    Used to love these when I was younger. I bought two copies of every issue and have an entire unopened set in my garage. I also took issue with some of the assigned scores on the trading cards, I feel whoever did them was a casual watcher. I mean, 100% loyalty for Bond, have they seen how many times he's gone rogue lol.

    I got into the Bond series through an Entertainment Weekly magazine celebrating 50 years of James Bond. The reason why it got me into the series was one of the pages was a map of the world and on that map were lots of icons saying where a big showdown took place, where a Bond girl was found, where a Bond girl died, where a villians lair was located, where a car, boat, jet ski, gondola, hovercraft, or elephant chase took place, and how a villain died (examples included getting shot, falling, getting stabbed or implaled, getting blown up, getting set on fire, so on and so forth).
    For example, North Korea would show a hovercraft chase, a big showdown, and "death" by falling.

    Given that this series was part of a magazine, I am not surprised that Elliott Carver did so well. Thinking of the boss there were we?
    I'm sorry, Anya only got 84% for style. If they can give the space station 90s for almost everything then they can give Anya the same.
    Also, I'm seeing the trend that you really likes Fiona Volpe. Yeah, if the villains had style then she'd give Elektra King a run for her money.
    Had I been your age I would definitely have all these magazines. As it is, I never even knew they existed.

    Actually, they had been issued in France and translated in french. It was around 2002-2003 and they were sold with the movie dvds from Dr No to Die Another Day. So, French Bond fans only got 20 issues and they were called "007: dossiers secrets". Unfortunately, no card game for us!

    @odysseusrex5908 4 роки тому

    This looks like it was terrific magazine, at least if you were a young Bond fan. Personally, I have never heard of it before, which is too bad. I am just slightly older than you (slightly) but this must have meant to you about what Starlog, Future Life, and Omni meant to me in the 1970s. They didn't have trading cards though.
    I agree with you, Ali Kerim Bey should have gotten a much higher style score.
    I would have given Sheriff Pepper a much higher loyalty score. He probably suffered because of his role in Live and Let Die, but he was really more of an enemy than an ally in that one, though certainly not working for the bad guys. In The Man With the Golden Gun though, the instant he recognizes Bond and realizes they're chasing someone, he's with him all the way. He gives as much help as he can during the chase. When they reach Scaramnga's lair, he doesn't hesitate about jumping out of the car and following Bond into the very jaws of who knows what. When the cops show up, he takes the lead in trying to resolve the situation with them. Is he very effective at any of this? NO, but he is going to stick by Bond through thick or thin, up to the neck and in to the death. That's loyalty.
    I would have given Judy Dench's M a rather lower loyalty score. She said she wished Bond had not been released from North Korea, I think she said she wished he'd been killed in a different Pierce Brosnan one, and she threatened to have him killed herself in one of the Daniel Craig movies. Of course, I don't consider them canonical, so that doesn't really count. Also, i realize the cards cam out before most of these instances.
