James Bond gadgets... What do you have and what would you love to own?

[Jamesfett]

Thanks to ed-209, the ultimate Bond collector but more importantly an incredibly great guy, I have a decent start on my Bond Collection.

I decided I would only collect props that Bond himself used or would use. There will eventually be a second Briefcase. The famous From Russia With Love Attache. I am going to try and make a decent looking one from a close enough one.

Anyway currently it's all displayed in or near this briefcase which is the same model Sean Connery carried in YOLT.

My thanks to Ed who had a hand in almost everything you see. I either bought them from him or he was kind enough to verify if what I was looking at was the correct thing. Like I said, awesome guy.

I will put up some additional pics and info on each prop soon.

Thanks, Tom! You have an AWESOME collection that any Bond fan would be proud to own. Thank you for considering my props worthy to be included in your collection. --Ed

This link is to a YouTube video of a commercial we filmed with Desmond Llewelyn as “Q”

for the SD Studios James Bond Replica props.

(That’s me as the lab tech being pushed aside by Desmond)

Any Bond fan needs to watch these all. I have and they are great.

I know he was no spring chicken but it still sucks we lost Q.

I do wish they gave him some kind of mention in DAD.

Even though the film was, well what is was, Star Trek Beyond handled Leonard Nimoy's death in a great way. Desmond Llewelyn deserved something similar. In The World Is Not Enough I love that they establish how much they care about each other.

Not sure if this counts as a gadget. But I have just finished a prototype of the Bond Coat of Arms.
