Think i will get the 1st one at £1.99 just for the Aston Martin logos
http://www.youtube.com/user/007AMDB5James Bond’s DB5 is a build-up model that is supplied in 75 weekly instalments. It is available from newsagents or you can subscribe online.
Every issue comes with new components for your model and a magazine with instructions and behind-the-scenes features on the making of the OO7 movies.

75 weeks is a lot, and at roughly AU$15 a pop, too much for me (AU$1125 total). Love the detail though, with the gadgets, and lights. I get the feeling if I attempted to build this, I would break a part knowing my luck, and also I don't think I have anywhere to display it.
If i got it, my post lady would have a cow when the body was delivered - she complains about the number of "packages" i get aready (in fairness though, most of them are the fault of James Bond!!)
And mark, http://www.007db5.com/instructions.asp - the edjector seat hatch is shown on the top of the first "blueprint" {[]
thats £524.25 for a model you;
a) don't know what the final finish will be like
b) have no idea how well it will go together
c) can't even start to build before you've collected the whole 75 issues (its curtains if the publisher goes pop before the end)
d) has inaccuracies in it already
ok, so if you compare it with a firm like amalgam, its a damn sight cheaper, but from the publicity shots, the budget shows through. sorry to sound like a complete arse, but i personally can't stand these subscription things. once you start collecting, you're stuck in it. if the publishers decide to extend the run of issues, like GE Fabbri have with the JBCC, then you have no choice but to keep coughing up and spending more and more money on it. Its either you keep buying, or end up with a load of parts you can't put together.
now if the model kit was available without all the magazine crap, and you could buy it outright, or pay in instalments, then i'd be interested.
tied into a subscription deal however, i feel it just way to much of a gamble to take.

one that i can't stand being ignored is spamming up threads with irrelevent off topic stuff, its bloody annoying. whats made it worse is that you've simply copied and pasted the same crap into several threads.
we all welcome new people on here, but why not simply start your own thread instead of gatecrashing a load of others?

I am an Illustrator and I have recently Illustrated a set of James Bond posters and I have had nothing but praise about them. I want to share them with people who like Bond as much as I do. They are a set of uniquely drawn images which I feel really brings Bond to life.
And Jeff you are a b it of a dickhead really how dare you call my stuff crap, I bet with all of Gods talent you couldn't draw any thing like what I have produced, I simply post this on here because its a JAMES BOND fan site, and what have I illustrated i think it might be JAMES BOND, so put 2+2 together mate, and **** off dissing ma ****.
yo f@ck nuts, I just looked at ya **** on da flea bay, many bidders I see
God you lot really are sad, I really would like to see anyone create anything better. I posted it on here cos you ****$ might be interested, its hard to advertise something with very little time to do it in.
right, child, when did i ever say 'yo $hit' was crap? i haven't. as it stands, your art isn't my kind of bag, baby, but i wish you well in your attempts at flogging it.
also as it stands, my talent doesn't lie in painting pretty pictures, and if you're capable of producing nice artwork, then please, go right ahead and stun us to high hell and back with it, in your own thread.
another idea you might want to run through your skull would be using a little tact. you're here trying to sell your art, and acting like a child. even if i was interested in your art, you acting like a dick would put me off from the word go.
lastly, i don't 'diss yo $hit', bro, i'm old enough to use this language called english. i don't claim to be, or talk like, a gang star.
i think in your situation, its literally back to the drawing board. come back when your balls have dropped and your brain can think a little further than the end of your ****, kidda.
now can we please all get back to the topic please peoples?
(cheers for the backup asp & danjaq)

I rang my local newsagent this morning regarding ordering this new part-work of the model 1:8th scale Aston Martin DB5 and he has told me that at the moment it is on "test" for 5 or 6 issues up in Dundee, Scotland. If there is a wider interest then I would imagine it will be released all over the country - so I will just have to wait for more info...
I suppose it wouldn't hurt subscribing to it on the internet!
i understand your concerns if its styrene, and unless GE Fabbri package these mags up properly, we're gonna see alot of returns. the other concern for me is the fact that the majority of the parts simply snap together. from experience, the tolerances on the parts are quite large in 'snap kits', and panel lines and seams always seem to be a little on the large side.
