  As I said, 1977 would see a new model in the James Bond cars : the Lotus Esprit from TSWLM :

  The following Christmas, I bought both it and the DB5 for my little brother. But of course, even if I was 18 at the time, I played with them as well. But after all, didn't we all ?

  I love the way the catalogue artwork puts cars from different franchises together in a glorious mashup.

  The latter brings back memories of when I should've left things alone. I played with them and looking back I could've had some nice collectibles.
  
  Back in early 1980, the toy store at my mall put the Corgi Aston Martin, Lotus, Stromberg helicopter and Drax helicopter out all marked down, so I snatched them up and took them out. Same with the MR shuttle model. Later on that year, my mom found the Bond and Holly MR action figures and I opened those too and who knows what else.
  
  The one I really should've kept in the package was the Corgi OP jeep and horse trailer with the Acrostar jet, one of the hardest pieces to find now.

  Aww, I always feel these things are meant to be played with. (I wish I hadn't broken one of the wing mirrors off my FYEO 2CV though.)

  Almost forgot : in the "Corgi Junior" section (smaller cars than in the main range), if you scroll down, you might see an interesting model : a "Plane Car" that looks almost like Scaramanga's in TMWTGG (serial number 2009). And of course the Lotus Esprti got its "Junior" version (although without the missiles).

  Now it's 1978, and Corgi has added Stromberg's helicpter to the line :

  And in the "Corgi Junior" section, we see that :
  
  
  
  Funny thing, it was also in this catalogue that appeared the only Australian TV series to get die-cast models of its vehicle : Chopper Squad. Even if the colours were not accurate on the catalogue (they were closer to the series IRL), that still brings back memories of many sunday afternoons (yes, it aired in France) :

  1979 now, and two new models appear : the Moonraker shuttle, and Drax's helicopter (in fact, it's Stromberg's helicopter with a new paint job) :

  Now, we're on the 1980-1981 catalogue, and nothing really new, apart from a gift set with the DB5, the Lotus Esprit, and the Moonraker :

  It's quite funny, how both Corgi and Aston Martin kept their respective golden tickets alive from the 60's all the way through the 80's/early 90's.

  Nothing new in 1981-1982 :

  One little new car on the 1982 catalogue : The Citroën 2 CV from FYEO :

  Lots of lovely things in that catalogue, @Gerard - I think the motorcycling Pink Panther is my favourite.

  Sweet. I've seen some for sale on ebay a while ago, they were about 40 euros. I think.
  
  I've got the DB5 from CR and the DBS from QOS.
  
  And I do have a lot of other 1:43 scale models too. :\">

  1983 catalogue. And this year, we get the Range Rover, horse van, and Acrostar Jet from Octopussy :

  Speaking oc miniature cars, the postal sorting center where I work has organized an exhibition of pictures from the USA. So, I decided to loan them the american cars that are in my collection (remember, the James Bond Cars Collection ?), to put in a display case whuile the photo exhibition is going on. Some thirty cars in all, from the LaSalle hearse in DN to the Ford Crown Victoria from CR '06). Let's hope all goes well.

  I just put a bunch of my Corgi Bond cars on eBay if anyone wants to take a look. Happy to sell offline to a member as well to avoid eBay fees...

  Corgi must LOVE EON for putting that DB5 in all those films...
  
  Hope we get the Valhalla, but I totally expect just the DB5 and the V8.

  You can guarantee the DB5 now seeing as it has a different car number plate! X_X

  To end with the Corgi catalogues : not much in 1984, apart from the DB5 and the Octopussy gift set :
  
  http://www.car-collector.net/catalogue-corgi-1984-katalog-corgi-catalogo-corgi-catalog-corgi.html
  
  And in 1985, just the DB5, drowned among other cars, so that I almost missed it.
  
  http://www.car-collector.net/catalogue-corgi-1985-katalog-corgi-catalog-corgi-catalogo-corgi.html
  
  To finish, I'd like to point out that there were two models of the DB 5 done during this period. The first one had all the gadgets, including the tyre slashers and the revolving license plates, the second one had only the machine guns and the ejector seat. Wonder why.

  Not an official Bond tie-in but I couldn't resist this Maisto 1:18 BMW R1200C when I spotted it among the action figures in my local junk shop. (Some TLC needed.)

  My favorite Bond car is the Aston Martin V8 Volante/Vantage from The Living Daylights. I love that car. It’s possible I will pick up a diecast or two, this one a must-
