belated but not forgotten:
Collectable 36: "SPECTRE" - Banner
so I just came back from Munich, where I picked this up FOR FREE from a clothing store.
It measures 2,50m x 4m and is made of vinyl. Originally, I wanted to hang this up, but I simply don't have the space for it...
"You see Mr.Bond, you can't kill my dreams...but my dreams can kill you.Time to face destiny" - "Time to face gravity"
thanks -{
on another note, I asked Omega what will happen to their Spectre banners once not needed anymore...they'll be thrown away..."Can I the have one, would be a pitty if they get thrown away?"...."sorry, we can't do that"...

Well, today's item doesn't hold a high value in terms of money but it is something very valuable to me.
This poster is one of the first Bond items I had when it all was starting.
Recap: When DAD hit the cinemas here in november 2002 I was 6 years old. The only thing I remember is that one day, me and my grandmother tried to get in to the cinema but they wouldn't let me so I got this poster instead. we rode our bikes back home with the poster in the back basket when all of the sudden, I saw it was gone!
luckily it was just a few meters behind us but (of course) a car drove over it (multiple times!). nevertheless, we brought it back home and cleaned it up. I was the happiest kid you could possibly imagine!
Now, I still have it and it has a special place right at the entry to my Bond-world.
the thing is, I don't remember much of my early days, but I do remember the time DAD hit the cinemas, me not allowed in and getting the poster. It somehow is a very cool feeling to know, I was so into Bond from a young age on
P.S.: X-Mas '02: I got DAD as a copy from the internet while it was still in cinemas (if you know what I mean)

Collectable 38: "Die Another Day" Pole Topper from 7UP
this comes from America, bought it last year.
I guess it's about 170cm high and it has an engine so that it rotates.
it features the Aston Martin Vanquish, the Iceland scenery and some scenes from the film on the top part. IMO one of the coolest items I own and very rare; since I don't have any space to put it up it is stored under the bed currently but is still in mint condition (this was never used in 2002 is my guess, probably somebody put it aside beforehand) B-)

^ bizarre collectable haven't seen anything like that before -{
Very cool, never knew it existed! I do own the pedal car; a few scratches on the bonnet but otherwise fine. A few have appeared on ebay recently - not selling quickly, strangely enough...
yes, two were on ebay at the beginning of this year.
I tried my luck with both, the first seller was only willing to drop the car of at his local UPS and from there, I should have taken care of the whole shipping process so I thought forget that bonehead; and the second seller was willing to sort all the shippment stuff out and said it would cost over 1000$ and that is complete and utter bulls*it,
so I'll keep on looking... 8-)

Sadly, don't be too alarmed by those rates - mine cost about $600,- (plus import charges X-( ) to ship to Europe. That was years ago, so shipping probably got more expensive...
the one features the Spectre-teaser poster and the second one some of the posters. they were published in 2015 just prior to the release of Spectre. I wonder if that was exclusively done in Germany since the company is a german one ?:)

I've had the same reply too...

Yes, that would be your best shot... Somehow other people do get their hands on Omega stuff, and it sells for crazy amounts.
most likely shop assistants...bet they tell HQ that the banners mysteriously disappeared :v

but I assure you, it's genuine and not self made

ca. 10x15 cm, came out in Germany in 1985

published in 1979 and came with some stickers, mine still has the gum
