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

i've seen a few places la, 1U only have 1 issue 2 left, many issue 1 & 3, only popular & mph has them, those news stand/magazine store doesn't sell.

the thing is issue 2 has many QC issue, so you'll probably have to go tru 5-10 of them before finding the better one.

issue 3 is not sunroof la it's a hole. if sunroof not too bad.

true....one place maybe sold out fast...but theres plenty more stock elsewhere...its never really sold out
as you can see at allscript...theres always lot return stock to them from newsstand/bookshop
since you will get the same car again on issues 6
so this one will have open rooftop as the diorama is from goldfinger's factory chase after he ejected the henchmen out

For Issue 2 memang susah find good car, coz it's white, any defects is easily noticeable, then the case also some are scratched or cracked.

just asking..when you buy from thier office, can choose or not?

heard some cars got quality issue.

if buy from mph or popular..i can choose until satisfy with the condition.

hope the office staff don't just take the items from below the counter and not give you any option to choose the cars  sad.gif

so buy from 1 save rm30 lo.

QUOTE(VincC454 @ Nov 1 2013, 10:55 PM)
no...8 issues means you need to buy 8 issues to get the free gift

like your case since you already have issues 3 meaning you need to buy issues 4 until 11

sorry but the Jaguar is the most iconic James Bond car in history, then DB5 then Lotus.

The BMW Z is probably the least iconic James Bond car.

Yeah, most people love the DB5. The submarine Lotus ain't too bad either.  icon_idea.gif

you don't need to keep using the same line of cars to make it popular & iconic.

Aston martin gets the most exposure due to them willing to chuck out the biggest amount of money.

If not mistaken, only the bad guy used the jag. The reason why BMW is least popular is because its Germans. laugh.gif
But the machine gun didn't stick out.
