Hoo-boy...what a flurry of trades and what not! :impatient

Smokey: Would like 2 Kinsmart Cabs - EB and LY. If the EB is spoken for/gone...make it the PS.

Let me know and many thanks!

 

Smokey, if you can get an extra of the Kinsmart LY cabrio, I would like one of those please.

The Gators won so I had the day off in Atlanta. It rained most the day so I decided not to rent a MINI and go driving. Anyone know of any stores in Atlanta where I might find some diecast MINIs? I'll have some time in the AM because the game isn't until 9:20 PM.

 

hey Smokey what about me I don't have any LY Convertibles only if you have extras.

Bobbie

 

Glad to see everyone sees the value in having a LY convertible. Everyone needs to have at least one!

 

Ok I think I've got the list straight.............. one each for everyone

I'll just tell the wife to grab all of them and sort it out tonight

 

Smokey, if there are any of those convertibles left, I'd take one of each.
You interested in trades?

 

Yes, it's true. I bought a die-cast car that is NOT a MINI.

Please tell me it's OK!

Here's the hottie that got me in trouble!

 

we'll forgive you this time. nice car though, hubby would be drooling

Bobbie

 

Scooter...my LY Cabrio arrived last night. Thanks a lot.

 

Thanks Bobbie. There just something about a Mustang. I actually test drove one when I was searching for a new car and was completely MINI ignorant!

Glad it arrived safely. They are kicky little cabs I must say. Btw, I have 2 more. Was thinking some late-comers might want one!

 

You got it! Don't know if I can get one of each as we've cleaned out this store and they are bring in stock from their other store to fill our order, but we'll see what we can do.

I'm always interested in trades but, like you I'm sure, it's becoming tougher to find new items More a commentary on my feverish collecting

Mine did too! It looks great and I'm slowly building up the strength to unwrap it

My better half managed to swing by the store tonight and grabbed everything they had; she had to answer the inevitable "What are you doing with all those cars?” question. Easy answer - my husband is a nut


I figured you needed a car lot shot to get you through the wait



I'll let you know how things go tomorrow, BTW I forgot to mention these are Motorized

 

Kinsmarts rule!

I have the wee 1:56 (green and black) and they are the cutest! Pull 'em back and z-z-z-z-z-z-zip!!!

Thanks for the 'car lot shot' Smokey. Can't wait to see what my 'draw' is in the grand scheme.

LOVE the answer for the inevitable question.

Nitro MINI! 73.4MPH

 

Got my LY cabs today Scooter...thanks!

Bookcase is officially overflowing; the wife and kids are back in the states for a couple weeks so I should have time to revamp the display. I promise to post pics soon!

 

Sorry for the slow update posts, but work has been a real pain the last week

Anyway, managed to get 3 more of the verts That makes the count 3 LY and 2 of each other color (Black, BRG, PS, EB and CR) we cleaned out the store here, but theirs the slim chance that the other store still might have some. I haven't had a chance to check it out, but hope to sometime this weekend.

But a more realistic time frame might be Monday. I'll let everyone know how I did on their requests then too.

 

Smokey, do you have any spare LY and EB cabrios?

 

Unfortunately, the ones I currently have are spoken for. But I'm hoping that by Monday they will have restocked, yet again, and I can grab some more.

I'd be happy to look for you

 

Thanks! I've been very busy lately and really fell behind in the MINI Collecting. The two colors I mentioned are first choice, but any (and all) colors are fine with me.

 

Good deal. They seem to be spreading smiles around the globe. I may have a surprise for you. Will let you know when my next 'shipment' arrives.

Looking forward to see your collection pics. I have officially grown out of my first display case. Hmmmm...what to do...what to do...get MORE MINIs!!!!

 

Got my LY cabrios too! Thanks! More like Mellow Yellow in color but still very cool. And the best part...they're Coopers.

 

New? Find

I was at the speed shop yesterday and noticed a Maisto? H2 pulling a trailer with a silver and black MINI on it. I believe it was 1:24 scale and it is a regular Cooper (non S), so I'm personally not that interested in it. However, if you are, I would be willing to ship it to you. PM me if you are interested.

 

They've been out for a few years now. There is another version with a SSR pulling the MINI. The H2 one is a little strange as the scales are mixed; the MINI is a 1:24 while the H2 is a 1:28 making them look almost the same size

It's a good find, as they have been cleared out of my local hobby place

 

Sorry for the "gap" in me getting back to everyone, but it's been a busy week

I've searched the stores and managed to come up with a combined total of 15 of the Verts I couldn't fill everyone's request but we tried. I'll be checking back in with the stores every once in awhile, so who knows!

Here's what I have currently spoken for:
Rob: 1 each of Red, LY, EB, BRG, Black and PS
minivern: 1 PS
Red Scooter: 1 LY & 1 EB
BobbieJ: 1 LY

Agro: If you still want one each of what I have left, Red, BRG and Black, let me know.
Mishka: All I've got left is CR, if that'll work let me know.

I'll adjust what I have available depending on what Agro & Mishka decide, but as of now I'm down to 1 CR.

 

Wow, Smokey! Thanks for 'running the store' this week. It's fun but gets a bit crazy! After doing the run of LY Cabrios, I know!

If that CR is left over/doesn't have a 'home', please put it in with mine!

 

Ever been to puffins.com?

I bought a couple of Sikus (they showed Y/B and I got G/W ) BUT they were great about it.

The best part is they exchanged them (paid for all postage) and I got these for $2.40 each! The Sikus were $3 each!



The site said these are 'Toysmith' brand and were $4.50 each! But after receiving them, I see they are Wellys!!! The scale isn't marked but I'm guessing 1:32. And the pullback action is strong!

Make sure you pay $2.40. The young lady on the phone gave me the 'new' price.
