Send a DB5 through the post First Class!
Not sure If everyone saw this and I haven't seen a reference to it here (yet!!)
- not directly Bond yet a silver DB5 couldn't be a more iconic reference really and there's a Bond reference in the first sentence description of the stamp on the Royal Mail site!

Released on 13 August as part of two sets making up 10 vehicles in total - 6 sports thoroughbreds and 4 workhorses under an Auto Legends theme.
I've just signed up here and am still reading everything so I may be some time catching up with contributions to discussions myself!. As I'm finding my feet I may have missed where this should be posted but merchandise seemed appropriate. A nice way of sending a letter and still showing your enthusiasm for all things Bond!

Regarding what you said @oo7, it was Daniel Craig's double from the Olympics stunt who died in a base-jumping accident, it's got every right to be a front page news.
I think he means this article

Thanks, I had no idea. Thanks for clearing this. My apologies @oo7.
No probs, That one article really wound me up for being none news and a copy paste from sky.com
am I mistaken or did they not issue bond stamps last year though?
yep found a pic
sorry for going off topic
This may seem very pedantic which isn't the intention whatsoever, but those pictured weren't actual stamps but labels that were on a single commemorative sheet that would individually sit alongside the Union flag stamp. It's still available online for £15 according to Royal Mail:

This Aston one is an actual single that is sold as a first class stamp separately. The x6 Fleming novel covers in Jan 2008 were available separately too showing x4 different covers each.
The only Bond board game I have is Scene it:
If you haven't got this, be quick, there's one left on Amazon:
It's great to have interactive clips with questions off the dvd - my only problem is I can't find anyone prepared to play me now as I'm too into Bond and know most of the answers - there are a few that elude me but I'm working on it...
