I would like to know which cars you would like to see in the collection
I wanna see the black BMW E28 police cars chasing Bond at the end of Octopussy because I own an E28 ///M535i and models of E28s are very thin on the ground.

recieved issue 6 and 7 the other day, both great models. still waiting for issue 4 and 5 tho. just want to know what is everyone doing with the free models that have no cases, like little nellie and the GE tank? cos i don't wanna take em out of the packaging until i have somewhere to store it -{
Just to add an extra twist to this thread (possibly concerning the "undioramaed" Little Nellie and Goldeneye Tank models):
The original subscription form with Issue 1 also contained a little piece of small print that was below the bit you filled in if you wanted to pay by credit card:
"From time to time we may publish special issues of the James Bond Car Colection. These special issues will automatically be sent and charged to you. Tick here if you do want to receive the special issues automatically."
Now, some Ebay sellers have shown Little Nellie on a wooden display stand. So is that we might get with the special issues?
I have just today received advice that I'm getting sent a complete replacement first delivery (issues 2 + 3 + Little Nellie and I don't have to return anything) because I complained about the cracked diorama case I got for issue 2. So it looks like I'm gonna have some spare diorama cases or at the very least some extra models to sell on eBay :-)
I can't believe they would bring out another little nellie. But I thought the whole idea was those were free gifts. I don't mind paying for a few extras but if the collection increases to lots more then I may struggle to keep paying for ever!
On another note, issues 2,3,4 came today with little nellie so I am upto date. For some reason these came in a plastic bag not the box which I have been getting. Thankfully the models and magazine were fine. The folder for the magazines had sacrificed itself to save them. Hope we are back to the box for the next installment.

i think sum of the cars that we are scheduled to get in the future are just gap cars. i think they couldnt decide on any more cars to put in so just picked out sum crap ones which no one really wants! wot u guys reckon?
Has anyone received issues 8 and 9 yet? The Lotus Esprit Turbo from For Your Eyes Only and the BMW Z3 from GoldenEye? I was debited two weeks ago...nothing yet.
I think the wooden-display-stand-mounted Little Nellies up for grabs on eBay were personally modified by someone with creative carpenting skills...not necessarily an automatically-charged-special-issue.
Someone asked earlier about any results ive had with making my own dioramas for the tank and Little Nellie....my diabolical plan has faced its first roadblock: cant seem to think where i can find a diorama case large enough for the tank.
As for the rest of it, perhaps a google image searched scene, or a scene image captured from the film in question (there are media editing software which do that) printed on photo paper would suffice as a backdrop?
How about then going creative with a few of those scenery accessories from those model shops to mimic the scenes the tank and copter featured in?
Clearly a project for someone with more time on their hands........
I've been charged but only about a week ago. Not received them yet.

ive been charged for them aswell. back on 12th april and still no sign of them. i also back ordered issues 4 and 5 and i was debited for them on april 4th, but they havent arrived yet either.
The ones I ordered on back issue took a little while. I noticed the lotus is in the shops atm.

AS ANYONE RECIEVED ISSUES 8 & 9 YET!!!!!!
ive been expecting them for a week now.
Hi Guys I'm the new guy. I have been collecting these cars and issues since it started. I started complaining to them after I took delivery of the cars with slightly cracked cases. They do replace them so now I have 2 sets. I really didn't want to spend that kind of money on the set but I think they may be worth something in the future how much do you think the full set can be worth???
I picked up the Lotus last week and again, excellent value. I've got an autographed picture of Roger Moore sitting on the bonnet of the lotus from FYEO so they sit neatly together.
I wasn't aware that the shops would stop stocking after 8 or 9. I didn't subscribe because of the issues that so many people here have experienced (delays, breakages etc) so I'll be annoyed if I now have to subscribe (unless I can do it through WH Smiths).
Does anyone know definitively if this is the case?
To be honest. The waiting doesn't really matter as long as I get them in a reasonable amount of time. I think the breakages issue has been resolved with them changing the packaging.
I SPOKE TO A LOVELY GIRL AT BONDCARS.COM , WHO APOLOGISED OVER AND OVER AGAIN ABOUT THE DELAY AND SAID WE SHOULD ALL OF RECEIVED THEM BY THIS WEEKEND.

i hope so, otherwise ill be phoning them myself. its not just 8 and 9, i still havent recieved my back issues of 4 and 5. which i paid for on april 2nd. you cant tell me that it takes a month to deliver.
any way, i opened this thread to praise the collection so will u guys please give me your thoughts on the collection and let me know which cars you would most like to see in this collection. i hope we get the mondeo in a special issue or something, because it isnt currently scheduled.

Recieved my issues 8 and 9 this morning.
The Lotus is lovely - a fantastic model
The GoldenEye BMW looks rather pathetic, the figures are poor and for some reason my car has no licence plates!?

Hmmm another one to chew over...

I'm sure WHSmith would order them for you.
