A very impressive 1:8 scale die-cast model of James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5, complete with essential details including working lights, pop-out machine guns, flipping license plates, ejector seat, bulletproof rear shield and more.
The catch? It comes in 86 parts as part of a 22-month magazine build-up series from Eaglemoss.
And not for the first time, either.
First two issues (plus parts): €1.75. Issues 3-86: €9.75. Total cost: €822.50 (+P&P).
Alternatively, you could have five and a half LEGO DB5s with no wait, or (for €2.33 million) the real thing.
Can’t believe they’re still doing these magazines!
They underprice and produce huge amounts of the first issue or two in the full knowledge that they will go straight into landfill. The business model is trash and best ignored.
When I was a kid, my cousin had the Corgi Cars James Bond DB5. I wanted to gouge his eyes out. He also had the Batmobile & Batboat combination, the bastard.
