  They lost the licence many years ago, but Im sure they still sell them from time to time, think they where in CAMBS somewhere.

  I remember that. I think they even produced a chess set. If memory serves, the company went bust. That's about all I know. Oh, and the Bentley they produced with Bond in it is quite a tasty piece. As for PoormansJB, I've wondered myself about what happened to him. A nice fellow!

  Thanks guys but really looking for more detail. You mentioned they went bust. Are they still making the sets?

  Wow! I guess I was wrong. Go figure, they have a Casino Royale Bentley set in "Elephant's Breath Grey". It looks like the same set issued during TLD except with a grey body. Still, very cool that they are still available. Might have to plunk down.

  "He mentioned someone called Nick Bennet who would know about this company."
  
  Ah, Mr. Bennet, the king of Bond collecting dare I say. :007)

  I thought the king of Bond collecting was PoorMansJB. Biggest collection West of the Missisippi or some such as I recall.
