Yes, fully illustrated instructions.
You can also download the instructions for this or any other set from Lego’s website for free.
really! well, I gotta go check this out. they show a little kid with this thing, but looks complex to me!
This one is pretty complex (includes all the Goldfinger gadgets including ejector seat) and I think is labelled with a 16+ or 18+. That said, a kid would probably be able to figure it out, maybe with some help.
A new smaller one just came out yesterday as well, much simpler (and comes with a James Bond mini figure).
They are cleverly designed. If you're interested in cars at all, the whole Speed Champions line by Lego is pretty interesting, IMO. I have a set they released awhile ago of two modern Aston Martins.

I don't think it's just my nostalgia, cars have gotten uglier. The DB9 had an understated elegance to it, the DB12 looks garish with its big gaping mouth.
I much more prefer the Vantage, which is more directly based on the DB10. Lean and mean, angular, a much better looking car in my opinion.
The DB12 is expected to be £200,000 plus. A new Vantage is £130,000 (both starting prices). For £70k less, I think its a way better buy. Not that I can buy one....
But then again, I'm not actually one of their customers, so perhaps they know what the people actually stumping the cash up want best! :)

Should it be next James Bonds car in Bond 26?
I think so, but it probably comes too early.
My thoughts are still out on the DB12. Haven't seen it in real life, and that cetainly changes the experience.
Saw my first DB11 on the autobahn and tbh, in battleship grey (however Bondian) it didn't really look good. Then again, I'm no fan of those boring colours.
The most elegant of all to my min is the 2012 virage, but I guess people could hardly see the difference between it and the db9.
NICE ride. 110 units, costing more than £1million each. Yikes.

Also Aston Martin will revive Vanquish 2nd time & unveiled in 2nd September so won't belong
thanks for the heads-up, will keep an eye out.
I know I bit late but late better never well here it is. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/aston-martin-vanquish-returns-824bhp-v12-flagship
I let you decided weather it will be next James Bond car. Daniel Craig was there in the release of this Aston Martin new Vanquish
It seems indeed a bit late. "Page not found". Maybe something is missing from your link? Adding ".html" didn't help either.
My favourite online reviewer made one stunning video. The Hagerty crew's production value is incredible. Also, Catchpole being a Bond-fan of course there's a few mentions.
