Back
in August, speaking in a Q&A session on their website
SciFiHobby,
company president Steve Charendoff said: "We have decided
to take a rather unorthodox approach to Casino Royale. Rather
than issue a stand-alone set for this movie at the time of the
film's theatrical release, we are going to build a Mega-Bond set
for release to coincide with the DVD release in March. This Mega-Bond
set will focus very heavily on Casino Royale, but it will also
contain elements from all 20 of the previous Bond films. Again,
it's a bit unorthodox, but I felt we could benefit significantly
by waiting until after the movie has been released to put together
the best Casino Royale cards possible."
He added, "We will inevitably have more
autographs, more costume cards, more prop cards, more, more, more,
because right now a lot of these elements are simply not available
to us. After the film's release, we will have much greater access
to all the good stuff, including special effects images and more.
I realize it is hard to wait, but I am convinced that it will
be well worth it. Thanks to all of you for your patience and faith
in us to make the best Bond sets possible, which is always our
goal."
