Franklin Mint Plates

Does anyone know where I can buy any of the Franklin Mint plates from the James Bond Collection. I know that there was:
Doctor No
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
Thunderball
You Only Live Twice
Diamonds Are Forever

I have been able to locate and purchase "Thunderball" and now I would really like to buy the rest of them.
If anyone knows where they're located or could lead me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Also, is the Franklin Mint James Bond Collection the only known collection of James Bond porcelain plates?

Thanks for any help you guys can give.

    Yeah, they are the only ones who made any legit (and of good quality) James Bond plates. There are some rather poor looking knock offs that people have made and try to sell on eBay, but they tend to look rather dreary. Since these plates went out of production some time ago, you may have a harder time at finding them. I ordered the Goldfinger plate when it first came out and since then have only been able to pick up the Thunderball plate, but they do pop up on eBay and usually don't sell for moare than $60 per plate.

    By the way, the Goldfinger plate has an error on it... The license plate on the Aston Martin is that of the car in GoldenEye and not in Goldfinger...

    As said, ebay is your best bet, although I haven't seen any come up for a while (UK that is). They are a nice set of plates, my favourites being Dr No and Thunderball. I managed to buy the complete set when they came out, if fact, I have two complete sets ;%

    Well... He hasn't been here for at least half a year... But I'm intrested. If you really want to get rid of them, contact me in a private message and tell me more details. I'm sure we can work something out.

    They don't come in protective bags. They are protective styrofoam.

    Prices vary. I've seen full sets go for between £50 and £200 !
    Check out e-bay, they have had quite a few on lately.

    Its a shame production/release of the plates didn't continue with Moore films used. I have got the Connery releases!!

    B1gman,

    I have the complete set as well. On this side of the pond, they only came in styrofoam.

    Well - you've started by letting us know.

    You could probably advertise these on any Bond fan website, and e-bay of course.

    I'd be interested to know what you finally get for these, I've seen these vary wildly in price on e-bay - for as little as £10 and as much as £60.
