The Name’s Bond…..

Friday, October 17th, 2008

With the Halloween release of the new James Bond film “Quantum of Solace” only a couple of weeks away I decided it would be apt to go looking for any Bond branded gadgets on the horizon. What did I find other than the rather awesome trailer?

First up is the ‘Limited Edition’ Seamaster Planet Ocean Omega watch. A replica of what I believe the watch worn by the man himself in the film, though maybe without some of the more innovative gizmos you may expect.

Next is the Sony ’007′ branded Vaio Z-Series Laptop. Now admittedly I have in the past paid extra for my special edition DS-Lite, and GBA-SP, so I’m not going to say that this would be a total waste of money, but that you’d want to be a big fan to pay the extra.

If I was going to pay out on any Bond branded stuff I think that until I’m rich enough to be able to afford some sort of custom Aston Martin I shall grudgingly settle for the Scalextric Quantum of Solace Edition Set.

For those amongst us who want something a bit more ‘gadgety’ Corgi/Master Replicas are releasing a range of Bond licensed products under the “Mission Arsenal” label(Images here). This will feature items such as:

  • Nano Surveillance Camera
  • Pen with UV ink revealer
  • Crypto Decoder Device
  • MP3 Com Link Set
  • GPS Hideout tracker
  • Secret Sender Cell Phones
