I recently got the James Bond Astin Martin and it's pretty fun to play with. My son and I had fun getting this photo. That's legit how high the bad guy will launch. I did photoshop out my hand and use an alternate angle of the chair as you can see in this unaltered photo

Also, this works really well with my micro-fogger!

I also tried my hand at painting one of my figures in gold, but the spray paint was a bad idea. I'll try again with a gold pen

That's a great picture!

AMAZING!

And that second one is a real unchanged pic?   
(mind boggles)

As to the lever think, I found it needs a lot of strenght, imo... Anyways, mine is unlikely to really do that again... like most blinky-winkies (this is one such... because.. )

Great images! It's a great looking set. I held off because I assumed the Mercedes gull wing would be in silver too, but it's going to be white racing instead. May get this one eventually after all.

Nice pictures! Your editing looks really good.

Such a fun project to do with your son. It looks amazing!

Mine doesn't work great.  Where the ejector lever should be on mine, there is just an empty hole.  I bought 2 sets & gave one away as a Xmas present; I was clueless until my brother-in-law showed me what his car looks like.

I showed Deluxe Toy the problem & then called PM USA. PM said they would replace the car after they hear from Deluxe. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The lever is not a separate piece and has no part number, & even if I could get a replacement lever, I'm not sure I could assemble it properly as it needed to be done in factory. PM agreed with me.

Wish me luck!

That's really bad, JLMatterer - but hopefully they replace it - hope you get to keep the extra car!

Good luck!

Amazing photo!

If you haven't painted already, brass spray paint is pretty good for giving a gold result.
