Just going back to the Corgi DB5 saga, as predicted by RW back on 23 January, another production run of these models has been announced, but with an altered theme (and probably packaging to go with it) - due to arrive in June: http://www.corgi.co.uk/news/update-james-bond-aston-martin-db5-2/
These will carry s.k.u. CC04204 instead of the current CC04203.

I really do think Corgi underestimate the collector interest in well made and well presented 1.43 scale Bond models. I'm sure if the figures supplied with earlier re-issues like the Toyota 2000 had been in scale with the cars and if the packaging had been more interesting like the new DB5 box, they would have sold many more of them.
Hi to all,
nice to see a lot of news from everyone.
I did find some time to continue some models, but not finished yet as what I want (I need to add some figures...)
Cheers.
New release :
Hi. Managed to pick up one of the Corgi Goldfinger 50th Anniversary DB5's today - and going through all of the ones on the shelves managed to find a Gold one, (so now I know how Charlie Bucket felt when he found Wonka's Golden Ticket ) ). Just wondered is it correct that even on the Gold coloured cars the bullet proof shield is silver in colour??

Just wondered is it correct that even on the Gold coloured cars the bullet proof shield is silver in colour??
That was a lucky find - it must have been a very charitable dealer to put a gold version out with the silver ones rather than auction it through Christies My gold example has got a silver (non painted) metal bullet proof shield and I've not heard of any variation on the shield colour so far.
123James - thanks for the info!
DD - The Citroen looks really good, it would have been a nice addition to the JBCC.
Hello to all,
Here is the new mag & model.
Not exactly the good one, but nice anyway, enough for me. As I didn't have the time to put figures... it is just park here before all these 'black men' arrived....??.... )
And the next model :
Thanks for the information for the comics books. I already get 3 of them..
yes, I meant 'men in black'... sorry for my bad english.
Anyway, I do have some spare figures, so I will try, at least to create a driver.
And I am reading the 'comics' and already see some interesting models.
Cheers.
Passed through the Toy section of our local department store and they had some Corgi Goldfinger 50th Anniversary DB5's on display, had a look through and found 2 gold versions. -{
Just goes to show there are still some about.
That was a nice find, A_A! And did you take both or were you just looking how many you could find? If you want to get rid of one for £19.99, I'd be interested.
Prices of the Corgis are already falling - the silver one can be bought off ebay for £19 to 25 buy-it-now. The gold one is still going for much more, around £65 to 90, but far from up to £150 they sold for just a few weeks ago.
I wonder if I will be able to obtain a gold one in the next months closer to MSRP. I bought the silver one for £19.00 with low postage from UK as I couldn't find one here, and my usual source for Corgi didn't know if they would get them.
Still no news about the GF DB5 from Hot Wheels Elite or a DB10 in 1:43. I don't want to post any Spectre spoilers here but I think it's no secret anymore that the Jaguar C-X75 concept car from 2010 will make an appearance alongside the DB10 (and not just standing next to it in the parking lot).
I have to say that I like the C-X75 more than the DB10. I am quite sure we will see an orange model from Spark in the future. There were already two 1:43 versions of the C-X75 Paris Salon car - one from Spark and another from Century Dragon. I don't know the latter company but the model seems a bit better than the Spark - although the Century Dragon also cost twice as much. Both are already sold out.
Thanks for sharing the photos, RW - the concept Jaguar looks amazing, both the real car and the model! B-)

I must say I do like the Jaguar too. It looks much nicer in the silver than the somewhat brassy gold. The shape reminds me a little of Holly Shiftwell from Pixar's Cars 2! Holly was based on a model of Jaguar. It's an impressive looking car.
Unfortunately, new shots from different angles only lower my opinion of the Doubtful Blocky 10, which was not that high to begin with. Here it has a massive nose, and no arse! Ick.
Having seen a few pics of the new motor racing car the AM Vulcan, it looks nicer. Prob just as well it's a performance racing car though.
Anybody fancy doing a Code3 Octopussy Pullman? (I can't remember now if I've suggested this before or if someone's already done it)
Here's the screenshot:
Yes, this is the one i iused to do my own code 3 (pic 6079).
I continue my excel list (but it take time) and here is a synthesis.
For those who are interested, I can share it of course.

Hi there --- this is shran007 after a long absence from a staff infection during a serious hip replacement last year (it nearly put me out of commission). I think I have actually built 10 or 11 'Code 3' models so I will locate them on a previous page on this thread and hopefully when the "Official List" gets compiled and published I will be able to contribute more 'art work' to our collective efforts.
Thanks.

Don't know if anyone is still looking but I managed to find the Corgi 50th Anniversary DB5s at Hawkin's Bazaar. Not sure about shops but they've definitely got them online for £20!
I'd looked round for ages for one so snapped one up straight away, well chuffed ) -{
Hy,
I try also to see all through this forum how many cars we did … so I made a list.
Sorry if I forgot someone and some cars, but it is a huge list. So now we are at :
78 new cars and 58 modified cars from the collection.
Most represented : books cars then Goldfinger (11), Casino Royal (9), QoS (7)…
Please do not hesitate to tell me what I missed. I will try to have the list update.
Very soon, the code 3 collection will become bigger than the ‘official’ original collection…
Denis.
Cheers.
Hi there - shran007 again. I did indeed make 11 Code 3's that have graced this thread thus far. I have identified the list below in case it helps in contributing to the "Official Code 3 List". I will also post this same quote as a 'Relpy' to the Post where shrann007 was credited with only 8 Code 3's.
The first 10 are on Page 257, Post #6416 on May 30th, 2013
The 11th is on Page 260, Post #6494 on June 30th, 2013

These Code 3 cars are truly amazing! I used to "customize" 1/64 scale Hot Wheels and Matchbox but have not attempted 1/43 scale (yet). Just wondering where the people figures come from - are these cast/made specifically for these dioramas or can they be purchased somewhere?

A bit of everything really. Speaking for myself, I've either customised existing figures included with the JBCC cars by cutting and repainting them or I've used 40mm or 'O gauge' figures available on eBay. The king Code3 diorama artist of us all, Dleyvraz, moulds and casts his own figures with unbelievably spectacular results:

Thank you! For some reason I did not even think about O scale train figures...really appreciate the info!
You're welcome. I used two of these O gauge figures for my crashed LD Vantage with reasonable results, they seemed to be a believable size next to the car. I think they are ex Preiser moulds, no doubt someone will correct me if they're not. Either way there seems be quite a lot to choose from on eBay with prices ranging from cheap to expensive!

They look to be the perfect size to me, though I guess technically they would be about 10% larger. But next to the vehicles they look awesome! Will definitely keep my eyes open for them on eBay. Thanks, again!
