    That's very clever.

    I love that Jag, the only thing is I'm not sure they've quite got the colour right in all the pics I've seen. Looks a bit too orangey, but it's probably a very tricky one to match.

    The thing I really want to know is how much of a fight the plastic packaging puts up when opening?

    I'm slowly considering getting these as they do look quite handsome, but I don't have the space to display them with the posters in the back, and don't like the look of closed plastic packagings. So as horrifying as it may sound to some, I'd want to keep them with just the silver cardboard box to keep them in, and throw everything else away. Just need to know if they can be opened without too much of a hassle and if there's a way to keep them "secure" inside the silver box, or is it just hollow inside?

    Also @imranbecks is yours a special/pre production edition, or did they just run out of paint when they came to the wing mirrors?

    The card box has a plastic moulding inside that keeps them securely held, yes. But the blister pack is not the easiest to open, and I haven't found a way of doing it without destroying the plastic yet! :)

    There's a way to open this kind of packaging without causing any damage and you can put the diecast back in the box afterwards and it'll look like it looks mint on display. Use a penknife to cut from behind to remove the vehicle. Greenlight uses this same packaging as well and that's how I open them up. YouTube has various videos showing how it's done.

    And no lol mine isn't a preproduction item. It's the final release just as everyone else will receive. I guess they didn't put too much thought into painting the side mirrors. Honestly didn't notice it till you mentioned it.

    I completely forgot to check, and the BMW Z8 and FYEO white Lotus Esprit have gone on pre-sale. Luckily both seem to still be available to order; I must have the Lotus, so I've ordered that!

    The white Lotus turbo is probably my Bond dream car, over any Aston, believe it or not. Most recent purchase would be the Corgi 1:36 DB10 with opening side doors and rubber tyres. No rear machine guns in sight, sadly.

    It's achingly cool isn't it. MiniGT have done as all other model car makers and given it the gold wheels the other copper-coloured Lotus has in the film, whereas I think the white Lotus doesn't have wheels quite as golden; they may even be gunmetal, it's hard to tell. But it's not a dealbreaker at all.

    Yeah, don't know how they missed that. At least the wheels are the right size.

    Great to finally have an official version. Might grab this on pay day, but have overspent on Bond goodies for now!

    Came across this at a local diecast expo and grabbed it! Had no idea these were even made!

    I picked up a die cast Aston Martin V12 Vantage, am I correct that this vehicle did not appears in any of the Bond films? (Only just realized it has a pull back coil that propels the car forward).

    Lol yeah that Brosnan silhouette is so out of place.

    Yes, it doesn’t look terribly official (I think they’ve typed out ‘No Time To Die’ in the same font rather than use the actual NTTD logo artwork), but that probably just makes it a rarer find! Nice work Imran :)

    Looks good. It might be in one of the comics if you're lucky.

    Correct. It isn't a Bond official product. But the diecast car itself is licensed by Toyota. There's also a tiny picture of the car in action from the movie at the back lol
