    I've seen it change dramatically too. I think Royal Mail have set up the top 10 so we get get a bit of each actor.

    I think we should get two sets of 11 stamps (DN - MR) (FYEO - QoS) this would make them appeal more to collectors.

    I can't remember how many Fleming ones we got a few years back? Did we get all the book covers?

    Perhaps the news flash on MI6 prompted us all to rush and vote for the Connery classics.

    No, we only got six. Casino Royale, Diamonds Are Forever, From Russia With Love, Dr. No, Goldfinger and For Your Eyes Only.

    I think it's EON who get the final say with what we're given. At least this time we got to choose the 10 we want. And that's four more than we got before.

    This is quite shocking really...I voted for almost every Connery film as most of them are the best looking stamps. Disappointing!

    That's not the case. Voting is still ongoing. A bit of a misleading headline really, I must say.

    I've voted more than once a day but whether it's counted or not I have no idea.

    I would support this idea & as long as I get YOLT in the set I'll be a chuffed fellow.

    Its my personal favourite with the volcano & since I'm an 80s kid I always seem to think of MASK Boulder Hill when I see the poster. Strange or not?

    YOLT please & thanks.

    Also if popular they could also release a set featuring villains & girls. Maybe asking too much now?

    ??????????? Wow? i find that astonishing! From my point of view i think each actor should have atleast 1 film represented! All of them contributed to the franchise whether people liked their films or not?

    Then they should have let the fans select the rest available! Having said that? i do not see why they could not have done the whole set anyway?

    Yeah, it is strange and I agree, each actor should have atleast one stamp from one of their films which the powers to be should pick. Lazenby would be away laughing! :)

    That really confuses me too. I would have thought but now the order would be near enough set where it is...

    You can vote as much as you want apperently, which could draw in the TROLLS. WHat I think most certainly does............

    CR is currently #1. How? It's a typical sterile photoshop mess. Craigs head doesn't look like it is attached to the body, which looks like it belongs to someone else. Eva looks like she isn't even in the same city, let alone the same street as Craig.

    It's a fix.

    That's ninja-shoes or socks he's wearing. Supposed to muffle the steps and give a better feel when climbing.

    Sorry guys, that poster isn't up for voting. I think it's a design for Asia exclusively. The stamps are going to be from the original UK posters.

    Yes, utter trash. EON should've used the "Bond...James Bond" from DN, the train fight of FRWL, Sean driving before the green screen in DN, and Sean fighting off the men in boats while he was traveling by sea to Venice. AT LEAST THOSE MOMENTS! I love Dan, but come on. 22 seconds?? Dan got to drive the shiny limo, Brosnan got to ride in the passenger's seat, Rog and Sean took the back seats, and Tim and George got stuffed in the trunk. Utter blasphemy!
