  • Bought it today in The Works for £9.99. Nice.
  • The Works have the new Bond on Bond book for just £9.99 in shop.
  • Might be worth posting this here. The November GQ magazine is giving away a Vintage paperback of Goldfinger. It's the 'colour' cover, not the black and white photo one. And surprisingly now that I have that copy I don't hate the design quite as m…
  • I didn't see this higher up the thread so apologies if it's already been posted. Anyway, I just got GQ magazine in Tesco with a free paperback of Goldfinger. Apparently GQ has done a cover with each Bond actor. The shop only had Daniel Craig othe…

  • I'm in lockdown mode after seeing the main trailer that gave away lots of plot info. I'm avoiding any mention of Skyfall to reduce potential spoilerage. I'm staying clear of a lot of threads on his forum. I'm not buying the magazines with DC on the …
  • There are still a few copies in the Belfast HMV. Ground floor at the back door, still £3 each.
  • Is there a thread on here about the new motorised 'lights and sounds' cars? I'm looking for a list of all the different sizes and car makes done. I bought the 15cm QoS Aston Martin DBS today.
  • Didn't even realise it was on yet. I'll have a look in iplayer and see if I want to stick with it. I do like Melissa so I should make the effort. :)
  • Finally got around to reading this. It's a pretty good book. The best section is the early part dealing with the Bryce-McClory partnership to make a Bond movie, Fleming helping develop a script, Wittingham being hired, Bryce wanting rid of McClor…
  • I've just had an email reply from the JBCC and they confirm that the collection ends with issue 135.
  • I saw this book in waterstones today. I was surprised by the format. I had no idea that it was a big hardcover and was full of photos. I had imagined it was just "words". Might order this one.
  • As mentioned on the 'other' forum there is an ebay auction for a LALD police car. Search for: louisiana state police
  • Update on the Dodge ambulance. I wasn't happy that the front of the truck was facing the Fort Knox door (i.e. the front facing to the left) so I opened it up, loosened the screw and turned the vehicle 180 degrees so the front is now facing to the ri…
  • Flower truck and laser ambulance arrived today. Both impressive models. Gerard, I make the ambulance box to be at least 11cm high. One of my laser men is loose and sliding around the case. Annoying. Next up is a Morris minor.
  • Honestly, my first reaction was 'oh, fan art'. My second reaction was 'you mean they're real?' And my third reaction is a resounding 'Meh'.

  • Great bargain in The Works today. They had five more of the new John Gardner books, namely Scorpius, Licence to Kill, Win Lose or Die, The Man From Barbarossa and Death is Forever. They were included in a 'four for £5' offer. The girl in the shop…
  • There's a new partwork out now on military helicopters. The models are partly diecast and are at 1:72 scale. I mention it here because one of the models appears to be a Eurocopter Tigre as seen in GoldenEye. You can get a glimpse of it in the adv…

  • Yes, it is the flower truck.
  • Mine as well. The truck is missing a wiper. I might get in touch with them about a replacement. Oh, both vehicles have figures!
  • TheWizardOfIce wrote: Which HMV is that? It was the one in Belfast city center, so I expect that's not handy for you! The other smaller branches I've been in didn't have it. Might be worth asking a staff person just in case.
  • Having read the introduction to my second edition that I bought today I know what the difference is. The first edition included some notes of Fleming's (I think) that were included in the papers for the Thunderball trial in the 1960s. The author and…
  • Found a copy of this book today for £3 in HMV. I've been meaning to read it so I was very happy to see it at that price.
  • If anyone in the Belfast area is looking for models to fill gaps in their collection then check out the Cash Converters shop. They had lots today, still sealed in their bubbles, for £6 each.
  • Bought The Battle For Bond book today in HMV for just £3. Well pleased.
