Lego DB5’s round bend

AS a kid, I always found LEGO as frustrating as Etch A Sketch in that curves were practically impossible to achieve.

As an adult, I found LEGO equally frustrating – particularly when trodden on while barefoot.

And here’s a curve-free case in point. It’s LEGO’s new 1:8 scale (about a foot long) James Bond replica Aston Martin DB5.

I mean, is that supposed to look like the car out of GoldenEye? C’mon. For £129.99 it should look at least a little bit like a DB5, shouldn’t it? This looks like a really rubbish kit car, built in a dark shed by a myopic amateur.
