Glad to see the laser truck on the list.
I hope Locque's Mercedes is displayed on a cliff edge with a plastic Roger about to kick it over the edge. That would be epic. And I don't use the word epic much. :)
I'd really like to see the car Tim drives around in Key West in LTK, you know, the one he just leaves at the front of the airport when he's about to leave after the wedding.

Which gives six slots to the cars of Bond 23.
ETA: Well, here's a car I didn't have on my list:

Its interest seems fo me very limited. Thoughts?
Fingers crossed for Tim's "Florida Keys hire car" and the Kenworth tanker cab from LTK...
I'm still waiting for 106 and 107. Should be any day now....
G. E. Fabbri bring a whole new meaning to the term "Bond villains".
Quantum and Largo, I know where you're coming from. It's true that sometimes, I had wished that they didn't include some models and instead concentrate on more important (to me) cars. Did we really, for example, need the Ford Consul, anecdotic at best, while the more important, storywise, Locque's Mercedes was absent? So, I too am ambivalent about this new extension. On the one hand, there's the fact that I will (hopefully) get the cars I wish for. On the other hand, it means more money spent for that (and with dental bills coming soon, and glasses needing to be changed, I need all the money I can get), and the fact taht place is running thin in my one-piece flat.
Still, I will continue the collection till the end. And hope that there are no more lemons included (insert Finn McMissile joke here).

Not bad car choices, mind.
And it's as official as can be: Next model will be Largo's Thunderbird. Again, apart from a few differences, not much work involved with this one as well.
Ixo produces the models for several partworks, and they almost always later release the same models under their own brand name, sometimes with slightly better detailing, but at a much higher price. The Ixo models are the ones in non-standard boxes, always without figures, and screw onto the base using a plug with two prongs.
The other models, including all the early ones that had figures and good dioramas, were made by Universal Hobbies. These were attached to the base by a square lug on the model's underside that plugged into square slot. Universal Hobbies seems to sell very few of these models under their own brand name. Some of their models are more basic in quality than the Ixo ones and seem to be made down to a price, but the dioramas were often excellent.
