It's a shame there's nowhere to locate a R+J cigar tube within the stand, I appreciate it may be difficult to supply them with the item, but as with the SD display it just adds that little bit of excitement if the owner wanted to add their own.
I'm assuming the Thunderball design will fit into a tube?!

I see where you're coming from, but if some didn't want or couldn't source a cigar tube, they'd have an empty space on their display...
If FE have copied the prototype exactly then the TB breather should fit in a R&J tube.

Yup, it fits like a glove... in a Romeo y Julieta ‘Churchill’ tube. Sadly we cannot provide a tube with the set for a number of reasons not least because it’s a trademarked property.
As Minigeff says we tried to come up with a way to provide an empty space but it just looked odd, as if something was missing. There is room under the acrylic if you are so inclined though... just no special place
Those who want them should be able to obtain empty tubes on the secondary market without too much trouble. The correct Cuban version and not the later ‘Dominican’ variation is a little harder to find if you want 100% accuracy to the film though.
Hi all...just looked at the prototype video and noticed that the thunderball blue mouthpiece does not seem to have an oblong breathing slot...will this be rectified for the production?also with the front of the regulator turn?

Yes - On the T-ball Breather the 'valve' at the front does turn and reveals holes underneath so it can be 'open' or 'closed'. But note its a faux valve and does not actually function, the front just rotates.
Yes - There is detail on the back of the blue metal mouthpiece of the T-ball one. The video David/Mantis shot is of the prototypes, we have made several small changes for final production and hope to have final production pieces soon to share images of.

Been a while since i pre-ordered from the FE site am i missing the pre-order option? Can only see the place order then it takes you to the buying part with your card details? Just bit cautious that the monies may come out straight away
Don't worry Craig, no monies taken until dispatch, they don't know how many the edition will be yet as the ONLY way is pre-order and the amount of pre-orders will form the run, so no pre-order, no breathers. They also need a non disclosed minimum number of pre orders to start the run so if you want them, order. -{
Thanks for the kind words dave, and apologies, I forgot to post this a while back.
While I've seen many people claim to be 'the best' and produce 'the only accurate' wotsits etc etc, I truly believe in letting others make their own mind up.
I just try to do my best and produce decent pieces. I am not the best in the world, I am not some great oracle of prop making, I'm just a guy who enjoys using some skills, knowledge and a whole load of good luck to recreate some great designs from my favourite film franchise.
When FE approached me to see if I'd assist them with Maggie and Lisa I could hardly say no, and it was a great honour to be given the chance to be involved. Hopefully all going well, Maggie and Lisa will someday soon be adorning the living room, study, lounge and downstairs craphouse of many a bond fan, and it'll be great to see it and think that I played a part in making that happen.
What's equally nice is when someone actually stops to spend some time to think about the guy on the shop floor as it were and recognise that for some (myself included) its not always about the coin (well love dont pay the bills) but its also about having a genuine interest and passion for doing a good job. I hope everyone who gets a Maggie and Lisa set enjoys owning it as much as I did making the prototypes.
So thanks dave for noticing the details and acknowledging my genuine love and interest for all things Bondian.
Cheers,

Ps, glad you liked the unscrewing cylinders, that was my idea
Just a reminder that today is the deadline to order the breathers. The project will either be a go or a no-go depending on the number of pre-orders received by today.
The good news is that we are proceeding with this project.
The edition size has been set at 312 pieces based on orders received prior to June 30th Deadline. If you placed a pre-order prior to June 30th then your order is secure, the items are in production now and we will update you once the good s are ready to ship. At this stage an estimate for availability would be around Sept/October, but goods only started production today so its a little hard to be exact with a precise date at this time.
The item is now sold out, if you did not place a pre-order then you can add your name to a wait list to be notified of any cancelled orders, but at this time all 312 units are spoken for.
Thank you to everybody who stepped up and committed to this project. We will probably continue to use this method for future releases.

How do I go about being added to the wait list if any cancellations come up please ????

Email your contact details to support@factoryent.com and we will add you to the list.
Just to clarify, for those who may not be clear, all 312 pieces are currently spoken for and any cancellations if any will be offered out to the wait list on a first come first served basis. We have had several phone calls and emails over the last few days where its clear the person contacting us did not fully understood this edition and process. We are only making 312 pieces of this, there are no other units and there will be no other edition on top of this. Just 312 pieces total. Apologies if we confused anybody and again our apologies if you missed out.
Barry, I think it was very self explanetory how this was going to work. I like the idea as it reduces the run size and inherently makes each piece more valuable, not that I would ever sell, but it does make justifying them to the other half a lot easier

Hmmmmm...sounds like a very familiar conversation!
Hi just wondering if there's any update in delivery dates?...also curious in the write up for the breathers 'With direct homage to Thunderball we see the original Thunderball breather prop in the early part of the film in drawer in 007's MI6 office. Bond,' ....could not find the scene...does any know if there is a different version of the scene?'

The scene in OHMSS is the one directly after Bond 'resigns' and just before he takes a slug from a hip flask with a nod to the painting of Her Majesty. I'll see if I can remember all of the items, not in front of a TV at the moment.

Hi ...thanks for that, am familiar with the OHMSS scene...in the Factory Entertainment write up for the breathers FE suggest that there is a scene in DAD where the TB breather is seen....it was that scene I was quering...Anyone have any news on shipping dates?
