    Phoned them up today to find out where they were. There was a recorded message to say that the weather (????) had caused a problem with delivering them - strange - my newsagents got his as normal, 2-3 weeks ago.

    People collecting this collection of Bond Car might like to have a read of this small interview from MI6:

    Well spotted that man.
    I was hoping it would give us more of an insight into the full (supposedly extended) range with details of the rumoured limited editions but alas, not :(

    That Citreon looks the bizz..I think cars from this era look far classier than modern ones...except anything with jaguar on the front.
  • DokkDokk Posts: 382MI6 Agent
    I listed all cars to date...see LIST TO DATE at the menu.

    Why are no vehicles from MOONRAKER?????:007)
  • DokkDokk Posts: 382MI6 Agent
    Why is it when anyone sells issues 1 & 2 on Ebay & claim its complete..do they not include the cardboard holder (Issue 1) or the Holder & box file (issue 2)????...Just wondering, I get like that on a Bank Holiday Weekend.?:):007)

    They are scrapping the barrel with the Lambo from D.A.D. Especially when they do not have Goldfinger's Rolls in the collection.

    Unless you know any different??

    There's no cars from the Moonraker book, but they did list the Hispano-Suiza that is Drax's car in the film, when they're out shooting and Bond shoots the man out of the tree!
    IMO Moonraker is a great book story and a not very good film made-up story.

    I have a question are the Johnny Lighting bond collection still on sale in the UK? I bought one (BMW Z8) in the US and then couldn't find any more.
    Bond: You don't think I enjoyed what we did this evening, do you? What I did tonight was for King and country! You don't think it gave me any pleasure, do you?
    Fiona: But of course, I forgot your ego, Mr. Bond. James Bond, who only has to make love to a woman and she starts to hear heavenly choirs singing.

    Hi I have read this thread with great interest and I have collected all the issuses so far via subsciption. As far as I can tell I would say that this collection will extend way past 60 issuses as long as there is a market the manufactures would be mad to stop.There are so many cars not produced yet I.E
    1.The Slumberland Hearse in D.A.F
    2.The hearse in DR,NO
    3 The dune buggy in F.Y.E.O
    4 The Alfa in Octopussy
    If they then diverse into vehicles like the hovercfafts or Q boat the list could get to 80 + and after that the could do dioramas of the Nautilas in T.S.W.L.M
    OR The Stealth boat in T.N.D the list could reach 100+
    Lastly I would like to say the detail on these models is ammazing and I will collect them until the end (i might need to make more room though)
