    That's a real shame. Thanks for uploading the picture, I now know not to be disappointed when this issue arrives.

    Completely agree samuel! I had high hopes for this model and the GoldFinger ambulance? Was hoping for a figure manning the laser? But i am guessing that this won't be the case now if they cannot even manage flowers! :-q

    I just want to tip my hat to you guys on here for sticking with this collection through the years. I bought two... Yes, pathetic I know, the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger and the Lotus Espirit from TSWLM.. My favorite two as it happens, but I'd give anything now to have them all... Well done guys. Really well done.

    Cheers Oddjaws. Lets just say it is now a labour of love to get the complete set! No matter how poor some past models have been. It does look pretty impressive seeing them on display! :-bd

    It is down in part now having collected so many and being, so we believe, so close to the end, it would seem silly to stop now. I still think money well spend, mind and am very pleased I signed onto this whenever it was.

    We started this in 2007? Wow, that's an awful long time.

    Sadly, I can't post a picture of them all as I've packed a lot away. There's simply no room for me to display them all.

    My favourite is issue 64*, the Bentley 4¼ Litre from From Russia With Love.

    *Yes, I looked that up. There's no way I could have remembered the issue number!

    Nice one Largo! Having a spot of bother sorting a pic Oddjaws but it appears i have competition from Largo i see? ;)

    Received 126 today, missed opportunity to have added nice little touches. Hope there is a figure manning the laser out the top of the Ambulance? They managed it for the Dr No Dragon Tank! Here's hoping! [-O<

    Thank you - taking a toll on bank balance but once I had started I can not just stop now. We all know it will go on and on and on. The first thought I had on this was when they sent the motorcycle from SWLM and then I thought, Why had they not including other bikes. Bloody hope they do not continue though as I have little room left to display them. Good way to end to say thank you to all those people who stuck with it would be the Moonraker shuttle

    40 was enough. 140 is just too many. Please don't let it continue any further!

    :-)) I agree they need to come to an end, however we all know that there are models out there that they may decide to do? And March 2013 is still a long long way away! :-t

    But you forget about the classic scene when Bond sprays the traffic wardens in WINE or the BMW BIKE

    Tankers from LTK and CR, Heller's APC would be cool from LTK, Ford Mondeo from CR and obviously whatever Skyfall has to offer too? I am sure others could offer more suggestions too?

  • no, i havent alot of cash..........but at 7.99 for a real specific bond car....well i reckon its a bargain......i have wasted alot of money in the past with constant corgi re-hashes and i know that alot of these models are from previously used moulds, but hey, where else can you get film specific models made this good for this price......and a mag too......yes, i do have a bit of space, now that i have cleared out alot of old models.........i know the series has gone on for a while, but i think us bond fans are really lucky to have these cars...........now that eaglemoss are in the chair, the quality has seemed to have improved and i for one cant wait for the dodge ambulance..........maybe a lazer cannon!!!.....has anyone got the ambulance yet?
