Just took a look at the wikipedia list for the ALLEGED remaining cars? And i have just realised that there are no further Lazenby, Brosnan, or Craig models?
Well a fair few come to mind already!
I'm from the UK and have the mail order subscription. Two issues are delivered to my door every month.
The upcoming Lada Niva is also an existing casting, it has been used in a partwork on Soviet era cars that is available in Russia, Poland and some other Eastern European countries. It is a lot cheaper to use existing models than to have them tooled up specially...I suspect someone has spent a lot of time trying to match up cars that appear briefly in the Bond films with models from Ixo's back catalogue!

As we understand it? Corgi are releasing NOTHING new sadly. I would suspect that all they have done is put there old models in NEW packaging and thats it?
On the other hand, as I said before, given that the next car, the Lada Niva, plays a part in TWINE (even if it's a small one), I would say it deserves to be included.
Is it my imagination or was there a list to say that there would be some good vehicles chosen by fans?
How about the Milk float from LD or the sliced double decker from LALD with figures, to make up for the waste of money vehicles we are now recieving ?
With 9 months still to go before the film that makes 18 vehicles if they are still to come every month. How about waiting 3 months for the vehicles to cut back on money and space. But alas they company know it is a cash cow and will keep milking it for quite a while yet, as long as us fans keep dipping into our pockets to pay for them.
It is a bit like the pringle advert - once you start you cant stop !!
With 15 more to go it seems there'll be nothing Skyfall until the end of the year and issue 131 at least. Should that much for 150 issues in total then? They can't take this to 2014 if Bond 24 comes out then, can they?...
So far though, we have had cars from every film.
Here's a talley to see the ratio from every film:
1. 7
2. 2
3. 9
4. 5
5. 2 (Gift 1)
6. 6
7. 5
8. 6
9. 4
10. 5
11. 4
12. 5
13. 8
14. 5 (Gift 2)
15. 6
16. 2
17. 5 (Gift 3)
18. 3
19. 5
20. 7
21. 7
22. 9
As of the current issue 117.
Don't give them ideas... ;)
It genuinely concerns me though. They'll be some barrel scraping done if it happens.
We should do a group mail to De Agostini showing them the models that are just begging to be done!
This is why its so depressing!
I'd like to see the Saab and the Bentley Mulsanne that were used in the John Gardner novels, although I doubt that De Agostini will bother with anything that wasn't in the official films, which includes any of the vehicles in Never Say Never Again.
Here's the list I made some months ago:

As you can see, eight are schduled in the list we've been given. Of the rest, four interest me (I want that Cadillac from TB). And you, what's your dream list ?
I seriously doubt that Ixo or Universal Hobbies will tool up such large and complex models like the AEC Bus or the fire engine, as they will cost more than the cover price of the magazine.
