The R. Sterling name on the business card is also an Easter egg from The Spy Who Loved Me, where Bond posed as Robert Sterling when he met with Stromberg.
I don't know, 180 bucks seems quite expensive for what you're getting. It means the value of each drawer is about 7.50. That seems pretty high for things like dice, socks, and a business card. The front of the Advent box is also very plain. Just black with numbers. How dull.
Once it arrived, I had bappily forgotten what items it contains so I’ll save this video for later. But happy to hear the instructions from HQ about when to start opening it 🎉
Some nice pieces but my biggest gripe is that by my count there was 1 piece referencing the Connery era, 1 piece from Dalton, 1 piece from Brosnan, 3 from Craig and then the socks which are not from a specific era...why nothing from the Moore era?!
I would be pretty disappointed with that for the money. Wallet, ice cubes, bottle opener, handkerchief and sleep mask are all things I would never use. That leaves a pair of socks and a print that I could take or leave. But thank you for the review, David. Worth the price of admission just to see you struggle to open #3. We've all been there.
I was expecting there to be 24 drawers. So I was watching thinking that it didn’t seem bad value so far but then it stopped at 7! Also, the drink rocks being from License to kill, when you said it was heavy, I truly thought it was going to be the lighter that said ‘to James love Della and Felix’ - that would’ve been brilliant. Not for me a that price but fun to watch though.
Thank you David for showing this item. I was curious about its content but now that I have seen what this is I feel the price is too high for the average Bond collector. I will agree that the GoldenEye bottle opener is a fun item but the rest is not. I hope someday the OO7 Store will offer affordable items.
Ok ok... had to stop the damn video at marble ice cubes, and ask my wife and my daughter to order it for me! No more spoiling of my favorite Christmas gift... (she smiled and blew me a kiss)
A 7 days advent calendar? What? 250$? And that is the content? Oh my.... Well, the whole content would be worth 30-40$ to me. So, I would feel cheated BIG time. But with just 1000 items they can rip off some wealthy hardcore fans.
Thanks for the review I know that these products are not for me, I have most of these functional elements in my lifestyle from other brands already. Good review though.
I love how companies sell 'genuine' prints ?!?! That's an oxymoron. It's either genuine or a print !!!! I'd expect to pay £1000's for the genuine artwork but definitely not a print (copy). Still nice calendar though.
the only things i liked was the key/bottle opener and the envelope(without the mask) cos diamonds are forever is one of my favourie bond films, but 185 quid are they takin the piss
That Universal Exports wallet will be perfect for my Irish money and card that will get me a free "Save The Tiger" poster at any participating Orlando Exxon station....
The phrase “a fool and his money are soon parted” springs to mind.
Like many things in the 007 store it's way overpriced. £185?!? It's not even worth a third of that.
Thank you, i just saved £185 +p&p

*A handmade card holder, made with genuine leather, will cost you around $4.*
I would love the Goldeneye key, but the rest I wouldn't really want. Not for that money anyway. But still a fun video!!
I have to agree with the others... I don't see the value maybe if it was 24 items with the value of the 7 we had here.
Thanks. Looks like all that is worth $25 atmost😂

It actually works out around 35 dollars per door.
Yes,but to a Bond fan(collector) it’s worth it,you won’t get them anywhere else..
Is the handkerchief a nod to the burning secrets ceremony at the start of NTTD? where handkerchiefs are burned and thrown out of the windows?

001st 🍸 I'd like to open up one of the drawers on the calendar to find news....Bond 26 is happening....Yeah!
Some nice pieces but my biggest gripe is that by my count there was 1 piece referencing the Connery era, 1 piece from Dalton, 1 piece from Brosnan, 3 from Craig and then the socks which are not from a specific era...why nothing from the Moore era?!
The SLUMBER Inc. gift certainly brought back some memories because I was there when they shot that photo which appears on the envelope.

And on the 007th day of Christmas, James Bond gave to us: Safin Swanns A Swimming.. Un-Der The Ice !!!
Thanks for the review! Not for me as there were only a couple of items I would like to own. A cool watch would have been a nice surprise!
Is number 007 a new Bond Movie?
Ok ok... had to stop the damn video at marble ice cubes, and ask my wife and my daughter to order it for me! No more spoiling of my favorite Christmas gift... (she smiled and blew me a kiss)

Great video David! Where might we find the cardigan you are donning?
It’s a Billy Reid waffle weave
So many deep cut references in this set!
Well played Mr. Bond(David).
Pretty cool. I wish you would have talked more about which item was which decade. But I guess you know that we know.
I’m old fashioned I carry cash held together with a money clip! (you mentioned Ziggy from Quantum Leap I remember that TV show!)
£185 it looks like a charity shop cast off
Sorry you can keep it £20 maybe ? 🤷♂️
Aren’t the Vesper socks the same purple has her gown in Casino Royale?
omg here we go ill wait till payday Nov 30th
Thanks for the review I know that these products are not for me, I have most of these functional elements in my lifestyle from other brands already. Good review though.
Thanks david for giving me a heads up not to buy this,I’ve learnt a lot today👍
One of the top corners is smashed. Who was the transporter?
Love Bond , but that's a bit pricey for what little you get.
I love how companies sell 'genuine' prints ?!?! That's an oxymoron. It's either genuine or a print !!!! I'd expect to pay £1000's for the genuine artwork but definitely not a print (copy).
Still nice calendar though.
Fabulous video, thanx for the look inside.
A sleep mask branded with Slumber Inc.
How clever.
I don't remember, was there a significant scene in NTTD where Bond pulls out a handkerchief? Maybe that is the significance...
The bamboo bit was as unexpected as it was funny. 😂
Ethically grown Bamboo is the only way to go 😂
🏴🍻🍻🍻the best bits ,are the box itself 😝
the only things i liked was the key/bottle opener and the envelope(without the mask) cos diamonds are forever is one of my favourie bond films, but 185 quid are they takin the piss
That Universal Exports wallet will be perfect for my Irish money and card that will get me a free "Save The Tiger" poster at any participating Orlando Exxon station....
Very cool, but out of my budget 😢
I like the dou dous!
You tried hard to sell it but to be honest it’s all shockingly bad.
Watch check now
Nothing from Roger Moore era
The weirdest ripoff I’ve ever seen 🤦♂️
Bit sad to my mind!
So overpriced! No thanks.
You’re not even getting a representation of all the bonds, celebrating 70 years of bond it isn’t
this james bond advent calendar is overpriced.
Not worth it
Very boring
Yawn 😴
It’s worth making your own adventure calendar. So far I’ve ordered the map and the gun book you reviewed previously. Best wishes! 🫶🏼
