I recently had the honour of getting to see a boxed example of the the 1965 Aston Martin DB5 made by the A C Gilbert Toy Company.
Here's some photo's of the model that was produced during the height of 'Bondmania':

The Range chain of stores in the UK have got two different James Bond canvas prints for sale at the minute - and thanks to my wife we have both of them to put up soon in our newly decorated hall.
Back in 2002 I was able to get tickets to a charity screening of Die Another Day at the Empire Cinema in London's Leicester Square. I managed to get a spare application form for the screening - and I'm glad I did as it features the teaser artwork for the film of a smoking gun embedded in ice. I think this artwork is far superior to the final film posters featuring just Bond and Jinx taking aim with their guns, (left). Looking through a box of 007 books I happened across in the loft I found a book I forgot I owned. Quite a special book to be honest.
Here's a photo I took of a replica of the blueprint photo's that Bond has when investigation the disappearance of a Moonraker space shuttle.
Here is a free bookmark that I got from my local bookstore at the time of the release of Tomorrow Never Dies in 1997. On the reverse was a competition to win a Crew Jacket from the film - click on the below images to see the full scans of the bookmark, both front and rear:
One of the presents that my wife kindly purchased for me (Thank You Darling! XX) for my Birthday this month was a model of the AugustaWestland AW1010 helicopter that featured in the climatic end scenes of Skyfall.
Made by Italeri this die-cast model with some plastic parts is in 1/100 scale and is very detailed - especially when you consider it's small size. You can clearly see the Exit writing on the door! It comes presented in a box featuring stills from the film and an interesting variation on the classic Bond gunbarrel logo. I also like the way in which the helicopter model and the Skyfall logo are on the stand to the helicopter. Here are some photo's I've taken of the model: Here's a little replica prop from my collection, Vesper's business card that she gives to Bond in Casino Royale.
