Yesterday, I stopped by Exotic Car Models (it's a mailorder model car store but they have a outlet in Framingham, MA).

They had a "James Bond" special edition Alpine. It's about the size of a matchbox car and very poor quality. The blisterpac packaging is kind of neat.

Has anybody seen these at a Toys'r'us or Wal-mart? I wouldn't mind having one for under $4 but Exotic Car Models wants $75 for the full set of ~9 James Bond cars....all of which are equally as poor quality....

BTW, the model is of a series IV or V (oops) and is poorly painted.
