As a kid of the Sixties I regard myself as having a OO licence to collect James Bond stuff. A lot of it is worth a king's ransom and above my pay grade but books can be picked up for a modest sum. Here's a couple from my shelf: a hardback The Spy Who Loved Me and a Great Pan From Russia With Love.
Do any of you collect James Bond readers?
ADDENDUM BONDIUM SCOOPIUM
I can't find a single image of Scoop's Lone Star attache case. Its not even featured on 007 Collectors Lone Star toy section. It must be rare now, probably because the case was made of card.
Here's another Lone Star box set bottom right picture - the set is in the middle [G].
I loved James Bond as a kid. I had the spy case with grenades, camera, a P38 gun and silencer (not the PPK sadly ) and a Winchester rifle which came in two halves and snapped together.
ReplyDeleteMe too Scoop, although I had the similar Secret Sam case. I never had a Bond case and have lusted after the huge US Multiple Toys set for years! Was that one yours or was it the UK Lone Star set?
ReplyDeleteIt was the Lone Star set Woodsy. The case was cardboard.
ReplyDeleteHummm....I think we have a serious contender for the worst pun of 2015 awards!
ReplyDeleteI'm slowly building a set of the HK figures by Gilbert (Guilmark, Gilltoy?...you know who!), but only when I see them cheap in mixed lots as they tend to have a cost way above their value!
