it seems there is some truth in the 100 issues rumor. it also appears however that it may no longer be a car collection. my brother was on holiday in the lake district last week and visited keswicks bond museum. the owner of the museum got talking to him and claimed that a magazine publisher had been in to measure up vehicles such as the motorbikes and the Q boat. this means one of two things, a) this collection is going to 100 or b) they are publishing a new magazine! either way, shud be good.

I've got a sad thing to post:
my mom bumped her ellbow into my JBCC-"stack", so there were about 10-15 model's falling down 1.50 metres. To prevent it from happening again, i would like to ask people to take pic's of their collection, or give me some tips how to show my cars... i'm living in holland, so i only have Nr's 1-39... Thanks!
absolutely phantastic diorama, no doubt. After all the recent disappointing bases, it's a real highlight.

A great looking diorama - that's the way to go, GE Fabbri!!
Compared to the Minichamps version (which I have), the model is, er, not quite in the same league ... but then it is about a quarter of the former's price!
eBay seller Kingsmodel is known for his good photography of the models in this collection that pass through his hands - check out his pics of the Octopussy Alfa Romeo GTV6 (to be issue # 73):
One thing, which I would love to see would be a combination diorama of 2 models on a bigger base. Example: Qos Aston Martin & Alfa 159 in the car chase.

a 2 car diorama sounds good but it´s al lot space u need for it. My hope is that if it´s going up to 100 that the following cars are in it. The LASALLE HEARSE from dr.no, CADILLAC HEARSE from daf, CHEVROLET VERANEIO AMBULANCE from moonraker, GMC VANDURA AMBULANCE from tld,OPEL SENATOR from tnd and the VOLVO S40T5 from q of s just to name a view.
Hi so far ive been fortunate enough to collect all the cars in this collection, BUT, does anyone know if they will be doing Goldfingers car? Not only is it a classic it actually is part of the story of the movie, and has a lot more screen time than the Mini Moke from Live and Let Die!
Sorry if you have already had this thread, but I also noticed it is possibly because its a Rolls Royce that its not getting done.?!
Apologies if Fabbri have been asked before, but I'd be interested to hear whether they follow any of the forums like this one dedicated to the Bond Car Collection? If so, are they likely to produce any of the vehicles that have been suggested by contributors?

-Just thinking about some other vehicles from the films- I'd love some of the motorcycles although 1:43rd scale would be rather small.
I'm not sure what scale they are (roughly 1:32 I think) but the motorcycles with riders from Hasbro Titanium Indiana Jones series would be a decent size in keping with the existing size of the display cases and dioramas.
I believe theGoldeneye T-55 tank free gift model was a different scale from the cars. Given that this was a different type of vehicle I personally would not be offended by UH doing something similar with other vehicles.
The difference is that the tank and Little Nelly were free gifts so they can get away with them not being the right scale or the fact that they are not cars. I don’t think that they can legitimise putting in the collection a 1/32 model of a bike when they advertised the collection as a 1/43 car collection.
Having said that the news of the Q-boat being measured up is interesting, maybe this will be one of the ‘special’ issues that we singed up to when we subscribed all those years ago. 8-)
They are still plenty of cars that they haven’t made that I personally would like to see before they have to do bikes. The only bikes that I can think of anyway are the BMW form TND and the bike DC uses in the boat chase in QoS.
As for this rumoured 007 ‘vehicle’ collection, I highly doubt that this is true as it would only appeal to a very small number of people (admittedly me being one of them).
Why have Rolls Royce been excluded from the collection?
How many issues are they planed and what are they?
anything else?
Oh, can you ask if Never Say Never Again and 1967's Casino Royale are off limits? If so, why? Connery and his Bentley at Shrublands, Niven in his Bentley and Blush's Renault might be cool.

It might be to late, the questions were supposed to be in by friday. I'll give it a go.

-Don't get me wrong- I agree with you there.
Since it seems that certain important cars are off limits to this collection (such as the Rollers) and some of the other vehicles from the films (ie: motorcycles from Thunderball and Tomorrow Never Dies, Dragon Tank from Dr No or even the jet car sled from Die Another Day) play much more important roles in the films than some of the cars included in the collection, I wouldn't mind having them as part of the collection.
Overall I think it is a great collection with some unique inclusions. It is also excellent value, especially when you consider the higher prices and limited availability usually found in Australia.
Well found! looking good, I’m so glad that it is the OHMSS version of the beetle and not the QoS that we were expecting.
Keep up the new found diorama quality GE Fabbri!!

Damn you! Beat me to it!
They are asking for questions to be asked!
I have just signed up for an account over there. Now what to ask?
Why have Rolls Royce been excluded from the collection?
How many issues are they planed and what are they?
anything else?

Not a bad match at all. I hope that when we get some better pictures it will show that the skis are the right colours.
