Help from UK Friends

The Bond Experience

Fellow Bond enthusiasts,

I am one of those poor, poor yanks who is not fortunate enough to be privy to the wonderful collecting offerings of QOS that YOU have in the UK. Specifically, i am talking about the QoS coke bottles and the Smirnoff Limited Edition bottles. IF anyone could help me in aquiring these I would not only be grateful but would pay a finders fee in the form of a special prop replica package...a few wardrobe pieces, props etc, as a thank you. Please let me know...the HUNT is on!

maddyhind

The Bond Experience

Awsome, Maddyhind!!! Just looking for one of the coke bottles that looks like the opening apperature and the Smirnoff black limited edition bottle/shaker.

I would love it if someone could find me one to, have to be careful if there is actuall vodka in those bottles as the US does not allow youto receive booze in the mail.

I bought a nice bottle of chateau angelus (that bond drinks in CR) from France and customes sent it back, oh and then teh bottle got broken on its journey home - tragic!

maddyhind

will PM you

Since Mantis is looking for UK help, does that mean I should stop looking in the US?

I would be most greatful if someone could help me out also. Although i can only pay with money since i dont have anything special to give away. Simon did you have to pay for the wine after it was broken? I know that stuff is expensive.

I'm also interested in the Limited Edition Coke Zero bottle and the Smirnoff bottle/shaker, sans the alcohol so it can be imported. I'll pay costs plus shipping to the US.

I believe Harrods

We only have the "standard" ones here as for CR.

I have been checking various duty free shops recently, but could not locate the black ones.

It's him: The neighbours named him Fred.
And he's doing extremely well. He rose from 192 gr to 400 in 3 weeks. Eating and ****ting like a machine...

If you had a minimum knowledge on hedgehogs, you would know, that hedgehogs fleas are not passed to humans - and vice versa.... :v

Monza860

Im confused, is this going to be available in the US and if so where?

Low Blow

Hi all, i'm a long time lurker, first time poster! Been collecting James Bond on and off for 10 years now. Mainly from the Moore era.

I too would love to know how to get hold of the Smirnoff Black Shaker, i'm in the UK. I wonder how much they'll be to buy?

I was very disappointed with the film, so I'll keep the collecting to a minimum this time around. However this is too good to miss! Anyone with more details, please tell! Or a PM would be nice. If I can get hold of them I'd gladly swap them with people.

Cheers, Low Blow

Remain calm ...

Diageo is a client of my firm. I'm talking with them about what they might be able to get for us. Will be posting something shortly ... I hope.

I have a question for all, who have been lucky to find the Smirnoff Set:

My wife has been able to find one in Hong Kong for me. She told me, that it is only 1 item (not a seperate shaker) and it seems a bit to her, that there is an outer box (and not a shaker), which contents the Smirnoff black bottle inside.

She asked but there is no seperate shaker (not in black and not in silver) available.

So, can it be, that the 2 black "bottles" (bottle and shaker), that we see is the bottle itself and simply a black outer box?

Jimbo Bond 007

OK, I managed to get one of the cocktail shakers from eBay. Basically the black outside is the cocktail shaker (rather a long, tall one) and then there is a standard bottle of Smirnoff Black inside.

There was also a set available in Belgium that was just in a QOS packaging box with a standard bottle of Smirnoff Black and cocktail glass.

Hope this helps. I have pics here - http://www.toysofbond.co.uk/quantum_solace_memorabilia_collectables.html but they aren't much different from what you may have all seen before.

Higgins

Thanks JB007, so now, did anyone get the silver attache with the 4 bottles from Mantis's pic?
