DB6 instead of DB5, for one.
I would have preferred the original license plate also.
Admittedly I could make a better poster including all the films Sean is in, Ink is expensive though lol
That is a good haul, there are very few second hand book shops where I am now.
There are 8 Charity shops on a high street very close to me, one of them in particular I have had several Bond finds. I walk past them most days so rarely miss any memorabilia that may show up.
I was mostly interested by the second CD, which contained titles from various spy-inspired fiction. The first CD, which covered the Bond movies from DN to CR '06, was just covers.
from issue 1 to 134, and subscriber gifts, all with their original magazines as well. Well chuffed. Now to find a place to do them justice...
Well done. I have most of them, I cherry picked what I wanted to have in my collection. Still miffed they never did the Kenworth truck from LTK, though!
Unfortunately there's no Sheriff Pepper patrol car, but I picked up the 1:64 scale Johnny Lightning version which is a different make/model vehicle but looks close enough in the same green and police markings. Some appear to have the white walls which looks closer again.
I did pick up the parahawk earlier in the year and after having it for a few days discovered one of the propeller blades was bent inward. Mini Moke wheels are too small, and the Louisiana police car has some weird overhang of the tyre rubber over the rims - looks a bit rough. Lada Niva looks great with the mud splatter along the side.
Same story with the LALD Police car. Easier to just repaint an existing mould than to severely change or modify one. In this case, it was really easy as they had already released the Bel Air as a civillian and police patrol car, so the New York airport taxi and Louisiana police car were just a case of respray and add some decals. Because Pepper's "Sherrif's Department" car was actually a pre-production civillian car with some police goodies (which explains the odd colour scheme, dome light and awful stickers with white backing) it would've been much more expensive to produce.
Again, thanks to IXO the overall quality went up considerably with the last 30 or so releases. Gone were horrors like DAD's bubble GT40 and butchered TLD Audi 200, and instead we got the less interesting but much better quality moulds, which also shows IXO's main market: Virtually all of their additions are service vehicles, either in that role or repainted to look civillian. Come to think of it, I'm quite suprised we didn't get a WW techtronics, Las Vegas or Bangkok police car somewhere down the line...
Thanks for coming to my TED-talk :D
Just received Charlie's Bel Air and Whisper's Corvorado. Bel Air was still in the plastic wrapper. Just waiting on Adam's Impala and that's LALD sorted! I'm getting them with the magazines too.
A few collecting highlights of this year:

TWINE promotional disc radio - looks like a CD jewel case but it's a radio

keyring camera with DAD sampler DVD
007 40th anniversary pin badge
cigarette pack from Madagascar (CR)
Vesper's camera 007 edition
SP glass and metal light-up USB flash drive promo
Bond's sling bag from NTTD lair infiltration scene
Many of these I'd been trying to get a hold of for years.
Show them off here in you would @QBranch
I'm sure we'd all like to see them if we could.
This is one I took photos of a while back - my replica of the Club shaving cream can in Bond's attaché case which is an overlooked prop and goes with the talcum powder explosive cartridge. The bottom rim of the can is missing in the screenshot, and as suspected by myself and suggested by another collector who has handled the real attaché case, the bottom of the can could unscrew to conceal Bond's silencer. Whether we've seen this silencer in one of the films, I don't know, but the can is definitely too short to fit the FRWL/TB long silencer for his PPK.

I need to get a better camera.....
A friend of mine builds model cars from the ground up, something I could never do as way to intricate and I am not talented enough to paint them. You have some nice models there.
I used to build model cars years ago which was quite fun but in the past few years i buy the best quality cars (exoto,cmc) to collect and also sell them on ebay.
seats that are soft almost leather like and has material on the floor and boot to simulate carpet instead of hard plastic that you get in the other brands.
The roof slides back smoothly as it is nicely connected to the car and the bonnet, grille and guns are activated by buttons/switches under the car.
Nice paint job too and the wheels feel like they are made from alloy and the tyres are smooth and soft rubber.
If you want a higher quality great size car this is the one to get.
Welcome to my lair.
A place to put my model kits.
Some items in this display courtesy of @QBranch.
This wall is something of a Dalton shrine. The tall posters on either side are for LTK, and a French one for TLD.
Can't forget Laz though.
Books and things.
There will certainly be additions in future. James Bond will return!
where's the gray Bentley from?
Splendid collection @Agent_99
Great display as always, @Agent_99. The Lazenby framed photo makes me wonder if you could capture your own reflection in it, similar to how 007 toasted the Queen in her portrait.
Awesome, and nice Sean Longmores!
I built that one from a kit, @brinkeguthrie and @Mathis1, like the 2CV and the Lotus! It's by Revell I think.
Worth a try! And thank you!
Yes, his work is gorgeous! I really appreciate all the indie Bond creations out there.
