    going by Wikipedia...they say the Hispano Suiza is #59 -{ :007)

    the order of the list on wiki is just speculation based on the models that come on ebay.
    58 - Aston Martin DBS ~ QoS
    59 - Hispano Suiza ~ Moonraker
    60 - Ford Ka ~ QoS
    61 - Leyland Sherpa van ~ TSWLM
    62 - Mercedes S-Class ~ TND
    63 - Alfa Romeo 159 ~ QoS

    That's the confirmed sequence for Germany and it's very unlikely to be different for the UK.
    Check out:

    http://www.jamesbondautos.de/

    The models on ebay have so far confirmed this sequence to be accurate as nos. 59, 60, 61 & 62 have appeared on ebay in that order (still waiting for a first sighting of no. 63, the Alfa).

    After no.63, who knows ...

    by the sound of things it does have 3 holes in the back window, but no Bond, this is stupid. do you think that the alfa might not have any figers as well? Or do you think that it has do to with DC being on an exclusive contract with corgi or something.

    if you look carefully, theres a fire extinguisher between the rear helmet bins and a small silver plaque on the parcel shelf.

    sadly, these features should only be on the CR dbs, which was a preproduction model of the dbs.

    the dbs used in QOS is a production version, which has rear seats and no extinguisher.

    IMO, UH have simply used issue 20's dbs tooling, hence the errors and lack of bond figure and damage.

    must be a cost saving exercise.

    how disapointing!
    altho i have to say it does look good.
    its got DC in it i think.


    Sorry to let you down...no DC in it -{ :007)

    strengthens my opinion its the CR dbs in new paint.

    I agree with you minigeff, big big let down. The one model that everyone was waiting for along with the Sherpa! Even that has a bit more detail!

    On another note minigeff, if your making any of your own QoS DBS dioramas to sell, let me know please as I was impressed with yours.

    So far weve only had the Citroen. The Bentley has been withdrawn due to licence problems. Corgi made the truck only.
    From an earlier issue list, there is supposed to be a Ford Wagon from FRWL, parked outside the Gypsy camp! (Johny lightning made this Ford Wagon but in 1/64 scale) Hope that helps if im correct.

    Bit annoyed yesterday... I requested a replacement issue 42 (GF Thunderbird) as the case was damaged. Issue 44 (TMWTGG AMC Matador) arrived with two copies of issue 42 and no issue 45 (TLD Range Rover). I was really looking forward to receiving the Range Rover- not overly fussed about the AMC Matador. How hard is it to get things right?

    Apologies in advance if this has been discussed in depth earlier........but has the collection been extended beyond 60 issues in the UK?

    Ive seen posts mentioning 61 and beyond but I only received a letter informing me of the first extension from 48 to 60.....does this mean they may forget about me with the post 60 issues?

    Cheers.

    Just noticed that on the official back orders list that issue 58 is listed as; 'Issue: 58
    £7.99
    YOUR OFFICIAL 1:43 DIECAST MODEL Aston Martin DB5 from Quantum of Solace'
    https://vault2.secured-url.com/databasefactory/jamesBondCars/backIssues/index.asp

    You really would think that they should be able to get it right.

    Also on bondaholic.co.uk, he has posted this rather interesting picture DBSvALFA.jpg
    I think the alfa must be the minichamps one. This looks good but I really hope that the Alfa has people in it, the dbs I can live with as I all ready have a figure to go in it, but finding two more might be difficult. I might have to take the people out of my damaged Toyota crown

    Arrrrrr I really can’t wait for the dbs to come!

    Guys, I haven't been able to keep up with the updated release schedules. Can anyone confirm if the SPECTRE Mercedes from OHMSS is still on the list?

    looks great, apart from the fact that in its box all you can see is its back end X-( . but yet again no figures inside, it must be to do with the rights of CR and QoS.
    Just noticed as well that the windows are up. how am i going to put people in :s
