One thing to watch out for if you are new to the HW diecast world, they have variations of the models. They aren't as obvious as say a "White Lightning", just a different wheel style. So you might have what you think are all of the #200 or #158 only to find that someone has a 5-spoke and you have lace wheels.



So when you make the updated list James, we're going to need to figure out which numbers have variations
Smokey , I have a White Lightning coming my way for a trade of other Hot Wheels, and Johnny Lightnings. when Hubby and I get the CAR room finished I will post what I have, but I also have a lot at work on my window sill and credenza. plus I have custom made ones that will never be seen in public. those to me are the absolute best. I even have a pink dyed mini that someone gave me.

Bobbie,

Did you just pick that up from ebay? They had a green MINI White Lightning that I missed.

Hey I picked up some new minis yesterday. One is a yellow/black top S from Johnny Lightning. The is interesting. I found this $1 two pack at Toys-R-Us. It is the first time I have seen a classic and a new mini in the same package. Just had to get it.

I have the EB/W but not the other oer those the JL your talking about.

I don't buy a lot of the diecast but if i happen to see them I grab them.

I like the miro RCs the best.

You can usualy order that strait from your local dealer. The dealer can give you the company they get it from too. I think they make them custom for the right price.

I had that Mini Z Mini Cooper Body! It was white with a Union Jack on it. I had actually moddified the clips to make the car fit on an X-mod. Well I ran the hell out of it and cracked it all up before I found out that you can't get that body anymore. Oh well. That's what I get for playing with my toys.

Hunting Good~!

Had to do a bunch of honey do's today and managed to sneak off a few times to hunt for the allusive mini/MINI diecast beast!

Scored a few:
T-r-U has the Motor Max metal model kit, and finally dropped the price to the range I was willing to pay (around $13) so I picked it up:


The local Diecast store had these little jobbies squirreled away for me. 1:87th scale only had 2 colors:



and one more Hongwell, Cararama in 1:43rd scale. The close-up picture makes that door look way off, but in real life it's not that bad. I'd say about "a $3.55 model bad"



All these new ones coming out have forced me to clean out some of the triplicates! All are offered at my cost in both purchase and shipping; the tape, boxes and wrapping paper are free! This is a not for profit sale/trade offer, so hopefully the Mods will leave us alone.

JL Import Heat - None available sorry

Down to 1 of the Matchbox Hero-City #65 MCS (0.91 + shipping each)


and 1 JL, Italian Job, Muddie MINI, white (4.23 + shipping)

I am searching for a JL, IJ, Muddie MINI in blue to complete a set for my favorite MA down at Century MINI. I have the white and red just need the blue! If you can help, we're getting ready to order our next MINI and I need to work on the price some!

Thanks
