WH Smith Bristol City Centre confirmed the Bond In Motion Partwork...
...is a test run limited release, which that branch is not carrying! I did pic it the Thunderbirds mag for the free Thunderbird 2.2 toy though, so not a total loss. :007)

brilliant are you buying the corgi releases?
No Thanks Diecast! I already have the Matchbox box set of the Thunderbirds and FAB 1 as well as their original Tracy Island in the loft. I am getting the figures and have the Supersize Thunderbird 2.2 from the new series range though.
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

Test run... just as I thought. Doubt it will take off!
I enjoyed Spectre, although I liked Skyfall just a tad more - but only just.
The theme tune is a bit weedy. I didn't want to pass judgement too soon until I'd heard it in the context of the film - but it was still weak even then.
Re. the Bond in Motion limited release. You know I'm not so sure that this won't go ahead. The JBCC started in 2007(?) so come Jan next year, that will be a gap of 8 years. Don't forget, after the first 6 months, most shops would have stopped stocking it as a regular issue so many people will have forgotten about it's existence - except the likes of us! So it wouldn't surprise me if it did go ahead - but I doubt that it would go to 130+ issues again.

I'm glad I'm not the only person on the planet who thought the Spectre theme was naff, I was beginning to think there might be something wrong with my hearing!
There's no reason why the Bond in Motion partwork shouldn't go ahead, Fabbri and Eaglemoss have commissioned models from all 50 movies between them and no doubt Eaglemoss have sufficient stocks to re-release 50 with new mags. It's only a question of producing 50 new magazines, which isn't that expensive or hard to do these days in terms of print and graphics.
The trial run might simply be a test to see if they feel consumer demand might be high enough to warrant commissioning extra stocks of existing models or whether their unsold stocks are sufficient.

I think you just doubled EON's total output there, MCF
Yes, I also wouldn't be surprised to see the partwork relaunched after this time. Eaglemoss (and their few remaining competitors) have shown that they will flog whatever mileage they can get from any of the castings available to them, so why not with these ones? I wonder whether there will be a mix of IXO and UH again, though - it appears to be UH only so far.
One also wonders just how much stock IS left over from the earlier runs? The JBCC partwork ran in several countries and was launched in Czech Republic right towards the end of its UK run (IIRC). So they were doing what they could back then to move the stock. Also consider that Eaglemoss's online shop has been out of stock of many of the back issues for a long time already.
Remember when the Ford Anglia was issued with the wrong film on the base? I remember thinking at the time how it had obviously been easier for them to order up a whole new batch of models & bases rather than just sending out replacement bases. Which makes me wonder if it's not just the plastic outer blister that is new for these Bond In Motion models, but also the whole model inside that blister. Those gold-coloured Subscribers Specials would have to be new productions, not some old models that got shipped back to China for a new paint job
And as for those magazines, what's to stop them just re-using the content from the JBCC magazines, it's not like there's been any new material discovered in the past 8 years for the background stories of Goldfinger and all those other early movies!

Now here's an idea! Has anyone secured the No 1 from the Bond In Motion test run, and compared the magazine content to No 20 from the JBCC? That would answer that question!

Oops!!! - it really isn't a good idea to post in a hurry without re-reading, is it? ;% I meant to put '50 years of movies' - in other words Eaglemoss obviously have all of the 50 years worth of Bond movies well covered with models, apart from Skyfall.

I wonder whether there will be a mix of IXO and UH again, though - it appears to be UH only so far.
Interesting point. I presume they could cover all of the Bond movies using UH models alone, couldn't they?

Maybe they might have been in some way obligated by consumer regulations to replace the entire Anglia model, including sealed blister packaging, rather than just the base?
Re the Bond in Motion releases it's possible they could supplement existing unsold stock with identical new models or just re-stock with identical models, it would avoid any major new licence issues if it's effectively just another 'production run' being commissioned.
And as for those magazines, what's to stop them just re-using the content from the JBCC magazines, it's not like there's been any new material discovered in the past 8 years for the background stories of Goldfinger and all those other early movies!
I would bet they will probably use the same illustrations, photos and text (where the existing licencing deal permits) and just re-arrange them a bit.
Ok ive taken the bull by the horns and signed up .
The collection promises a number of exclusives including DB10 and specials that will be offered at a higher price during the collection.
So will keep you posted. help what have I done but what the heck. Lets see what happens
on another note here is a project ive been working on over the summer not bond but hope you like.
This is code 3 TAMIYA 1/10 JEEP WRANGLER 'ROCK CRAWLER', it took me three months restoring a standard kit upgrading motor, suspension , steering, full working lights and electric winch. Graphics were made for me as were reg plates and in car ID badge. I had to source the interior from the US . The car is a nod to Jurassic Park with certain artistic license including paint scheme and Jeep spec. I think it looks ok. I know not James Bond but thought some of you may be interested . I have another project to replicate 1/10 CHEVY blazer from BOND .
For those of you wondering if the magazine content is the same as before - issue 1 is completely shown on the website.
I just don't have my copy of the JBCC DBS magazine at hand.
Hi guys! This is rather exciting, isn't it!
I just checked my JBCC magazine issue 20 and the DBS car review pages (4 &5) are exactly the same content & photo, just changed font and styling. The record-breaking DBS stunt roll pages are similar too - but all the other content is different ... Without trawling through every JBCC issue, though, I can't say the rest isn't a rehash compiled from other previous issue content.
Interestingly, they do mention boats and planes on the website, so it's not just a car collection, it's 'Bond In Motion'. Maybe trucks and buses will finally feature?
Very tempted to subscribe but expect the majority of models will be re-releases from JBCC. Though Skyfall and Spectre vehicles should feature now ... The FAQs page states that the "collection is only available in the UK at the moment".
Lastly, the website shown on the mag photos inside front cover isn't live yet, i.e. www.007die-cast.com.
Best wishes, Rhinoman B-)

Yep website is live , I took the plunge and subscribed had a confirmation and receipt (website is www.007car-collection.com)
The special DB5 and RR Phantom models are described as "gold-painted"! Looks more like banana yellow to me haha.
Cheers,
Rhinoman B-)
Welcome back Rhino man! {[]
I realise the special DB5 and Rolls Royce models are probably only pre-production mock-ups but they do look strange, a bit like they've been through a caramel car wash apart from the lights, tyres and licence plates.
I did actually suggest many moons ago that Fabbri/Eaglemoss could have created a Goldfinger RR with partial gold being shown, as per the gold smuggling concept in the movie, but covering the entire thing in gold paint including the roof is going a bit far methinks.
I think they'd both look better presented like the Corgi gold DB5, with chromed parts being left in chrome.
Hi to all,
Nice to see a new collection in UK and some activities !! For the moment, no 'new' models than previous collections. Just wait !!
Good to see new code 3 coming (good idea Arronax !)
Some work done for my code 3 & 4 (movie series).
Cheers.

As soon as my delivery arrives I will post pictures. Cant believe this thread is still going which is brilliant. I might just be inspired to rekindle my code 3's that never got finished. Good to see familiar names ! here's to more chat ahead with what could be potentially an exciting new collection albeit with some repeated models !

brilliant are you buying the corgi releases?
Now I am working on a range sport from spectre and at Sheriif's Pepper car...will post something I hope soon...
No Thanks Diecast! I already have the Matchbox box set of the Thunderbirds and FAB 1 as well as their original Tracy Island in the loft. I am getting the figures and have the Supersize Thunderbird 2.2 from the new series range though.

OK, the box is a little dented, the plastic colour is terrible but the parts seem to be all there. Yes, it will be built with wings.
And it was only $15.00!
