Aston Martin Valkyrie Reviews
Brickset
“This is very much a case of style over substance, but if you're looking for an eye-catching model of a distinctive car to adorn your desk or shelf, you'll find much to like here. Other than the 'working' V12 engine and steering via the gear on the roof, the only other... More functionality is a hinged engine cowling, and opening gull wing doors and bonnet.”

The Rambling Brick
“This car has an incredibly difficult shape to capture in LEGO so I have to applaud the designer for capturing the essence, but I think I might struggle to recognize the car by just looking at the LEGO version. I give this set 3 out of 5 arbitrary praise units as ‘passable’... More and nice enough if you like a simple car, but I would recommend to get some Speed Champions instead, or a larger scale vehicle if you can stretch your budget; you will enjoy it more.”
