    i'm thinking of cancelling my subscription now as it's cost alot of money so far, plus i don't have room to display them. the "wall" of cars is towering quite high, 11 high and 4 across.

    Got issues 42 ( ford thunderbird-g/finger ) and 43 ( chevrolet nova police car-l.a.l.d ) today. Issue 44 will be the amc matador coupe from the man with the golden gun, i hope its a model with the wings on and not just the car, which i think would be a cop out-fingers crossed
  • 84208420 Posts: 721MI6 Agent
    if i subscribe and ask can i subscribe from issue 1 do you think they would let me
  • SpectreIslandSpectreIsland spectreislandPosts: 274MI6 Agent
    Unfortunately,The Matador does not have the wings. :(
  • DOUBLE-00DOUBLE-00 ESSEX, ENGLANDPosts: 165MI6 Agent
    Thanks SpectreIsland, just seen a pic of it, i cant say how disappointed i am with the makers, after all the reason we collect the cars is because of their individuality, its a real shame.

    What do you expect from the model?

    a real working turbine? :D
    rc-controllable flaps? :D

    A fine made model of the AMC Matador on a beautiful diorama WITHOUT wings has enough individuality to my taste and I am myself are more than happy with the entire line.

    I can't imagine how huge this model would have been with wings and would understand, that a wing-car would not match in the GBP 7,99 budget.

    I think, that you are expecting far too much from this brilliant collection, Double-OO especially after all, that we have seen from other makers in the last 2 decades.

    i think this Land Rover looks great! can't wait!
    does any one else hope and pray, like i do, that they make a model of the Rolls from Goldfinger?

    Please keep in mind that EON copyrighted pics are not allowed here.

    As far as the Rolls Royce goes: I doubt it.

    RR is extremely picky in giving licenses for car models and as far as I understand it does not always have something to do with the accuracy of the models.

    Sorry for the pic!

    yes i had heard that Rolls Royce were very picky, but i wish they would permit a model for this set! the accuracy of the models in this collection are far better than my corgi collection.

  • 84208420 Posts: 721MI6 Agent
    yeah they should start a new collection
  • DokkDokk Posts: 382MI6 Agent
    No!!! not another collection..my missus would have a flakey!!!!..but one or two significant other types of transport from the movies would be a good ending to the collection...(maybe the last ones to round off this fantastic...but long!! collection.:s:))

    that's why i'm ending the subscription, nowhere else to put them, the only way is up!

    i emailled them the other day to cancel it and got a reply today, confirming they will end it. strangely the guy said my account is £7.99 in credit, so they will send 1 more issue, but not charge me for it, and then send me no more.

    i don't know how it got into credit though, i've monitored my credit card throughout and it's always been charged for 2 issues every month.

  • DokkDokk Posts: 382MI6 Agent

    Where do you want to report them?
    Was it their fault, that the mail company smashed the models?
    Additionally as far as I am hearing, these James Bond car collecion guys are very helpful with replacements. So, as bad the fact is that a delivery has been damaged, they'll try to solve it, I am sure.
