    When you say that you pitched it to GE Fabbri, did you call them up or something?

    yeah, but i dont know if the call service people actually pass these things on. i havent got a direct number to the manufacturing people unfortunately. is the gt 40 even on screen for more than 1 second?

    The stupid thing it i dont even think this is where it is parked in the film.

    the 911 should be to left and after that should be XKR

    I like it.
  • bondaholic007bondaholic007 LondonPosts: 878MI6 Agent
    I dont, There is alot of models in the collection that I dont like, which is a reason why I stopped it. Alot from DAD that are in the film for about 1 - 5 seconds.

    The wheels on the GT are way over sized.

    You said the reason you stopped it was because you ran out of room. :))

    no, thats a shocking model. it has no meaning to the bond franchise. its not he only car in the collection that dont either. Give us the mondeo please.

    That's the MP Lafer MG TC Replica that was originally listed as Number 52, but since then they've jumbled the order around-so who knows?
    I got 48-Lincoln Continental and then it's 49-Daimler Limousine from CR where they're chauffered to the Hotel Splendide.
    De Bleuchamp.
    "..and you're Miss Stephanie Broadchest. You're going to have to trust me on this one!"

    This the list that we know so far...

    50 = MP Lafer - Moonraker - Rio beach road.
    51 = Range Rover Sport - Casino Royale - As the owner throws the keys to Bond.
    52 = Ford GT40 - Die Another Day - As Bond blows up the briefcase with diamonds in.

    If this list it true (i haven't rung them up) then why is there no: Ford Mondeo (CR), Range Rover Sport (QoS), Daimler limo (TND), Bently (FRWL), Ford Falcon Ranchero (GF), Beach Buggy (FYEO), Lotus Esprit Turbo 'white one from the beginning' (FYEO), Chevrolet 2-Ton (FRWL), Land-Rover Range Rover Convertible (OP) and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante (TLD). Not to mention the countless Rolls.

    However there are some on this list that do interest me.

    on one of the hoax lists a few weeks ago had the DBS (OHMSS) as the last issue, this could have been great! With flowers all over it and holes in the window.

    well its possible! But to be honest i hope not.

    Hey, that would be great.
    I have been an extra when TND has been shot in Germany and they placed me in the rear of the black one.

    Unfortunately, you can't see me in the movie and the shown scene (on the pic) has been done in the UK with other actors. :(

    Good job, the film would have bombed if they left that in :(|)

    theres just too many cars that are missing, when i heard that there was seventy cars i thought 'finally, were gettin the Mondeo (cr)' but then looked at the list and discovered once again that no were not. Gutted.
  • ak007ak007 LondonPosts: 343MI6 Agent
    Has anyone actually rung them up on this yet?

    I think that GE FABBRI are a bit out of order. the least they could do is tell us officially.
    i mean if i didn't follow these forums, which i'm sure that some people don't, then issue 41 would have come as a bit of a surprise!
    They shouldn't make us call them up at our expense, all it would take is a small note in one of the boxes.

  • DokkDokk Posts: 382MI6 Agent
    I agree..not everyone has a standing order..(I get mine thru local shop!!)..but when I phoned, all I got was someone asking for account details..which I don't have..so I rely solely on this" wonderful" and imformative site:007)
  • s96024s96024 Posts: 1,519MI6 Agent
    It's 70 now. Last I read it was 60. I suppose as long as people keep their subscriptions going they will keep making others, until everyone has cancelled the subscription.

    For those that are interested the Minichamps QoS 1/43 models are out.

    These are basically the models that we will be getting in due course via the Mag. so it looks like our DBS will be factory fresh, no missing door or bashed-about body work :(

    Still no sign of the Ford Ka model.

    The QOS Aston DBS- projecting the dates forward, should get it about March next year according to the listing.
    I was hoping it will have a figure of Bond in it.
    Otherwise they just produce the CR one with a different number plate!
    Meanwhile there's a lot of ugly old cars and boxy range rover. Where's the FRWL Bentley?
