Hi guys, I'm going to be writing a two or three part article for the main site about what gifts to buy for a James Bond fan this coming Christmas. And I need your help!

Just post what 007 gifts you'd like to receive and where they are available. Amazon, Ebay, Spyguise whatever. Just post a link here or what it is and I'll try and find it.

I really need help on this one

Cheers, Daniel

I was never into toy cars, and don't know the market for Bond cars (other than what I read about).
As it has only just recently being announced that Bond will be Vanquished (so to speak) I guess Corgi will be knocking up a mould very shortly.
As a cat is curious, I checked out the Corgi site as a result of your post. The range could be added to the chrissy list.
However, my brother-out-law (sorry Adrian ) who is a collector of such merchandice told me that, with this sort of thing, you either already have the whole collection or none at all.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. Seriously though, I want some more Corgi Icon die-cast figures, a couple of DVDs and the new poster book.

[Icephoenix]

Already got one.

[MDSmith]

I guess I will just have to settle for a new Aston Martin Vanquish.

[Icephoenix]

Would'nt Mind the "Agent 006" Die Cast Figure,

http://www.jamesbond...ptc=ACCESSORIES

And Secret History Of James Bond by Marcus Hearns.

http://www.amazon.co...1216489-6143856

(Also you can but it with For My Eyes Only : My Life With James Bond, for $34.92 US dollars though )

Well, the only one I would want this Christmas is Agent Under Fire for the PS2. The only problem with this is I would have to get a PS2 first. Could you guys sort that out for me and actually get it for me? Thanks guys, that would make my Christmas no end.
I'm only joking, but if I did have a PS2 I would get Agent Under Fire, no doubt.

[ShockTroop22]

I want to get the new Bond DVD set (in the steel case), and im also after "Agent Under Fire" for the PS2.
The ultimate (and pricey) Christmas gift would be "Omega Seamaster Professional" divers watch. (used in all the PB movies).
I think http://www.007-autographs.com are doing a Christmas special on ALL 5 Bond autographs. (as a set.)

[Only Bond]

I'm into Bond vehicles. I'm glad to see AutoArt doing the 007 cars in 1/18th scale. I pray the will do ALL of 007's vehicles!
I've got their FYEO & SWLM Lotus (both wheeled) and I just got their DB5 with Weapons on-line. They are coming out with SWLM Lotus in "Wet Nellie" mode very soon. These will compliment my other 1/18th scale Bond vehicles;
the (UT) GE BMW Z3 & 355 Ferrari and TND BMW R1200C motorcycle.
Was REALLY HOPING to get my 1/6th scale Q Boat done, but I've been too busy at work to get it finished. I'll be visiting the IFF this spring to look at the Q Boat they own to check my model for accuracy. Maybe I'll have it ready for NEXT CHRISTMAS?
Anyone hear of future 1/18 1/24 or larger scale 007 vehicles, I hope they'll pass the info along on this forum.
BTW, I saw in a posting on the SIDESHOW 007 FIGURES something about a 1/6th scale DB5, is this fact or fiction? If it was truely 1/6th scale it would be HUGE (and expensive if done accurately)! Any more info?

Wish I had the spare cash! I've been collecting for years and haven't the full set of any.
The Corgi ranges of recent years are excellent. In England you can still purchase the boxed series(with the metal figures of Bond, Blofeld etc) they released in the mid 90s at toy collectors fairs if the shops don't have them.
The recent series is great especially Little Nellie.
You've got to applaud Corgi for the effort of releasing these items - the 70s and 80s saw little or no Bond vehicle series production.
