I do have PayPal. And following Smokey's lead I picked up two of the new CR/CR Cooper S Matchbox cars today on ebay. There are dealers here in Tampa Bay who get into the cases before regular people ever see anything good on the pegs, so I have given up looking for the new stuff.

Seller name was K2441. She agreed to combine shipping which made it a better deal. And yes, I agree. Even in my Cooper I would have burned a gallon or two of gas looking around for them.

K2441 is Kesha out of CO. I've purchased from her before and right now she's probably getting buried by the snow storm. Yup, I did the combined shipping too - makes it more better!
I just found the Hot Wheels PopOff Morris Mini and bought the LY/W and CR/B Yat Ming 1:72 scale MINIs to go with the EB/W Yat Ming and Matchbox SF DS/W MCS I got a couple of weeks ago.
Some friends got me these "City Cruisers" 1:43 MCS Cabrios for Christmas:

Any idea where they found the City Cruisers? Liquid Yellow Cabrios are hard to find and that one looks nice.
I just took a closer look at the box, and they are made by New Ray.
Found some 1:32 scale New Ray 2002 MINIs at Dollar General today for $2 each. They put out two new boxes and there was one in each box.
Although I know CR/W is considered a classic color combo for the MINI, I have to say I'm geting tired of the die cast companies always choosing that combo as a primary offering. Where are all the great colors like cool blue, purple haze, hot orange and yes, LIQUID YELLOW???
Anyway, I have one of these available to trade.
They also had a box of 1:43 Maistos out but the MINIs were already gone.

Yes, we need more Purple Haze toys!
I'm about to send a photo in to Johnny Lightning to see if they'll make PPE's Cooper into one of their offerings.

Good luck. I've been after them to make more MINIs for a couple of years. Seems like they're under new management and they now have a refreshed brand look. Maybe it's time to start asking again.

Which flea market was that? I'm in Tampa. I'd like to get the yellow version of that Alta cabrio.
I picked it up at the Big Top Flea Market. Did not see a yellow one or I would have picked it up.
There was only 1 sliver MINI left. (Non vert.) She may have had some more hidden somewhere.

I've been looking for those locally, but no luck yet. There was a 4 car case on eBay the other day with a BIN of $33, I think. Not sure of they were the Alta ones or just the Tuner version, but they were similar to that
The cabrio and hardtop versions of those Tuner cars are available here at a decent price:

Can you post a photo of the Alta one you bought, with the lights on? It's supposed to have working headlights, fog lights, tail lights, stereo lights and undercarriage neon.

MINI_Bee, You do push a button on the bottom and it looks like the Fog lights, rear tail lights, amp, rear speakers, and the so called neon lights under the car light up. Head lights do not light up. All the Extreme Tuner MINI's light up.
