Anyone got any ideas as to why we still haven’t seen a 1:43 scale DB10 or Jaguar C-X75?
I was wondering if Eaglemoss had been granted a 1:43 licence due to the Bond in Motion publication and that nobody else could produce the models until the licence expires/the new publication ceases to go ahead.
Well done on continuing with your series, DDenis.
I believe the Tucker automobile was officially known as the Tucker 48 (for 1948), but commonly called the Torpedo.
Still no sighting of Eaglemoss's 1/43 Aston Martin DB10 that's being produced as a subscriber gift for the James Bond Auto Collection in Italy. It was scheduled to go out to Italian subscribers with Issue 6 and, if my calculations (and translations) are correct, Issue 6 is due out on 15 June 2016.
As Rainier Wolfcastle mentioned above in post 7234, no model manufacturer appears to have taken an option on the Jaguar C-X75 as yet (a belated thanks for that info, RW, and the info on the Mercedes SUV & Range Rover Sport options for Spectre!).
Thanks to RW also for that useful list of James Bond models produced by Minichamps I saw on another thread - a wishlist to slowly work through as opportunity (& funds) permit
Hi new to the forum. I've just subscribed to the James Bond car collection on the website. It is saying there are 82 issues is that correct? . I was browsing on eBay and saw a collection with over 130. Could someone explain for me please. Thanks jay

Surprised no one jumped in on this one yet.
The current collection (Bond in Motion) is a reissue of most of the original collection (James Bond Car Collection). The current collection is supposed to have 82 vehicles (including the possibility of some new ones). The older collection of 134 cars is no longer being issued by you can still find some on eBay at higher prices. This is the way I got my JBCC vehicles since I live in the USA.
You can find a complete list of all the JBCC models on Wikipedia.
More established board members, please correct me if needed!

One of the Mattel 1/18 scale Aston Martin DB5 'Goldfinger' models (code CMC95) has been recently released, there is a review of it on this link (MAR Online): http://www.maronline.org.uk/news-from-the-continent-june-2016-mattel/
I believe that there is another, more expensive version still in the pipeline, to match the 1/18 scale DB10 from 'Spectre' that Mattel is apparently still working on.
Still no sighting of the Italian partwork 1/43 scale Aston Martin DB10 via the usual eastern eBayers, but the website doesn't show any change so I presume it's still on the way.

I had the 1/18th model -- actually there were to be two (one standard, one deluxe), similar to their handling of the Batmobile -- on pre-order for a good year via a US site but was advised just a few days ago that Mattel have canceled production.

Interesting development, thanks for the update.
The model that has been released is from Mattel's *Entertainment* series. Models from this range are said to have opening doors but no other features and, as per the linked review (from a contributor in Germany), this model adds only a removable roof panel to its opening doors. One UK shop is listing this model at £70, with the more expensive version (still listed there for pre-order at present) at £190.
The Spectre DB10 is also listed as costing £190 (on pre-order).
The more expensive 1:18 DB5 version (BLY20) is still shown on hotwheels-elite.com but the site seems deserted since last year. The CMC95 DB5 and the DB10 are still not yet listed.
Coming back to 1:43 - looks like Bond in Motion has now started in the USA with a different issue 1 than in Europe - the TB DB5 (price is $19.95 on the magazine):

The link provided was for an eBay ad. Eaglemoss is now offering subscriptions directly to US customers here - https://www.007car-collection.com/index.php. Nothing new as far as I can see.
Is it my imagination or did they remove the figures from most of the offered vehicles?

I found it interesting to see what is being offered in the USA, thanks.
It certainly looks like the figures have been dropped as some prominent ones are obviously missing from models such as the Toyota 2000GT, the 2CV and the half-Renault 11. I suppose having hand-painted figures adds a fair bit in labour to the cost of production.
a new code 3, in the "Fan based continuation of the james bond car collection", the number 197....
Some ideas have started...but not enough time as usual. )
Hope you like new models. No new on other code 3 or new 'official' collection. ?
a new "Fan based continuation of the james bond car collection", code 3 (number 198....)
This one was firstly made by SWJ, a long time ago... Thanks for the idea.
Hope you like new models.
No news on 'official' collection from USA. ?
Well done on the latest updates, DDenis {[]
I guess the next time you post we will be seeing what will be Issue 200, which just shows how far the original series could have gone! Hard to believe it will soon be 4 years since the last issue of the JBCC (#134) was released in the UK.
I stopped following the Batman Automobilia series (which replaced the JBCC in the UK) so I don't whether that is still running.
I did see recently, though, that another of the long-running Eaglemoss partworks had ended: the Opel Collection in Germany finished up on Issue 140. The last 50 or so issues had all been re-releases in new colours of previous issues, or models brought in from partworks which had only a General Motors connection to Opel.
I've seen no further news on the USA version of the partwork, nor I have I seen anything of the 1/43 Spectre DB10 from the James Bond partwork in Italy. Hopefully the DB10 will still appear as I would like to add it to the rest of my Fabbri/Eaglemoss originals.

And here, a new James Bond Code 3!!! (yes, copy of an 'old' code 3... but interesting in the collection)
Cheers.
Some news from the continuing Code4 James Bond car collection... next model as the 1st series :
And the starting (?) new serie :
To continue... 200 issue is coming.... Cheers.
I was wondering if Eaglemoss had been granted a 1:43 licence due to the Bond in Motion publication and that nobody else could produce the models until the licence expires/the new publication ceases to go ahead.
No too much activity here...but still some news in Code4 (and JB code 3 'on the way')
The new release :
And the next mag & model :
Cheers.
