Here is my collection minus my Tamiya M03 Chassis Mini. All of this is Mini stuff except one MINI matchbox car.
The top one I bought in Chorley in England, the bottom came out of one of the Mini Magazines I picked up while in England.
I bought this metal sign in a small shop in England, don't remember where though.
This is my favorite piece. Bought this at John Cooper's Garage...
My buddy just picked these up today at a 'Corvettes for a Cure' show. I don't know what they are, but the detail for their size is impressive.
There are two unbuilt Tamiya models in the back there...
That is about it I think. I have a bunch of magazines and newspaper articles because I was over in England in 2002 when the MINI was released, I'll have to dig that stuff up later.

I asked my local guy why and he tossed me the Corgi USA catalog to look through. Wasn't squat in it for MINIs or Minis. Mostly Batman and Aviation models and airplanes at that
I'll put a warning out next time RS

Marklin trains rock. They are light years ahead of other model railroad companies in technology and design. But, z scale engines in the US start at around $100 and the most expensive is about $3000.
The Carisma MINI GP is available from Horizon Hobby for $99. I think it would be a blast to have one of these to play with while standing around a parking lot waiting for a MINI run to start. Link below...

Ok since RS can't be tempted with the Mini versions, how about we try the MINI version:
New US version of the 02 Foxton release arrived today. Here's a side-by-side of both versions:
EDIT: US is the one without the red roof.
Oh and the Corgi version of the original Italian Job 3 piece set arrived too, but no photos yet

yeah I want to know where you are putting them now. when I was there you had some bookshelves and a little shelf above it. has Barb given you a WHOLE room yet? but also I have a BIG collection also just that we are still working on the room they are going into so mine are mostly still boxed up. but I have a lot of custom made MINI's that Hot Wheel collectors made for me. I also have one custome painted by a friend of ours who is a graphic designer for Mattel jealous yet? lol when I get the room done there will definitly be pics. my next purchase is on it's way. a MINI ha ha that was on ebay, yeah it's plastic but a cool addition to the family.

Bobbie - Oh yeah the room is mine! Of course that means I have to dust
The bookcases were expanded to 3 and the shelves multiplied out to 5. I'm in the process of rearranging everything. A friend gave me a 5' floating shelf that now has some of the 1:18th scale cars on it, which freed up space on the bookcase for the Corgis. I'm looking to get rid of the bookcases and do all shelves, but wow are they proud of those floating shelves!
I've sorted all of them and placed the doubles in the vault. I still have those 1:9th Big Lots RC cars boxed up, but it's easier to store them that way. I'll have to update the photos one of these days.
Off to hunt for more

All this just for MINI toys
Man I can't emagine what I would do if I went full force into MINI toy collecting. Since I collect other toys too (Transformer, Batman, Dragons) I don't even have space for all of those well enough MINI toys.
So far I have taken over the living room, bed room and my office. When we move into a bigger hous I will have a whole room just for toys
