One thing to watch out for if you are new to the HW diecast world, they have variations of the models. They aren't as obvious as say a "White Lightning", just a different wheel style. So you might have what you think are all of the #200 or #158 only to find that someone has a 5-spoke and you have lace wheels.
So when you make the updated list James, we're going to need to figure out which numbers have variations

I even have a pink dyed mini that someone gave me.

Hey I picked up some new minis yesterday. One is a yellow/black top S from Johnny Lightning. The is interesting. I found this $1 two pack at Toys-R-Us. It is the first time I have seen a classic and a new mini in the same package. Just had to get it.

I don't buy a lot of the diecast but if i happen to see them I grab them.
I like the miro RCs the best.

oooo...ooo...I like this idea of "Mini Toys" forum
My collection is very small...no pun intended
I have a RC Kyosho Mini Z with the new Mini body (hard to find) painted silver but not in this pic. I'm also working on a 10th scale gas powered Mini RC

DUDE!! Where did you get that. I have to have one. I'm a huge TF fan. I'm still waiting for them to make an Alternators new mini. Someday
I just picked up the new Mustang GT Transformer yesterday.

Now if I can see if they'll do an IB/W JCW with Aero Kit...
I had that Mini Z Mini Cooper Body! It was white with a Union Jack on it. I had actually moddified the clips to make the car fit on an X-mod. Well I ran the hell out of it and cracked it all up before I found out that you can't get that body anymore.
Oh well. That's what I get for playing with my toys.

Hunting Good~!
Had to do a bunch of honey do's today and managed to sneak off a few times to hunt for the allusive mini/MINI diecast beast!
Scored a few:
T-r-U has the Motor Max metal model kit, and finally dropped the price to the range I was willing to pay (around $13) so I picked it up:
The local Diecast store had these little jobbies squirreled away for me. 1:87th scale only had 2 colors:
and one more Hongwell, Cararama in 1:43rd scale. The close-up picture makes that door look way off, but in real life it's not that bad. I'd say about "a $3.55 model bad"
All these new ones coming out have forced me to clean out some of the triplicates! All are offered at my cost in both purchase and shipping; the tape, boxes and wrapping paper are free! This is a not for profit sale/trade offer, so hopefully the Mods will leave us alone.
JL Import Heat - None available sorry
Down to 1 of the Matchbox Hero-City #65 MCS (0.91 + shipping each)
and 1 JL, Italian Job, Muddie MINI, white (4.23 + shipping)
I am searching for a JL, IJ, Muddie MINI in blue to complete a set for my favorite MA down at Century MINI. I have the white and red just need the blue! If you can help, we're getting ready to order our next MINI and I need to work on the price some! 
Thanks
