Corgi 2007 Collectors Sets
9th December 2007
Corgi have been associated with James Bond for
over forty years, most famously for the classic Aston Martin
DB5 toy car that was
released to tie-in with Goldfinger - complete with ejector seat.
Ever since, collectors have snapped up
the latest scale model offerings, and 2007 will be no
exception. MI6 had
an exclusive sneak preview of the James Bond
models and collectors sets back in March, and can now unveil
the final items. All four of the 2007 sets are limited editions
of 1500 pieces, with booklets written by Dave Worrall,
co-author of the best selling book "The Essential Bond".
