I will collect this line 'selectively' knowing that total of 130++ issues is way too many. sweat.gif
Will only get the iconic Bond cars.

so far i love the first 2 issues. love the card art and diorama.

anyone here plan to subscribe for the freebies?

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

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.

malaysian version just 50+ issues

omg they cut out alot of the cars then. say 50 + issues within 2 years we can complete the collection.

Yeah, I may go selectively as well, since I only want the cars, not the "Tuk Tuk" and stuff. tongue.gif

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.

maybe i share the free gift pictures here?
*
yes please, I wanna see if the T55 tank and Nellie came with casing as well?

i wonder if we can get the subscriber's exclusive (3 items) if we drop by at allscript office and buy in bulk ..?

So the 8 issues means first 8 issues? Or we can choose from future issues as well?

I am wondering the Tanks collection. are major bookstores and convenient shop still carrying them? cause I dont see them anymore.
The reason I ask is that if retail only bring in the initial few copies, we will be forced to subscribe later on. hmm.gif

worth to collect ~  hmm.gif

worth it of course. i like this series much better than the Tanks collection.
though I do have Tiger 1, RM10 is hard to resist.
