Blood for the Baron!

I'll have to go back tomorrow & take another look for those

I don't know too much about the set, are they particularly rare?
The Lotus seems to turn up in every box of junk cars I sort though.

The gift set itself is quite hard to find. It used to sell for around the £200 - £300 mark if I remember (when I was seriously collecting Bond). Here's a link to a picture

and a close up of the three harder to find parts

The Juniors (and Seniors) Lotus are quite common as it was very popular and produced over a few years. The Stromberg helicopter is the next, then the Jaws van and then I'd say the Mercedes. I just spotted a link to one that sold on eBay for £30.

Thanks for the info R.B. sadly no sign of the other ones
I've also seen the van, in an old magazine article, as part of another 007 Juniors gift set which included the Space Shuttle, Drax helicopter, Aston Martin & Lotus.

Today's special value:


My local Model Zone shop has been selling these guys off for only 20p each..for that price I simply couldn't resist.

The guy, @ the till, must of loved me as I paid with all the 1p coins I've been accumulating over the last few months

You seem to ave a great deal of luck with finds locally. I don't think I've found much in charity shops for some years. My best finds come from carboots and I struggle to get to them since my little boy was born.

My persistence seems to pay off, I'll happily visit the same shops many times a week, 99% of the time nothing nice will turn up.

This truck's far from mint, but it looks nice alongside my pair of (Corgi Jr's) Metropolis City police cars...if I can find one, I'd like to add the Daily Planet helicopter to the set too.

The shop also had the (junior version) Spider-man custom van aswell but the stickers were too badly damaged for me to consider buying it.

There is something nice about it...I mean.. it's such a basic toy which was obviously a cheap & cheerful money spinner, on Corgi's part, to cash in on their Superman license yet it just works so well.

Oooh I had a very battered version of the Supermobile when I was young.

I had that sub with the punching chrome arms! Mad!

My Super Powers Supermobile also got battered after the earthquake.
