a strong lineup of minifigures (including an awesome Dug mould), the set's incredibly expensive pricetag (US$59.99/AU$89.99) doesn't feel like good value, especially with Kevin nowhere to be found.

Indy, Sallah, and Marion break into the Well of Souls to retrieve the Ark of the Covenant in LEGO form, and this playset is packed with dynamic play features!

Priced at only US$39.99, this set is incredible value and a great way to get started with LEGO Indiana Jones!

Here's a look at 40587 Easter Basket, an incredibl Here's a look at 40587 Easter Basket, an incredibly affordable and attainable GWP that's available from 16 March!

It will be a GWP when you spend US$70 / €70 / £65 from 16 March - 9 April.

Lots of things to like here, as the design is cute, and the build is surprisingly technical, and it blends both Botanical and Animal construction.

Also like that the redemption period stretches into April, so if you have the Indiana Jones, Disney 100, or Guardians of the Galaxy sets on your radar, it should be an easy one to qualify for!

Such a breath of fresh air to get such a substantial GWP without having to spend hundreds of dollars. More like this please, LEGO!
