    Got this little beauty for my display cabinet. Found it in a local toy shop for £5

    Looks fairly similiar to one I've got - was it in Goldfinger packaging but with the GoldenEye number plate?

    No it was loose and unboxed. Just had a price tag tied to it. So not sure who the manufacturer is.

    Very strange, but a nice find.

    @Mazouni Nice. I checked my mail after your post but it was empty. :(

    I have:
    - a batch of original scripts,
    - some toys from the '60s (007 pen, Goldfinger figure, Dr. No dragon tank)
    - a number of movie programs (remember those?)
    - a number of very valuable original posters

    The thing about the posters are, they are huge. My DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER poster is a three sheet...meaning nearly seven feet tall! My ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE is an incredibly rare and very big 40" x 60" roll. Same with a horizontal FOR YOUR EYES ONLY poster. All too big to display. I bought them back in the '70s (FYEO bought in '80s) for peanuts. Paid just 40 dollars for the OHMSS poster. Today my Bond posters are worth literally thousands of dollars. But just too damn big to display!

    I have one sheets of SPY WHO LOVED ME and the extremely rare and valuable GOLDEN GUN teaser poster.

    Here's the one poster I did display. Worth about 400 bucks.

    Chula! Chula! Chula!

    I have a huge Casino Royale vinyl window cling from my days working at Rogers Video lol, also too huge to display. I don't think it's worth anything, but it's really cool.

    Too big.

    I was a kid when I bought a seven foot tall DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER poster. I guess I thought when I get older I'd be living in a mansion with gigantic wall space. No normal home can display a three sheet poster. Heck, movie theaters don't even display them. I saw the DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER three sheet poster laid out on the floor at a Bond Convention and I was thunderstruck. Just had to have it. That was in the '70s. Still have found no wall big enough to display it.

    The three sheet poster is insanely massive and the size of it is what makes it so damn impressive. I literally have a seven foot Sean Connery in my house. Oh, he's folded up and tucked away in a closet, but he's really that big.

    Speaking of large posters, I've just put this up having had it a couple of years - I bought it for around £20 on eBay, then found out it would cost over £100 to frame. (It's almost as tall as I am!) IKEA supplied the solution with these poster hangers.

    I've figured out how to fit yet another bookcase into my life, so I was able to space the Bond collection out a bit and tidy it up. Enjoy, before it becomes chaotic again:

    Poster hangers, now that's not a bad idea... Still need the wall space!

    I like how your shelves are barely able to support all that Bond goodness! I really like your Bentley Blower, and I had one of those Belvedere bottles, but accidentally opened it and drank it (oops), and ultimately tossed the bottle. I just bought NTTD Bollinger (only $90 CAD which was a nice surprise), and I'm waiting until the movie finally gets released to pop it.

    I should maybe take out a shelf so the bottom one is tall enough for the oversize books - now I look at the photo, that bowed top shelf looks a bit dangerous!

    I drank the Belvedere, and I'm in the process of drinking the 007 rum, but the Heineken is safe :)

    The Bentley and the 007 2CV I made from kits. I'm glad it was good enough to fool you, at least at a distance!

    Very nice book collection, @Agent_99.


    I bought this, to flesh out my Bond game and cassette collections - AVTAK for the Spectrum. I like the little soft plastic VHS-style case:

    It's my first pre-GE64 game!

    Looking at it, you have to load different parts of the game separately? I bet that was fiddly.

    I wish I still had the family Spectrum but you can't hang on to everything. Just got an aural flashback to the sound of a cassette loading :)

    You've just brought back memories of loading games on my Commodore 64. The high pitched screeching and bleeping only for it to crash after an hour of loading!! Ah, The good old days. You had to get the urge to play a game days in advance so you could get it ready in time 😂

    For £85 you could own one of the *cough* amazing *cough* new James Bond t-shirts from the official 007 Store. That’s right, £85 for ONE t-shirt.

    Let’s look at what breathtaking unique design £85 will get you ...

    For the Sean fans

    https://007store.com/collections/james-bond-new-arrivals/products/007-james-bond-dr-no-t-shirt-by-throwback

    Or for the Roger fans

    https://007store.com/collections/james-bond-new-arrivals/products/007-throwback-moonraker-t-shirt

    From body posture alone I can tell how depressed those models are to be photographed wearing that.

    Don’t worry if t-shirts aren’t your thing, £150 will get you a hoodie instead.

    Can we just all agree now that the 007 Store has gone COMPLETELY bonkers and these must be some of the most hideous Bond merchandise ever? 🤷🤔

    @MaxCasino They are hideous. And the quotes and pictures dont match.

    I think you tagged the wrong Max, but I’m sure he’ll too be glad to know how bad this merch is! They just can’t hit the mark.

    Awful. At least they make sure with the prize that nobody will buy them. Awwwwful.

    You have my vote. Who is buying this stuff? My personal favorite is the pocket square for nearly $100.

    Some of this 007 store stuff is simply awful. And over the top expensive.

    This, along with the preposterous Octopussy robe, is the worst offender.

    Got this one last year: Thompson 'Tommy Gun' used by Fort Knox soldiers in GF and the CIA in DAF, but more frequently used in YOLT, by Osato car assassin; Kobe dock henchman; and Tanaka's ninja at the crater.

    Cheers mate, I got it second-hand off ebay. Think it was only sold in Australia. It's less than 1:1 scale though.

    I like the design on your shirt. Once you've made your car model kit, be sure to post photos of it here too:
