I think I have some rare JB Corgi Figures, Does anybody know if im right about this?
Im afraid to say my interest in JB over the years has been slightly pushed to the side for whatever reason but I was a massive fan a while ago and I bought some Limited Edition Corgi figures (I think from the Official James Bond fan club)
I am wanting to know if they are rare and if I were to sell them would I achieve much? I dont really have a need to keep hold of them so probably looking to sell them. They unfortunately have a few chips in them!
They are 2 limited edition ones....I think only 500 or 1000 made.
First one is a LIMITED EDITION SEAN CONNERY IN WHITE TUX roughly from about 10-12 years ago
Second one is a LIMITED EDITION ROGER MOORE IN TAN SUIT, again 10-12 years old
Thanks

Some photos would help gauge condition.
The corgi bond limited edition pieces were released with the sole intention of being sold through Hamleys toy store in London for an original rrp of £14.99. Whilst I know they sold some of these figures, I believe other dealers/ retailers were able to obtain some to sell too.
Each of the two figures were produced as strict limited editions of 1000 and are numbered individually on the figure bases
I have experience of having bought/ sold a couple of these figures and the price really does depend on condition and whether they are boxed. Also, the box has to be the right type. These limited edition figures came in the short non-pictoral box. They should have a little limited edition certificate too.
For reference, the figure code for the two limited editions should be as follows:
Connery in white tux: F04012
Moore in tan suit: F04042
These codes can be found on the sticker on the box detailing which figure the box belongs to.
If the figures are in fair condition with a box and certificate, I would advise around the £150 mark for connery, and £125 for moore
If they are in good-mint condition, you would be looking at around £200 for each
Please note, these are conservative estimates and should only be inferred as a guide. That being said, I have seen/ sold figures sell for double and sometimes more than that price - and they weren't mint!
If I were selling, I would advise selling in the run up to christmas, where people are more likely to want that special item for a loved one.
Hope this helps

Yes they appear to be the same ones with little certificate and numbered codes etc
Boxes in mint condition .
Think I paid £20 at the time.
