Corgi 2007 Collectors Sets

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".
