Those getting 2nd issue watch out for the QC on the paint job esp those black panel lines around the wheels.

Difference between DB5 with issue 3 and 6 is that issue 3's car is the one with ejected passenger seat, hence the hole in the roof. Issue six is with the extended tyre slasher on the rear wheel.

you are right, not just the black lines, the white body itself also seen some defects / paint chips.
I went through 6 copies at popular and managed to find the best one. This is also the reason i dont want it subscribe and delivered to my house, I cant choose it myself.

you are right, but at the same time some cars are not found anywhere else as a scale model. so maybe worth it.
RM30 each for a licensed movie product is good pricing to me. The diorama really add a lot of display value to it.

QUOTE(VincC454 @ Oct 17 2013, 01:13 PM)
maybe i share the free gift pictures here?

yes please, I wanna see if the T55 tank and Nellie came with casing as well?

both little nellie and tank dont have a case or diorama
