One shop I regularly visited had a upright basket in the shop with free to take posters which was cool.
They also had the predominantly silver designs, I especially remember the YOLT cover. It had that strange rarely seen poster of Connery holding onto the edge of the volcano base with nothing but his toes, great poster design back then.
If anyone owns that particular VHS please put a picture up of it.
It was great watching all the old Bond movies for the first time. First one I watched was YOLT in 1997 with at the time another 16 to watch for the first time with one to come out that year in the cinema. Happy days.
I know the full poster well it's on my pc it's a very bright image and defies physics. Here is the box design, I can't find the actual VHS box.
I had the set of the grey boxes I think that was the first set I collected on VHS.
That particular charity shop has been very kind to me with regards to Bond finds :)
I used to deal in antiques a few decades ago I was much more likely to stumble across rare items back then, if I find anything these days Bond related it feels like a major find.
Working in a cinema house a dream job certainly back in the day
I can remember alot of stills from films wondering where that particular shot was in the film. In trailers today it seems a great deal we see never appears in the final cut.
Speaking of which, I remember, while stepping out of the theater where I had just seen the same movie, the lobby cards for it where still on display. Except that they were around the poster for YOLT, which was scheduled for the next wednesday "children's matinee". Funny, that. And I have another tale about TMWTGG, but 'ill leave it for another time.
In my Bond collection, the two most special things I own are the press dossiers for OP and TLD, which I got because I was doing a bit of local radio at the time (well, the first one I got for free, the other I had to buy). The first one is really a beauty, comes complete with slides. The other was just text.
The next summer he offered posters for Blade Runner, The Road Warrior and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and maybe a couple others and I didn't get any of them. I would've liked to have worked in a cinema back then too. I think there was some kind of directive from the National Association of Theater Owners of something that advertising materials were required to be destroyed. Maybe some of our veteran members can help clarify that.
I believe i first saw AVTAK vhs art in Sweden early 90s - i dont think id seen it yet , i was mesmerized by it.......great memory
...almost 30 years ago!!
I know! How time flies! I bet a lot of members weren't even born when these events were taking place!
007 magazine is a quality mag. Have all the early issues and the newsletter mags (they were one of the first to have photos from LTK)
Still going, I have just ordered their latest, a tribute to Craig's era!
Yeah, the LTK issues were packed with great photos. Still have them.
I might have to order that Craig issue!
Think you can just order them from their website. They usually send me an email to say next one that's available!

Here's one from YOLT, a complete and readable 1966 Hong Kong Standard newspaper made by my friend Rob. This thing is better than the real screen-seen prop, as it incorporates the Bond article rather than it just being glued on top like in the film.
"I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." Nice little end to Bond's obituary that I didn't know was on there before. Thanks!
Haha ;) If you really want one though, I could ask if he intends to make more.
Cheers Marcos! The phones, guns, cuffs, book and casino stuff are from ebay. Newspaper and torch bomb key ring from fellow collectors. The rest are my replicas.

OBITUARY
A senior officer of the Ministry of Defence, Commander James Bond, C.M.G., R.N.
is missing, believed killed, while on an official mission in Turkey.
Commander Bond saw active service abroad in numerous theatres of conflict.
Despite unconfirmed and unsubstantiated reports in the foreign press of his often
controversial means of mission handling, little is actually known about Bond's
personal life. An unofficial source at MI6 described Commander Bond as a classic
cold-war warrior; his brief entry in Who's Who is a testament to his discretion, in it
he named his career only as being in the "HM Diplomatic Service."
Described by the head of MI6 as "An exemplar of British fortitude", Commander
Bond's legacy remains a remarkable inspiration to those serving the country.
James Bond was born of a Scottish father, Andrew Bond of Glencoe, and Swiss
mother, Monique Delacroix, from the Canton de Vaud. His early education, from
which he inherited a first-class command of French and German, was entirely
abroad. A climbing accident, in the Aiguilles Rouges above Chamonix, left the
eleven year old Bond bereft of both parents. James Bond came under the
guardianship of his aunt, since deceased, Miss Charmian Bond, whom he then lived
with near Canterbury in Kent.
At the age of twelve, the young James Bond passed his entry exams into Eton,
transferring after only two terms to Fettes - his father's old school, where he
excelled at boxing and Judo.
Following active service in the Royal Navy, aboard the United Kingdom's last
operational aircraft carrier the Ark Royal and the HMS Invincible, Bond
distinguished himself with the SBS in Iraq and Afghanistan before entering the SIS.
A colleague of James Bond writes: I was happy and proud to serve Commander
Bond in a close capacity during the past three years at the Ministry of Defence.
If our fears for him are justified, may I suggest these simple words for his epitaph?
Many of the junior staff here feel they represent his philosophy:
"I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."
Commander Bond was unmarried at the time of his death.
James Bond born 2nd March 1968 died October 20th 2012.
