thanks guys - The constant dilemma for a collector is buy now in sub perfect condition or wait for a minter. I bought my first poor box back in 2003 and could not find one other part until in 2005 Hakes auctions USA came up with a mint sealed one. I bid $1200 thinking it was in the bag. It sold for $1550 - ouch
over the last few years I have managed to pick up other incomplete ones and only with this last one did it have all the knock down targets.
Its one of Multiple toymakers biggest James Bond toys as the box is actually part of the toy itself.
Its rare, no question and I have now got three spare boxes, a couple of targets and other odds that may be of interest to other collectors. Be warned, I paid $300 to get some targets.
Congratulations. Chasing things for years, you sir are a true collector!

Well DONE Nick.... I had always looked at that particular set from Multiple Toys - in
a few of The Bond Memorabilia Books and started to wonder if it was maybe a Promo
set... that was never actually released fully.... But great to see some are now with you.
Neat and rare little set.. very cool... they look spot on.... are the little targets Spring
Loaded? when you shoot them ..... or just fall over type's
