there no more picking on bobbie....lol
howie.

 

Bobbie...are they in the easter section or the toys?

 

in the toy section. I picked up 7 tonight, 2 are for Mishka the rest are up for grabs. they were $1 each.

Bobbie

 

Please Easter Bunny can I have some eggs? I have been very good this year.

 

Take him serious guys, I've met him

Rob - that train is fantastic My wife looked at me sideways when I walked in with the lunch box. If I came in with that it'd cost me a set of earings for sure BTW, Your box is ready to go out with tomorrow's mail

Bobbie, yours too

 

Ooh, Ooh, I call dibs on the Dickie LY Cabrio. That's my MINI with white wheels. Do you have an extra?

 

You're welcome......... I waited for you to see it

 

how many you want the Easter Bunny to send you and PM your info again, I must have deleted it.

Bobbie

 

nah he's a big softy LOL {with me} lol. and thanks Smokey. you want any eggs?

Bobbie

 

If they are all the same color, then just one is fine. Well, maybe two would be good even if they are the same and I'll put one in my daughter's basket. Thanks! PM on the way.

 

I gather that means you held back on calling dibs on that for yourself? If so, that was mighty kind of you. LY Cooper Cabrios are hard to find, on the road and on the shelf!

 

yeah they are all the same color. I will send you 2. that leaves 3 left for anyone that wants them.

Bobbie

 

I'll let the guys and gals that don't get by the Wal-Mart as much as I do have first go at them I'm sure we'll need something from Wally World this weekend

I seem to recall a thread awhile back where you were asking for any LY verts. Plus I've got to sneak the ones I picked up the other day into the house as it is She'll notice that yellow for sure, these muted dark colors are easier to hide

 

Me too! If you find one let me know...

As far as I can tell the Z scale (N scale?...whichever is 1:160) is the only one that had the train and "wagons" loaded w/ Herpa Minis as a set. The HO 1:87 "set" I've built up is the Marklin train plus a couple empty cars loaded w/ Shuco, Siku and Herpa 1:87 scale Minis...also used that 1:87 set w/ the polizei car and Porsche...found a couple more 1:87 models today including the Herpa Polizei Mini (still looking for the Fuerwehr) and a couple 1:87 Miatas that I'll add to the scene.

Bought some HO gauge track and some doors for the bookcases today...will start building a proper display soon!

Smokey: Did you build or buy those Italian Job framed movie scene displays w/ the cars? I can probably build something like that myself but don't know where to get teh screen shots... Movie posters? Do they have glass?

 

Bobbie, I'll take whatever you have left and will trade even for some of the Siku models... No Walmarts around these parts!

 

Done... Do you want more than 1? I actually have 2 but I stashed a couple behind the rest of the models at a Globus department store down the road.

 

Rob, those are store bought shawdow boxes with glass fronts. I went to the IJ website and downloaded a few screen shots they had up. I few tweaks with PS and then bob's your uncle

The cars are held in place with a little Velcro, surplus military velcro at that, so they're rated to 100mph.

zap me an email at smokey4(at)roadfly.org and I'll send my files to you.

And yes folks I still have everything MINI stored on a 40 gig backup drive Lord, my wife is right...... I need help.

Here's an ad shot from around November of 02

 

Three Wal-Marts, 70 BOXES of Maisto Easter eggs, no MINIs.

This leads me to believe that one of two things has happened:

1) The boxes of Maisto eggs that came to Tampa Bay did not contain MINIs.

or

2) BobbieJ and Smokey are in Tampa Bay for the weekend.

Oh well, it was a nice evening to motor around town with the top down. One cool thing happened...I went by Ferman MINI to take a look at the 2007's. They have had a "history of the go-cart" poster in the showroom for awhile, and I have asked about it several times. I walked in and it was gone and I was bummed, thinking it had been thrown away. But then I asked the sales manager about it and he had saved it for me! I'll post a photo later.

 

Congrats on the poster! Glad they remembered and are watching out for you

 

I updated the links for the shadow box photos back on page 1 they got dropped somehow

 

nope still in Norwalk,CT. LOL! we had about 20 boxes and I picked up 7 and left quite a few more there. so we must have gotten yours.

Bobbie

 

Was at a local hobby shop (hadn't been since my FIRST collectibles purchase) and found a dusty, multi-car, 'New MINI Cooper' display box with these two there!



They're by Kinsmart (didn't know about them) and are 1/56. There was a B/W and BRG/W. $2 each!

I am AMAZED by the detail on such a small model. Check out the rear window defogger/heater!



Would have loved it if there were more. Nifty additions!

 

Nice find there Scooter I love hitting the Hobbie stores and the real flea markets (outside tables and great deals) I've gotten a lot of my rare ones there

Bobbie & Rob - I found a few of the Easter ones today and since I already have a box that will be going to Rob; do you want me to go ahead and put a few of my extras in?
