Are there no Mellow Yellow R56 miniatures?

russr · #1 02-18-2008, 08:56 PM

I've looked all over, but I cannot seem to find any Mellow Yellow R56S/R56 miniatures. Ideally, I'd like a 1:18 scale, but I'd settle for any size.

I have been looking as well. No luck so far.

I can't find the thread right now but there was a person offering to hand paint models and customize them to create an exact replica of your own car.

Other than at dealerships, I haven't seen any R56 toys yet.

Why no mellow yellow officially from MINI?

I'm thinking that the 1:18 pepper white/black scale model of the R56 might the best candidate to paint to Mellow Yellow. What do you guys think? How hard is this?

Oddly enough, Testors sells a 1:32 Mellow Yellow R50!!!!! Ya just can't win, can ya.

Ok it's several months later, did anyone find any mellow yellow MC or MCS diecasts?

I haven't found any...

It's a shame cuz the MY is such a nice racing color and it suits the MCS so well.

We don't have any wally worlds here in NJ. Can you post a pic please?

Picture - Duh!
Had to get this from the Maisto website - imagine this as yellow...
I took it to work for my desk collection - have 50+ there!
I'll try to remember to take a camera to work on Monday and get you a real yellow shot.

I don't see any image.

I was just looking on Ebay for MINI gift ideas and came across model you guys might like.

Thanks for posting that. They are still available on ebay. It's a nice model, though I would have preferred black stripes/roof. Also the wheels on it are kinda pimpish.

Seriously. Seems like most MY models have the white roof & stripes; odd when you consider most MY's seem to be specced with the black

At Walmart, I found a NEW Maisto Power Racer, 1/36 scale, Mellow Yellow/Black, R56 MCS with stock R50 wheels:

russr · #21 05-07-2009, 02:46 PM

I know this thread is old, but has anyone found any more mellow yellow R56 models? The above posted by dickdavid is the only one I've seen and it is very poor quality IMO.
