A new HW treasure hunt in the old style. This one is out of Germany, but maybe one of our HW experts (hint bobbie) could tell us if this is also a stateside release.
Well, it looks like this is a worldwide release. I've seen 3 of them listed on eBay from US based sellers, so be on the lookout in your local stores. It's old style in yellow with a CB roof.
I noticed that also and had meant to come back and correct it, oh well too late now
Strange design for a car roof, looks almost like euro merge markings on the road, and excactly like Chevrons used on runways to indicate that the surface is unuseable.
This of course means that I will have to get one to go with the other aviation related MINI Diecast I have.
BTW, one just hit ebay with a buy it now of $59.99 :impatient

CB= Chevron Bars
Actually I'm glad that they're a different pattern. I hate when they come too close to older version like:
It just gets too confusing.
ALSO,I'm even noticing a difference in quality in the HW 140 depending on where it was made. I'll take some pics later.
Ah, I thought for a moment you had figured out the K-Mart connection. Did you find the short card at a Target by chance? They seem to be the only store that carries them around here.

I had seen these on eBay once or twice before, but never in the stores, until tonight!
New toy line Urban Metal found at both the K-Marts here in town, so maybe they're at your stores too.
There is also a new 1:6th scale RC Cooper at T-R-U, it's the Fastlane brand and is a redish purple with ghost flames, chrome spinner style wheels and gullwing doors, black aero grille, with the chrome line bumpers, sorry no pictures. $79.99 and no I didn't pick one up.

I'll have to keep an eye out for those.
I did see the 1:6 RC COOPER. That thing is HUGE!!!
Don't have that many, like you guys. Mostly PS/B Coopers like mine and the special ones like the FIAA and the Follow Me in 1:43 (2x)
Got also a New MINI from Schuco with the Belgian flag on it :smile:
But I thought I'd show you my latest acquisition.
BTW: this picture is taken at a friend - who's a bigger MINI collector then me (if you look at the back)

Smokey - a big thanks for the tip on the Urban Metal MINIs. I motored over to our local K-Mart after work - haven't been in that store in probably 6 months. And YES!! There they were - 2 of them - with a big sign that said "Donna, we've been waiting for you". They are now tucked away into the collection...
