I work in a law firm, so it needs to be a bit toned down and not too over the top (scantily-clad women, etc.). What are the best places to look for stuff like this?
Looking for Bond stuff for my office

Toned down. Hum, hum - not easy for a law firm. You might consider going with something not directly related. The bulldog from SKYFALL perhaps? I believe it's still a top seller of Royal Doulton. Bit on the nerdy side: the Q10 mug. Also there are a number of minimalist film posters to be had, some of them really clever. You could use a Penfold Heart golfball as paperweight, they are still in business, though with a different logo. Originals from the 1960s show up regularly on eBay. If you are prepared to spend a little more you could order Bond's LALD espresso machine, it looks rather decorative even if you are more of a tea guy.
Great thinking, Dustin. Minimalist is exactly what I'm going for. Something like the bulldog, a mug, or a golfball that alludes to the movie would be great. On the suggestions, however, I am not a Daniel Craig guy. I'd rather get something that hearkens back to Connery, Lazenby, or Moore's Bond with a preference for Connery. The golf ball would work. I am a bit leery of purchasing these sorts of things off eBay, but I guess I just need to get over that.
Also, framed prints like these may work:

(Thought I doubt the quality at such low prices)

Car models are always great for offices. There are all kinds of scales/sizes and qualities on the market (depending on how much money you want to spend), and Bond cars are plenty. A DB5 model is the natural choice, of course. But a set of three can also be great, but (depending on how much space you have) a nice idea is a set of three: the DB5, the Lotus Esprit, and maybe the BMW from TWINE, the YOLT Toyota or the 2CV from FYEO.
Myself, I currently have a Corgi DB5 on my desk and a GF poster on the wall. Used to have a rare Ken Adam exhibition poster in another office, and a 007 mug.

Here are a few more ideas that my friend and I came up with last night:

I have the Q-mug at the office. It's a good way to tell everybody that I have a secret hobby.

I saw one of these when I was in London, and couldn't resist buying one either.
