    The DAF Corvette arrived. Not too great, colour seems dark red, rather than orangey red as I recall it in the film. Same colour as the Cougar from OHMSS in fact. :(

    I liked the ZAZ model but would of liked the engine cover open Jack Wade swinging a sledge at it and bond (Pierce Brosnan )leaning against it that would of been a great model.

    The corvette was a disapointment Iwould of preffered Sir Godfey Tibbet with the Rolls royce
    (Cubby's own car) with a cheap own used when sunk
    Or a 1/43 scale range rover convertible with horse box and plane that would be a good model especialy if the colour was right unlike the corgi versions

    got 38 and 39 yesterday. lambo is a bit pointless but is a great model. I take it that we are gettin more than 40 because the advert for the next issue makes no reference to it being the last.
  • s96024s96024 Posts: 1,519MI6 Agent
    The 2 issues before the last two. Numbers 36/37. I only received the corvette accompanied by a note saying the other model would come seperately. Did anyone else receive this. Also has anyone heard anything directly about extra models, because I haven't received anything and would have thought they would atleast let you know if it was going to be extended.

    got an email the other day confirming that they are extending the collection to 60 issues

    What I'm going to do with them all is another matter...

    LALD
    Bond and Solitaire trapped


    Pretty sure Bond and Solitaire get trapped in a cab in New Orleans. Bond is alone in the NYC taxi (apart from the driver, obviously).

    just checked my credit card account online, i have been charged only £7.99 (1 issue), which will be for issue 40, but i also have a pending transaction for £15.98 (2 issues), so they must be treating the extra 20 issues as a sort of separate collection almost. weird, i'd have thought they'd just continue as they are, charging for 40 and 41 together, then 42 and 43 together and so on, and finally end with issue 60 on its own next year.

    ak007 how comes your tank and little nellie have there own cases. Are these made by yourself or is that how they came. Mine don't have a normal case.
  • ak007ak007 LondonPosts: 343MI6 Agent
    yes thats right, i did make my own case for the tank and little nellie, sorry to get you hopes up!
    For nellie i used the box from aston martin vanquish, (as i had two) and printed out a pic of the sky to replace the old backdrop. For the tank on the other hand, i had a plastic box from some sweats and printed out a backdrop of st petersburg. because of the tanks size the box has to be about a inch bigger than the real boxes.

    Future models-not keen on Jeeps, Range Rovers and Police cars, but do like the Citroen, Bentley and Lincoln.
    Ideally with related figures. The strangled villain in the FRWL Citroen hanging out of the doorway. Then with the TLD Land Rover, Tim Dalton hanging on to the canvas roof!
    Maybe even Felix Leiter eating his KFC burger in the '64 Ford Thunderbird !

    Just got the FRWL Citroen Traction Avant on my order with Forbidden Planet shop. No. 40.
    No. 41 will be CR Mr. White's Jaguar XJ8.
    So the series continues.
    The figure of Red Grant in the Citroen even has his black driving gloves on.
