I'm with you on that DD I try to get at least 2 of each, and no explanation needed!
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.
already have those, the 2 pak is about a yr old. there is a 2 pak with a MINI and a vw together also. have you gotten the EB/B and the EB/W ones yet? if not I probably have a couple of extras.

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.

Welcome and keep us updated on the gas powered job!
What is the gleaming MINI in the lower left of your picture? Looks great!
Bobbie is good people, she and I have been sending stuff back and forth for awhile.
your good people too Smokey. hubby came home tonight with the Johnny Lightning weekend racers 5 pak for me. has the EB/checker roof. now i'm working on my 3rd display case for my little cars. I got the transformer one for christmas. along with the monster garage snowmobile. also received my pre-toy fair MINI in the mail today along with a custom MINI made for a contest on the hotwheels site. the guy who won it sent it to me because he knew I would enjoy it.
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.

Thanks!
Now if I can see if they'll do an IB/W JCW with Aero Kit...
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.

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!
Smokey, I might have the blue one, I will check tomorrow for you. I have a LOT more extras than you lol! still have the hard to find matchbox showcase along with the EB, silver a couple of the hall of fames from hot heels, many more others. got my JL white lightning yesterday, all I can say is it's awesome. all black with the white rims and interior.
