Corgi SPECTRE question........

Unknown007

Firstly Happy New Year to all James Bond Fans, a small question reared it's head over Christmas and I wanted to raise it on here, Just wondered wether it was due to a licence or contract issue why Corgi released only the SPECTRE Aston Martin DB.10 and not the baddies Jaguar from SPECTRE?

I have wondered that myself, I do know that Corgi has had financial issues the last few years. In fact, they only made a limited number of the Aston Martin DB10. It is really odd to me that the Jaguar was not produced.

Without more info, I think it was a budgeting issue considering how new tooling is a big financial outlay and how Corgi is instead reissuing their older Bond diecasts perhaps using thr DB10 to prime the pump. The cost of licencing would depend on the details I suppose so I wonder if Corgi paid for the entire Bond library, groupings of movies, single movies or even per vehicle, which I would think is unlikely. Scalextric‘s Spectre set includes both the Aston and the Jag, which makes it seem that licencing is more straightforward.
