Found one of the 2007 Hot Wheels white classic Minis from the "Pop-Offs" series today at Target. First time I have found a MINI of any type on a peg here in the Tampa Bay area.

I have been to several Big Lots stores looking for the 1/9 scale RC MINIs. I haven't found a thing. It may be because it's too close the Christmas. Anyone have a spare one?

Anything really...I have most of teh Maistos already. I'll trade even for the Superfast (I looked and the SIKUs are actually 3Euro = ~ $4.25 each). I'll see if I can find more this weekend.

Want the Polizei car or ?? I also need another of those red ones w/ the Brit flag on top & the #75 on the side--opened the one I had.

Is there more than 1 version of teh Superfast?

...picked up 7 of teh "follow me" cars and another 4 Polizei cars tonight at KinderLand and at a Globus (like a Target w/ a grocery store inside)... Bought every Mini I could find.

Still haven't found a Fuehrwehr (Firetruck) version.

PM me if you want one/more... I still have to figure out shipping costs.

Smokey: I notice that my Follow Me cars have green/yellow "lights" w/ a blue center and yours have red lights w/ a black center...if you have any extras wanna trade one of each?

91Eunos, I'm in for trading. I think I still have a red/UJ Matchbox 75th anniversary. I'm out of town basically straight after work tonight till Wednesday night, but I'll PM you when I get back with what I have. I also have some larger scale MINIs spare. I'll take a Polizei and a Follow me (if it work out that you have anough, I'd take a couple of each). What's the gold one you mention? I have a 1:18 (I think) all Solid Gold Maisto spare too.

Thanks Mishka!

I was in Wal Mart tonight waiting for a prescription and wandered back to the diecast area. While I was there they brought out some cases of these 1:72 scale Yat Ming cars:




The detail is pretty impressive for the size and they come in nice collector boxes with a stand. They were $1.44 each so about $1.53 with tax here (Florida). Looks like they come two blue and one red to each case. I have extras for trade.

I also found another 2007 Hot Wheels Morris Mini and that is available for trade too.

I gather that means they aren't a new find. Sorry if I'm posting stuff you all already have. I have focusing all my attention on my big MINI (is that an oxymoron?), so I'm just getting started on finding little MINIs.

Since I drive a LY Cooper Cabrio, I would love to have one of the Yat Ming's in that color if someone has one.

Thanks!

That's the only one of those I have, but I'm always looking - so I'll keep you in mind. I'll for sure take one of each follow me and polizei cars. I'm also looking for the 4th car in the Corgie 9double9 series. I can't remember the name of it but I think it's the Aussi one, with the light blue hash marks down the side.

Are you a German National or a US Service member, just asking to see if I have to sell a kidney to cover shipping

When we get back to the house tomorow I'll sit down and send off a proper PM, thanks for looking out for us

I'll trade you straight up for some SIKUs for 1 of each... PM me an address and what you want (go to page 19 of my web site for the pics). Mostly have "Polizei" and "Follow Me" ones to trade at the moment.

No worries. These were around in Vegas mid to late last year and I haven't seen any MINIs for a while. If they're showing up again, that's good to know. I don't have any spares of these left unfortunately.

Eunos, I need one of those gold SIKUs too. Again, I have to get home before I can tell you exactly what I have spare.

I may have an extra. I'll check when I get home.

I've also finally found the new Hot Wheel as well as an extra Match Box, BRG Super Fast if anybody wants to trade or something.

...only have 1 extra Gold colored one and it's already promised to Jack (Mini Bee).

Have several spare Polizei and Follow Me versions and a couple spares of the black w/the Brit flag on top. Also have a few spare Matchbox "Stars of Cars" in black w/the grey trim on the bottom if anyone needs 'em.

I'll look for more next week but here's what I show going out so far:
For Mini Bee: 1 Polizei, 1 Follow Me and 1 Gold car
For Smokey: 1 Polizei, 1 Follow Me and 1 black w/ brit flag on th eroof
For Mishka: 1 Polizei and 1 Follow Me
...anyone else?

Well, I really dont have any spares, if I did I would gladly sell/trade with you. I gathered ALL my MINI stuff and put them on the table. The 4 Extreme Tuners in the bottom pic is where they sit all the time. (Before I gathered them up for the group shot.) Anyways, I purchased the cars from a flea market of all places. If I remember right, I paid $10-$12 each for them.

We really should organize a swap meet at the Dragon this year. I've got a box of extra stuff and it would be lots of fun to trade for stuff I don't have.
