So this is the 4th Superfast car? I never found any of them...

 

I think so Paul............
The CR/B from a few years ago
Last years DS/W and PW/W (overseas version)
and now this one.

Good luck!

 

Still Looking also. will let you know if there are extras.

Was at Target today and saw one of the recent Hot Wheels classic Mini's (the red and white one, #165 I think) on a card with another car. I didn't get it since I already have several of the regular versions and this car was not different than what I had other than having a second car on the card.

 

Hmmm one of those went for around $15 on eBay a few weeks ago. It had a Honda on it as the second car, maybe that's why it went so high








Oh and I found the new Superfast Only 2, so I'm still looking for more for youse guyz

 

Here are some photos of the new stuff hitting the streets & one of an older one.

Superfast:




And the new Maisto Special Edition and the Urban Metal I found in clearance:


Tuesday is restock day at our local K-Marts

Edit: only the Urban Metal was in Clearance.

 

Well, it is a 20+ mile drive to that particular Target, but I guess I could recoup the gas money on ebay. . . .

I sure gotta find those new supefasts!

 

Well since it's going to rain & storm tomorrow and I'm off (it works that way every week ) and can't play golf.....I guess I'll swing by Target and see what's shaking!

 

I'm supposing you did? Went by Target night before last and they were GONE. Did get a classic mini Hot Wheels with removable body, so it's now BRG/W.

What's another 40 miles? I take Ruffner Highway personally.

 

Finally, a new MINI Superfast!! Thanks for the info guys.

Today at my local Toys R Us I found a two pack of their cheapo diecast cars (can't remember the brand name, but the two pack is only 99 cents) with a weird green colored MINI w/ a Union Jack on the roof and white bonnet stripes, and a red classic Mini w/ white roof and bonnet stripes. If anybody wants one, they had tons of 'em. Just lemme know.

 

Thanks for reminding me not to disclose my hunting grounds around this town!

 

I have a photo of a MINI memory stick. Does anyone know where they can be picked up?

 

There were a couple of NAM users who embedded memory sticks into toy sized Mini/MINIs. It don't remember ever seeing a purchased one. If you do a search on USB and memory you should be ably to find the instructions on how at least one of the users did it.

 

Agro,

Thanks for the info. I thought that if they could be bought someplace I would get one, but if I have to make one, I am going to have to do without. I barely have opposing thumbs and they are both on the same hand. Sounds like someone could patent it and make some money.

 

Which ones are you speaking of? There is a MINI one that they put out with GP info installed on it. Don't know if it can be wiped clean or not. They come up on eBay every once in awhile, as a matter of fact that's where I borrowed this photo:

 

Smokey, I was actually thinking about the ones Qwertmonkey and Coop310 made out of toy MINIs.
Here is COOP310's, and here is the link https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=74225


Qwertmonkey's instructions on how to make one are here: http://www.techdebates.com/people/william/?page_id=48
and here's a picture.

 

Yup I remember them, I was just saying that MINI did put one out, just not as nice as those. I really need to make one of those. I've lost 2 memory sticks inthe last couple of months. Bet it would be harder to misplace those

Of course pulling one out in a meeting might be a little strange too

 

The people I usually am in meetings with would not be surprised in the slightest if I pulled one of these out. They've met me.

 

Hi All,

I have been looking high and low for the green Superfast MINI but have been unsuccessful so far. Anybody have any luck? I have checked all of my local stores. Havent been seeing many MINI's in stores.

Bob

 

Hey Bob,

Check out post 531 above.

I was able to grab those awhile ago, but haven't found anymore at our local places.

 

I will continue the hunt and post any of my finds. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...s/thumb-up.gif

Its good to know there are other people that have the same "passion" as I do on the diecast. My collection is up to 110 cars.

 

^^^^^^

Passion is a good word, much better then those normally used to explain my collection. I have a few of my diecast photos in my gallery I haven't counted mine in awhile, I'm a little afraid too

 

Hey, all.

I started my diecast MINI collection a couple months ago. I've picked up four 1:18 scale cars and six of the 1:72 scale models. Love them and have made a very cool home for them on the wall in my garage.

However, I'm having problems locating a good source for the models in between those sizes...say, 1:24 or 1:36 scale. Can someone please point me in a good direction ? Know of a good website ?

Gracias !

 

No, More along the lines of OBSESSION! lol I won't say that Smokey and I are about even in the diecast department. I haven't found any yet either but my Hubby just started working part time at Toys R us so I will get first grab at them when they come in

Bobbie

 

Best source is going to be Ebay --- buy wisely and don't get carried away!
