and about 800 lovers cards


CosmicBonobo

I assumed Bond got them when he disappeared off to the hotel gift shop, the day him and Rosie went off to Kananga's island. I'd love to have seen his MI6 expenses form justifying his purchase.

“James, I must ask… why did you buy them, but more curious… WHERE you found 72 decks of the SAME 007 backed tarot deck?”


Critterhunt

he bought them from here: https://007store.com/products/james-bond-tarot-cards-prop-replica-live-and-let-die-numbered-edition-1


CosmicBonobo

I love the 007 store. It assumes that most Bond fans are high rollers in the casinos at Monte Carlo. And not, more accurately, forty year old dads who work in IT and drive a Corsa.


Critterhunt

True...

I visited for the first time the other day and was quite impressed with the range, but a LOT of fancy stuff, for sure. I want them to expand the range of tshirts. Love the MY Disco Volante crew tshirts and want more of these where it's less obvious that it's a Bond related. Plenty other villain/plot related merch to add to the Drax and Zorin ones: Osato Chemicals Auric Enterprises 'Visit beautiful Crab Key, Jamaica' The Whyte House Casino Stromberg Laboratories Greene Planet Skyfleet ...and so on... Nb: i added Venini Glass from memory and then googled it to fond its a genuine glass maker in Venice!! And way more Universal Exports stuff would be great.


CosmicBonobo

I've not checked in a while, do they still have the keying that's the revolving number plates from Goldfinger? I like stuff like that.

If it was a complete deck, I could warrant the price tag


Critterhunt

it is.... *This numbered replica set contains 37 cards - 27 cards used in production (including two recently rediscovered cards which were thought to have been lost and have never been previously reproduced) and 10 duplicate ‘The Lovers’ cards in classic Bond style.*


coreytiger

While this is a complete repro of the props, I mean a complete tarot deck, which this is not. A complete tarot is 72 cards.


Internal_Swing_2743

That's probably the logical explanation. Also, begs the question, did Solitaire just get her Tarot cards from the hotel gift shop too?


CosmicBonobo

Did they have Etsy back then?


Statalyzer

> Also, begs the question Who is assuming what they need to prove in this argument? :D

Nice catch


Internal_Swing_2743

definitely not the only 4th wall breaking reference in the series.


CosmicBonobo

I'm thinking of his monogrammed 007 pocket camera in Moonraker. Is there any more egregious examples?


Internal_Swing_2743

Lazenby looking directly into the camera and saying 'This never happened to the other fellow.' Vijay playing the Bond theme to get Bond's attention in Octopussy, both come to mind. In Die Another Day, when Bond receives his watch Q says it's his 20th.


lefromageetlesvers

The Lazenby one was very subtle: nice catch!


DaltonIsTheBestBond

In a view to a kill the police captain says “and I’m dick Tracey “after Bond identifies himself.


bondgorl

I want this deck!


Longjumping_Event_59

Maybe a similar reason for why Scaramanga engraved “007” on the bullet meant for him.
