059 - JAMES BOND'S ASTON MARTIN DB5 SILVER GRILLE EDITION
Great details one of my favorites !
The Batmobile is definitely cool. It's heavy for its size and the quality was better than I was expecting. The presentation box has a great design and is just fun to look at. I would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the shipping mess. I honestly can't say if the fault was with Corgi or USPS. The item was shipped across country to my city and condominium only to be sent back to sender due to "incomplete address". I gave them my correct and full address so, either Corgie made a typo, the shipping label got damaged during transit or the mail carrier simply didnt want to walk the package to my door because it didnt fit in my mailbox. I guess I'll never know why it took 3 weeks to receive. [ If you order one for a gift or yourself, which I recommend, order in as much advance as possible just in case this happens to you. Also, pay attention to the size and dimensions before you order like I did. I knew the size of the batmobile was small but it truly is a work of art *my opinion. I'll probably order something else from them but I'll make sure to order expecting delays.
5 star for product, 0 stars for shipping.
Thanks for reading my rant
I still have my original, and you can't tell them apart!

Thank you, Corgi, for releasing this spectacular reproduction of your Barris Batmobile. I was fortunate to have received the Batman triple set (Batmobile, Batboat, Batcopter) as a kid, and all three received plenty of wear. How sweet it is to have a brand-new version of one of the greatest toys ever produced. Bravo!
Another awesome Corgi classic!!! The Bat Boat looks great displayed next to my Corgi Batmobile. So glad Corgi decided to re-release this one!!! On a side note: To those that are disappointed that the Bat Boat is made of plastic, so was the original!!! Back in the 60’s kids actually played with it in the bathtub or in the swimming pool. A die cast boat would have sunk to the bottom and I imagine rust out very quickly. It would make no scene to make the Bat Boat out of die cast metal. Thank you Corgi for keeping these just like the original!!!
I had this one as a child. As soon as I saw that the reissue was available, I had no choice but to invite it back into my home.
Batmobile with Batman and Robin - Gloss Black Edition (267)
One of the coolest toy cars ever. Lost the bad guy pretty quick when I was a kid, I guess that's why Corgi now includes a SECOND bad guy! Looks great in or out of the packaging and a great homage to the days when toys were well-crafted and feature-rich.
Outstanding quality as usual… The green Cooper is displayed on the dash of my 2014
Mini Cooper!
Never been a Volvo fan, though I was a "Saint" fan watching the TV show in the 60s. This is one of the few Corgi toys I didn't lust after so I never bought it when I was a kid. But you folks do such a great job with the model manufacturing that I can't help myself. The next car I'll be buying is the Green Hornet, another one I never lusted for and I never liked the TV show either. But it will be going in my toy cabinet someday soon!
I remember the car and the movie from when I was a child. This is truly unique and I wanted to add it to my collection.
I was excited to see a new version of the Chevy Impala, as I have two of the original Corgi models. The fire chief and taxicab models that I have seem to be of better quality, even given their age. And they are heavier and feel more substantial than the new Impala. I like the new color choice, but I miss the detail of a car antenna and I prefer the painted grills as opposed to the plastic chrome of the new model. The new Impala is nice, just not a knockout.
So you send me a new model every month automatically?…paid for of course is that how it works?
