Have to go with Eva Green (adorable !), DB5, but in the real world, the Airfix 007 Toyota 2000 kit. It has sentimental meaning for me, would love to pick one up for a fairly reasonable price.
PMJB is correct. It is special to us and property to others. The owner, Mr. Mosko, is one of the biggest realtors/developers in New Providence. The current destiny of Palmyra is to be razed after he passes per his wishes to clear space for development from his company (sigh). However, he favors the Salvation Army charity and if we can scrap enough money together, anything is possible...
It is a private home and you'll want to secure Mr. Mosko's permission prior to arranging travel to The Bahamas. You could take a chance and knock on the new gate when you arrive but... Two or three of us doing Bond locations tours have brought groups on site, but by permission.
Alan, you may be unaware that I've brought three separate tour groups into the house and grounds and etc. since 2006--the most recent one was in March of this year. I have Mr. Mosko's direct number and have spoken with him and with his family. I mentioned the details above and will continue to do so in the hopes that the fan base will pursue a purchase on the house to secure its future. You wrote that it might be coming on the market, perhaps it is, I haven't spoken with Mr. Mosko in quite a while. If you have new information, please share it.
I was not trying to reproach you or correct you in any way. My first sentence above is "PMJB is correct," which you were, absolutely correct. Please do not take offense when I share details that I have. I know you have been to Palmyra as well with another fan group and I'm sure you have many lovely photos and details to share with everyone.
I don't see a problem, either, though before you edited your comment #64 on this thread to its present form I assumed I had done something to offend you when I read the original text. Again, thank you for your ongoing patience with me and my sometimes poor communication style. It is appreciated!

Edited because, indeed, it read like you single me out for correcting.
Please PM me (as you should have with the above) if you need to comment further.
I was wondering when I started this topic how many Eva Green replies there would be. She would be my top Bond actress as well.
I get that it's supposed to be humorous, but I actually find the idea of a Bond Girl as "Your Most Wanted Bond ... Item" kinda, well, creepy. But then, since we're on a memorabilia board, I'm interpreting that as "potential possession/collectible;" we are talking about a human being here. I have no interest in owning a person (unless, you know, they were into that )
Sorry, over-analyzing to be sure, but all the same ...

I get what you're saying and I agree. It is creepy if you phrase it that way. My OP said no people just because it was the obvious joke and I was hoping to get a slightly more serious discussion. I think Tom's response has been my favorite of all the replies. A truly heartfelt answer and the reasons behind it.

For me it would be a Swaine Adeney Brigg Attaché Case as seen in From Russia With Love.
Ever since I first saw the film, I have loved this iconic prop and if I had the funds to purchase one I would get one tomorrow. Also I would not mind owning any of the rubber stunt guns used in filming or one of the blank firing Walther PPK's (Deactivated to comply with ownership of such a prop of course).

Most definately the golden gun replica, been after one for a while now.
I think the market for the FE editions is softening a bit; too many people who bought them to resell are doing just that and no one is buying.
Prices for the SDS remain strong.
Either way, now might be a good time to buy; the economy is just picking-up again and unless some third company gets a license, the two guns (plus permutations) we've seen so far are probably gonna be it.
Hi, I new to this forum and I gotta say the props I want the most are the frwl attache case and a golden gun that disassembles. If anyone here knows where to find those I will be forever grateful {[]
The all-in answer: a complete, SA wardrobe encompassing most of the films (Sir Rog's era can be skipped, though) and time to finally hit the gym and get my body in acceptable shape.
If I REALLY have to choose: the QoS PO. A second Omega to give the old 2541 a rest now and then would be nice.

Resurrecting this thread, a Rolex Submariner Non-Serif 5513 from 1969-1972 is my favourite watch of all time and I hope that I will get it one day. The 2000GT/Vanquish are also very high on my list.

But seriously, yes, Eva Green was lovely in CR.

Selling my SDS replica is, seriously, my only one true regret in the whole of my life.
PM sent. Thank you for your consideration.

Used to be Jack Purcell OTR's but I got those last year thanks to AJB have to give it some thought (I see there is a queue forming for Monica)
Cheers :007)
Well actually, I found the case. http://www.swaineadeneybrigg.com/store/swaine-adeney/attache-cases/sab-bond-35
Needless to say, it's quite expensive.
DB5 obviously
