    ... said the man in the orthopaedic shoes :D

    Forgive me if I'm wrong but wasn't the Goldeneye Tank not sent out in a diorama? Just a plastic outer-sleve?

    just plastic case:

    Doesn't this mean that Diamonds Are Forever is the film with the most number of models from it, (Mustang, Triumph Stag and Moonbuggy)??

    No, Die Another Day has the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar XKR and the Ford Thunderbird.

    ...which means 3 for 3, right? Math is fuzzy for us in America ;) There are also 3 models For GF, Tilly's Mustang and two versions of the DB5, unless 2 versions of the same car doesn't count?

    Hi All, have been collecting these too, and been following this thread keenly, especially regarding the extra issues. After emailing the publisher to confirm if there will be extra issues, thought you would like to know the reply.

    Thank you for your recent e-mail regarding your subscription to the James Bond Car Collection.

    "It is always nice to receive good, positive feedback from our customers.

    I can confirm as you have heard we will be extending the Collection, however, it will be going to 60 issues and not 55."

    Afraid to say they didn't give details about the models, but am very happy to know will be getting 60 now.
  • bondaholic007bondaholic007 LondonPosts: 878MI6 Agent
    I will wait and see what cars they are, i am running out of from fast.
  • bondaholic007bondaholic007 LondonPosts: 878MI6 Agent

    Nice one, bondaholic.

    Now, what kind of fool am I? :D I was passing a charity shop the other week, and saw Issue 1 of the GF car for sale. Not wanting to get on eBay with paypal and wotnot, I bought it for £15.

    Only to find, that all these cars and mags are available as back issues on their website www.jamesbondcars.co.uk/

    And the GF one is about £2.99! 8-) No need to subscribe for the lot, just pick out the ones you like. There are another 20 to come, but most of them I couldn't recognise frankly. The Bentley from FRWL sounds the best, but that's unconfirmed. The Range Rover from TND?! Can't even remember it.

    Excellent news thanks for this. I shall take it up with the Australian distributors too and see if I can get some sense out of them. When I told them before the collection was to be expanded to 55 issues they had no idea what I was talking about.
  • s96024s96024 Posts: 1,519MI6 Agent
    Wow this collection is going to be big, I really need to sort out some space to display them all.

    The Australian distributors have still heard nothing about any expansion to the series at all. They're still saying 40 issues.

    I've thought of something to consider. If they do expand the collection to 60 issues, will one magazine holder be enough to hold all the magazines? I hope they provide another one because I sold my two extra copies of issue two they came with on eBay.

    Tell you what... If it's a moneyspinner they're after, I'd shell out for a reproduction model of the Swiss valley scene in GF, where you can place the yellow Rolls, grey Aston and Tilly's white car.

    Shame they're not doing the hearse from Doctor No, a more obvious vehicle than many I'd have thought.

    For those like me who don't have a subscription for this set, Issue No21 Tracy's Cougar from OHMSS is available at newsagents in Australia as of Wednesday 7th may.

    I purchased mine today and, as always, I am very impressed....the details, right down to the dents and dings, on this car are GREAT. :)

    I feel the same on both counts Napoleon Plural.

    I'd love to see that hearse from Doctor No done in particular being done by them...they could do the scene where it's going over the edge of the cliff, that would be great. {[]
