Giant toy MINI @ Costco
Hi,
A coworker just informed me that he saw a "Giant" red and white MINI at Costco over the weekend. He claims it was 3 feet long or so and the box had a picture of a grown man sitting on the roof. Price was about $125. He assumes it was a powered ride-on toy, but for the price I'm not so sure.
Couldn't find it on costco.com and multiple google searches revealed nothing.
Has anyone seen this? Does anyone have it? Pics?
Thanks,
-Mike

There's a COSTCO next to my commuter lot; I'll check it out this afternoon.

I saw one at Costco yeterday (San Leandro, CA). It is a motorized sit on and ride toy. The box says it will go up to 10 mph and it has two rechargable batteries.
Its red, with a black flat seat on the roof and a T shaped handle (handlebar) also on the roof to hold onto.

It is definitely a kids toy. I think the minimum reccommended age as 8 years old.

Given the quantity, size and scale of things carried at Costco, perhaps it might have been an actual MINI?

And that is the exact reason we did not buy one for my 3 year old niece. Can't have her motoring off into the sunset faster than mommy can run!!!
I'd have paid the same for one that only went as fast as mommy can walk.

If Bubba, I mean Bobby from the video fit on it I think most adults could ride it.
