Aston Martin DBS Casino Royale Advice
antisocial
Posts: 3MI6 Agent
Hi,
Firstly appologies for this being my first post and already asking for advice, but going to give it a shot regardless! I have browsed through multiple threads but most seem to be rather aged now. I am looking for an Aston Martin DBS replica from the latest Casino Royale as a present to a big Bond fan, and just looking for some advice on my options.
From a little personal research I have come accross;
1:43 Minichamps 2006 Aston Martin DBS, Model No 436137620 - Seems to be out of stock everywhere but they are cropping up on eBay
1:64 Minichamps 2006 Aston Martin DBS, Model No 640137620 - Can find in stock roughly £15
1:18 ERTL / Joyride Aston Martin DBS - Can only find on ebay and prices seem to be in excess of £50, I believe these were approx £35 new when stock was available before the licence ran out.
An Aston Martin DBS that came with a Bond collectors Magazine - seen a few of these on eBay, not to sure what the quality is like, selling fairly cheap
1:36 Corgi Aston Martin DBS, Model No CC03801, £11 on Amazon
My budget is up to £100, looking for a collectible piece, and would just like some advice on the quality differences (and any other options if there are some), which one is it adviseable to try and get from people in the know!
Any advice is much appreciated.

Why not perhaps looks Casino Royale set made by Minichamps, which includes two Aston Martins seen in CR:
1965 AM DB5 & 2006 AM DBS (ltd set)
Here's one:

or like you pointed out - there's 1:43 DBS models on eBay from time to time, price approx. 30quid or so.
Just my opinion - Don't go for Corgi's

the 1:43's made by minichamps are great quality, i'd easily recommend them.
the 1:18 by ertl are nice, a cute feature is the p99 in the open glovebox, but these are rare now. normall price is around the £70 mark. you will not find them in the shops.
the 1:36 by corgi are crap, its that simple. gone are the days where corgi's were decent quality. end of.
you could however get the paints out and get artistic;
