This year, new release #30 is supposed to be the "MINI Challenge" ...Pics are very cool and on the "HotWheels Poster" (Red w/White)

 

I will look out for it. This is the most recent MINI from late 2010:

 

Reviving an old post, but I picked these up the other day! Both are 2011 HW

 

I have a little information on my Library of Motoring website:

Collectibles: Hot Wheels 2011 MINI CHALLENGE

 

IMHO...looks nothing like a MINI...where'd they get that COLOR from??!!

 

I think it is supposed to be the gold from 2001-2002

 

Nothing "gold" in the 2002 line-up...

too bad no conv in my color

 

Or a Justa in mine

 

Found the 2011 MINI Challenge hot wheels car in blue today at a Target store.

Zerohour - where did you find the red? I am in the same general area as you.

 

The blue MINI CHALLENGE comes with normal wheels (shown above) and also special wheels with redline tires.

There is also a yellow MINI in a special Toys"R"Us 10 Pack.

I rarely see any HotWheels or Matchbox MINI's in the Denver area, but I always have an eye out. I'm waiting to see if they are going to put out MINI's in the Cars 2 toy collection. I would be all over it.

 

Thanks James. I came across your website a year or two ago and really appreciate what you've done there

 

I have the blue and red HW challenge series cars...and the Morris Mini. I picked them up at our local Walmart. They didn't have blue at first, and now they don't have red. I imagine the cars are produced and released in lots. So I recommend stopping in the toy isle while you're grocery shopping or picking up other essentials.

I haven't had any luck getting the Matchbox Blue Austin Mini or the yellow Modern Mini Convertible. I'm pretty sure at five cars, my work desk will be at capacity! lol

 

Thanks!

There is also a solid Yellow MINI as part of a Toys"R"Us 10 Pack:

As I mentioned, there are two blue MINI CHALLENGE versions.

 

This is available through Target. Saw a set myself tonight.

I did however end up picking up two Mini Challenges, one for me and one for my two year old son.

 

Must find! How am I going to keep the nephew away though.

 

See my method above. One for you one for him.

 

Not sure if anyone is still looking for the Blue Challenge car with the red wheels, but there is one on ebay right now (not my auction!) :

I have a cold so wasn't able to head out with hubby to do the grocery run, but I think it was an omen!! He found and brought home for me the #1 2011 CR/W MINI...what a good Hubby!!

 

Not a Hotwheels but I scored a Matchbox red cabrio at WalMart tonight.

 

I scored a Matchbox yellow vert on Ebay. I also have both the blue and red Hot Wheels MCS.

 

I found this one at Target yesterday. Looks like a new variation that I had never seen mentioned before. So that makes a total of 4 different MINI Challenge cars...

 

I'll have to look for that one when I'm on ebay or at Target.

edit: There is abunch of white Challenge Minis on Ebay. Bought one.
