While having a look around, I found a Spanish site simular to this one. Someone on there has done a great Nellie case on page 113.
That forum is in French not Spanish, as in the French site mentioned before in this thread {[]
Yeah, there are some really good diorama builders active over there - both new dioramas and enhanced dioramas.

France was the first country in which this GE Fabbri collection was launched (August 2006 vs. January 2007 for the UK). The French releases slowed down during their summer to one every three weeks so the UK has since overtaken them as being the market in which the models are now released first.
Just received Q boat and Peugeot both great additions to the collection.
Looking forward to more obscure vehicles appearing later . My only gripe with the collection is when the same model and film has been repeated with just a different diorama? I would also like to see some specials offered to loyal subscribers.
The scary thing is I started subscribing to this collection before my little boy was born, he just turned three!

No! The scary thing is he will probably be paying for some with his first pay packet...."scary thought for today!!"..-{ :007)
It's been interesting finding this thread. I'm a long time James Bond vehicle collector (I did buy the Corgi Aston Martin when it first came out) and an ex-Brit (born and raised in Sussex) now living in Florida.
My frustration with the James Bond Car Collection is that, of course, I can't subscribe! I'm reduced to shopping on eBay and hoping I find bargains or items that no one else bids on. I did manage to get a Dragon Tank for $20 but the Q-Boat cost me $40 - and neither comes with a box.
Do I have anything unusual? The Matchbox "View to a Kill" Rolls Royce and Citreon Taxi and a Johnny Lightning "Die Another Day" Snowmobile. That's about it.
So, anyone have any ideas how to subscribe when you live in the US?
Arronax - If Fabbri's back issues dept don't ship internationally, you could try asking a contact in the UK to order back issues for you and have them shipped over to you in the US in batches under the 'customs limit'. FYI I don't have a subscription but recently received no.82 'Q Boat' as a back issue, which is pretty much nearly up to date with the subscribers' deliveries.
Hello Arronax, welcome to the forum, it's an interesting and informative site. Sometimes we get into some heated debate on this stuff! lol We are all very passonate about the collection and this is one of the best spots to gather information.
I live in Toronto, so I feel your pain about not being able to subscribe. I deal with a guy from the UK here is his email. His sells at a decent price. You save if you buy more than one at a time. The items come in a cardboard box and arrive in great shape. Sometimes when you order via ebay the items arrive in bags and are often broken.

Please let him know Brett from Canada passed this to you, as we have become friends over the last couple of years. He can usually help you get passed issues.
You should also check out passed pages of this forum if you are interested in custom displays. I recently started reading right at the begining. It's fun to see what people where thinking at the birthof the collection.
I have a very extensive Corgi, Minichamp and Fabbri etc collection so feel free to ask questions
Things seem to be a quiet from Kingsmodel. I want to see what the Parahawk will look like.
You and me both! I think that production of the models in china takes a bit of a brake of the Chinese New Year so we might well be seeing new ones soon.
Issue #84, the Dragon Tank from Dr No, is due to be available from retailers in the UK from tomorrow, Wednesday 24 March ... would anyone who buys one please post a photo of the diorama - this is the first one in ages that we haven't had a full preview of & my curiosity is at a high!
Hi Guys,
I picked up my Dragon Tank this morning and I must say it looks great!!!
The background scene is on the marshes where Quarrel is burned alive.
I'm now looking forward to seeing the Parahawk and maybe the Range Rover and Horse Box with Acrostar Mini Jet. Please keep them coming.
The Dragon Tank looks great! Wow that was a nice bit of suspense on that one!
Am I the only one who hates this???..that & that awful Ford GT 40..it always looked too out of place for me..it looks like something you would have seen in The Monkees show or Banana splits..Ugh!!! -{ :007)

I don't hate the Dragon Tank, but I would have preferred a proper CAR model ... still holding out for the Lada Niva from TWINE

It's not the fact that it's not a car!!!, It just looks like a "Blue Peter " reject. -{ :007)
Sorry Dokk that´s your opinion!! I think there is nothing wrong with the ford gt 40. And about the dragon tank i didn´t like that at first without a diorama now that it has one i think it looks good. It´s a question of getting used to i guess. You don´t have to agree but that´how i see it.
I Love this car & colour...when I was young I spent Xmas in hospital & got a large scale one of these as a pressie, but was told to leave it for the other kids when I got better....cried my eyes out!!!!...(not a pretty sight for an 18 year old!!!) Lol

I am very impressed!!!
Thanks for the info FACT
Cheers
Wow indeed.
This is how they SHOULD have come in the first place. Mind you, we'd probably be paying twice as much.

Thanks!
Has anyone seen anything beyond 87 yet??
I'm not expecting to see the dragon tank and the Land Rover untill at least the 2nd April. I don't know about other subscribers?
