    Picked up this book, in super condition on eBay the other day. Not bad for £2.49 Inc postage.

    I really enjoyed this book! I picked it up for cheap too about a year ago and it was one of the later bond related books that I found really well written and curiously structured. I recommend it as a read.

    What a brilliant cover, too! I must look out for that.

    I wandered round the local charity shops today and bought the DAD soundtrack. Still in the plastic wrapper. For 30p. I'm not sure I even want it but sometimes strange forces compel me.

    Can't argue for 30p.

    As for the book, easily found on eBay for less than £3 and free postage. Hell of a bargain.

    Decided to start collecting the novels. I had a 06 penguin copy of CR and a copy of LALD which I believe was printed in the 60's. Wanted to get them as a complete set - paid 80 for the Fleming collection and 45 for 12 Gardner books. Still looking to get Never Send Flowers, Cold Fall, and the LTK/GE novelizations.

    I never think to look, but I was just in a dollar store and I passed by some Hot Wheels cars, and one caught my eye. Sure enough, it's the DB10 from SP. Couldn't pass picking that up for $1. Grabbed TSWLM's Lotus from there a couple of years back, too, so I'll have to start keeping an eye out for more of them.

    My son used to collect Hot Wheels cars when he was a kid, he still has them.

    I loved playing with them as a kid - wasn't in the collector mindset to keep them preserved in a box. No clue what the value of these are in the long-run, but I figure they could be worth something a few decades down the line.

    I wish I had kept some of my own toy cars. I can especially remember an awesome Lamborghini Countach I had.

    Picked up the latest issue of a magazine called Infinity. A new publication, this is issue 4 and features a 3 page article on Moonraker.

    It also features a 5 page article on The Avengers and, following on from issue 3, another 5 pages that act as part 2 of Swinging 60's Spy-Fi.

    Thanks for sharing this. I went out and found a copy of issue 3 as we in the U.S. get these roughly a month behind. Along with Cinema Retro, Infinity will be a new addition Iook forward to adding to my collection.

    Fantastic, hope you enjoy. The one thing I really like about Infinity (apart from the spy stuff), is the articles feature mostly on older sci-fi shows/movies etc. Nice to have a mag that concentrates on that sort of thing.

    Added "Never Send Flowers" to my collection today. Only need the LTK novelization to complete my Gardner set but seeing as how the hardcover is a little rare, I'm not sure if/when I'll fork the money out.

    I have a pretty large Bond collection, so much that it has its own shelf in my room. I have all of the 007 nail polishes, the Bond 50 Blu-Ray set, all of the Fleming novels, both of the N64 games, Q's mug from Skyfall, and M's bulldog from Spectre, as well as a few authentic artifacts from the real world. My father went on a school trip to Moscow in 1977, and he brought back a Red Army officer's belt that he had received in a trade. The Red Army officer got a pack of American gum in return for his belt.

    I also have "Strangers on a Bridge", "Profiles in Courage", "Animal Farm", "1984", and "The Crucible" on or near my Bond shelf. All of those books have something to do with the Cold War. While I never lived through it, it's certainly a favorite topic of mine. So…much…drama!!! :)

    Also, I have a pair of Lindberg glasses similar to the ones that Elliot Carver wore in TND. I wear them almost every day. They feel amazing.

    I'd really love to wear a Ghost Salma dress like Dr. Swann's to senior prom. Best part? My M is totally thinking about buying one for me.

    And then there's the Bond jewelry. I have a number of Alex and Ani bracelets that remind me of Bond. I have an octopus, a conch shell, a snake, a calavera…and I have a replica of the Spectre ring.

    I'm a little obsessed.

    Good man. My propaganda is working well I'm glad to see.

    Check out eBay. I got an ex-library copy of LTK in good condition with a dust jacket a couple of months ago for a decent price. I like the early covers of Gardner's novels.

    There are only two holes in my hardcover collection and that's Fleming's 'Casino Royale' and Benson's 'Tomorrow Never Dies' and I'm not paying a 500 pounds for either! Strangely - I think it will be easier to get a Casino Royale hardcover than a TND one!

    Nice! Very impressive set of collectibles you've got there @=gb=. What's in the box to the right with the gunbarrell on it?

    TY!
    that is the Corgi "Daniel Craig" era box with yet another DB5, and the QOS DBS. I've got another bookcase full of items like the car collection, etc, but these are my favorites.

    I hope to get a 007 Funko if they come out before 12/25; can't decide- Craig or Connery.

    This is interesting. I bought all 5 Gardner-Benson film-novelization paperbacks when they came out.
    But, I didn't see any hardcover editions in the stores at the time, just the paperbacks. hmmm

    Nice game collection, @BMW_with_missiles. I still need to get/play Blood Stone and Legends. JB007 for the Gameboy was a favourite of mine too.

    @QBranch Thanks! Bloodstone is definitely worth seeking out. An excellent game. Legends is okay, but the Wii U version is unfortunately the only compete edition of the game that you can still get. The Skyfall levels were DLC on PS3, XB360, and PC, and are no longer available, but they are included on the Wii U disc (hence my owning two versions). It controls better on PS3 though. The Wii U game tablet isn't the greatest controller for an FPS, and the game forces you to use it, not allowing even a Wii U Pro controller.

    I've been curious for a while about JB007 on the Gameboy. I may have to give it a shot sometime.

    Yes - the Gardner and Benson hardcovers are all relatively easy to come by - with the exception of Tomorrow Never Dies. That was a limited print in hardback and incredibly expensive to buy. So unless I stumbled across it in second hand bookstore when some bookstore owner doesn't know what they have on their hands then I don't know if I'll ever get it.

    The Book Bond website is a good one to check out. Has pretty definitive coverage of all the editions.

    With Trigger Mortis they released the paperback here first and I then had to wait a few months until the hardcover appeared.

    I had no idea that you couldn't get the skyfall level anymore! Didn't even occur to me.
    Great collection - I have all the same games on either Ps1, 2 and 3 - the only I don't have is the original Goldeneye - I wanted to get all the original spectrum 48k games as well - but only if I can get them cheap. They had AVTAK, TLD, LTK, LALD, TSWLM and then there as 'The Duel' which was the only Dalton image released material between LTK and GE I think?
