I have had a quick look through, some great images.
The production behind the films certainly during Cubbys era has always fascinated me, the production was one of the key factors that set the movies apart from anyone who attempted to immintate.
It also features an appendix with crucial biographical information about the actors and actresses that played Bond, the baddies and the Bond girls - which other films they starred in. That was information that was almost impossible to obtain back then without buying serious movie magazines. Quite unbelievable nowadays, when all this information is only a few clicks away.
Anyway, another quest from my youth completed.
Years ago there was a segment about one of the Dalton films or GE and they did a quick visit to the archives and showed a few of the props on shelves and I was fascinated and wanted more. The 007 Fan Club did conventions in the early '90s where they brought out the props and they've been part of traveling exhibitions. I just wonder what will happen to all of this with Amazon in charge.
Taschen did a similar book with Kubrick's collection showing his archives and I could see a similar book being done, just as long as they don't charge an out-of-reach price like with their recent Dr. No book.
I remember seeing these in Dixons and Curry's back in the day.
Does it still work?
I had TLD game on the ZX Spectrum +2, it took an age to load and the graphics were rather basic. But in '87, '88 it was a game I'd play for hours.
It still works. It had a full service back in 2022. I never had a Spectrum back in the day, though my brother had an Amstrad 464+, so the slow loading and 'take out tape and turn it over' aren't new to me. :))
This one even come with Bonds passport, and a good luck letter from Moneypenny, both items were probably lost by most owners.
Oh congrats!! Been on my wishlist for a while. I was a Speccy kid but we never went +2 (we got an Atari ST instead).
Wow!!! That is absolutely awesome!!!
I had a ZX and a Soectrum plus 2, happy days... Major nostalgia buzz.
When I got a ZX plus 3 it was revolutionary.
The rubber keys on the ZX were a nightmare 😂
My 007 Sean Connery 4K steelbook 6 film collection just arrived. I got a numbered certificate of authetification I am wondering if this will be a limited edition Boxset.
Had a quick look at DN which looks amazing, I got chills from the Bond/Trench scene in the casino the colours look so rich.
I have various versions of the films, I do like the Amazon digital HD download and Bond50 Boxset versions though many of the films look overly bright.
Had a quick play of DAF and it sounds great with Dolby Atmos.
The US version of this set apparently only has the 4K disk the UK has the 4K disk and the Bond50 bluray disk of the film included.
The Boxset itself is similar to the Christopher Reeve Superman Films 4K Boxset I have which I like a lot. The steel books get plenty of protection from the foam interior.
Very nice mate! Enjoy!
Cheers mate, I have several days off work from tomorrow so only one thing I'll be doing... watching these awesome films.
The artwork, some have complained I have no issues, Sir Sean is front and center.
Flicking between my Amazon digital copy and 4K copy of DN they have fixed the aspect ratio.
Wow DN looks so much more natural and cinematic on remastered 4K disk, I am impressed, it's the best DN has ever looked.
Truly a fantastic purchase, I'm glad you are enjoying them. Physical media I believe is so important. As you can escape anytime you want or need too. :-bd
That is awesome, well done for getting that.
Beautiful steelbook collection!
That’s great, I actually had this set at the time but can’t remember much about the Bond stuff, funnily enough. I remember you could do duck shooting at Blayden, but I can’t remember anything else; what were the other TLD-themed bits?
Good score @MajorDSmythe. Have you been playing? I have TLD for Atari - that's the green cassette.
I do kinda like how you have to choose the correct item before the mission, for example: the hard hat for the pipeline; cross bow for the fairground to shoot down explosive balloons! Some items not seen in the movie too.
A Goldfinger case is already in the works.
Do you mean paperwork? Mine has a copy of Bonds passport, and a good luck letter from Moneypenny. I don't believe there was anything else.
@cwl007 @QBranch. I have had a go at the duck shooting, and if I am honest, I am never going to be 00 material. Still, it's a nice bit of Bond gaming history to own.
Levels are:
Gibraltar
concert hall [C64] / theatre [ZX Spectrum]
pipeline [C64] / industrial complex [ZX Spectrum]
mansion (Blayden's)
fairground
Tangiers
Afghanistan [C64] / military complex [ZX Spectrum]
Whittaker's House (sic)
Of interest, you receive a missile-firing pen from Q, plus cigarettes!
Totally agree I will hang onto my physical media indefinitely, even more so now as some digital content I bought online has been removed.
Great covers no doubt there is only a small number of each steel book? Edited just noticed the amount issued is written on thew small cards.
The transfers look great, the box the 6 steel books are stored in is minimalist larger case...
The box is matt and the OO7 lettering is gloss, the box looks great sat on a shelf. The SEAN CONNERY lettering is not the same as the above image, its a glossy silver lettering which looks considerably better than above.
