I finally found 3 of the Mini Van Matchbox cars at Target! I was so excited I bought all 3. Opened one to line up with my other cars and put the other two with my other unopened hot wheels Minis.

1 SET - Johnny Lightning, Italian Job MINIs - Blue, Red and White - original run
1 SINGLE - Johnny Lightning, Italian Job MINI - Blue - original run
1 SINGLE - Johnny Lightning, Italian Job MINI - White - original run
1 SINGLE - Johnny Lightning, Italian Job MINI - Red - original run - bad card
1 SINGLE - Johnny Lightning, 2004 New Cars - EB/W
1 SINGLE - Johnny Lightning, Street Freaks - JB/JB

As you can see, I'm trading/selling one complete set and I'm breaking one up (cough Jack cough).

Purchase or Trade Value: $3/US each. I'd rather trade (it's more fun) if anybody has any of the older HW Pop Off Minis in Blue, Green or Black. Or, just let me know what you have and we can talk. If you don't have a trade, you can have these for what I paid for them.

Just PM me.


Looks like I'm down to the following list:

1 SINGLE - Johnny Lightning, Italian Job MINI - Blue - original run
1 SINGLE - Johnny Lightning, Italian Job MINI - White - original run
1 SINGLE - Johnny Lightning, Italian Job MINI - Red - original run - bad card
1 SINGLE - Johnny Lightning, Street Freaks - JB/JB

Thanks, Matt.

Well, I knew it was too good to be true. I found all three MINI Robot models on the Morristown MINI site for $16 each. I already have the silver one, so I ordered red and blue. The order went through and now, a week later, they tell me the order is canceled because they don't have them (discontinued).

So.....if anyone has an extra red or blue robot or knows where I can get them, I'm looking. And does anyone know if the yellow one shown on the back of the package was ever made?

They only made the red, blue and silver ones. I have just the blue one.

I managed to snag two of the Super Chromes at my local Target the other day. The package on one is nice, but the other one is banged up, so the nice one goes in a protecto and the nasty one gets opened! I'll keep my eyes peeled for more.

Helps that we're only 1 state apart.

I am enjoying them tremendously. In fact I took the red one to work since it is almost an exact replica of my car (gives me some hope while I wait for mine to get here :impatient), and it is staring at me from the top of my computer monitor as I type.

Is this is a great group or what? Thanks to Clayton's kindness, I will soon be the proud owner of the BLUE robot. So all I need is the RED one to complete the set.

Thanks!

Hey everybody, I found a few extra of the Matchbox Mini Van today. I'm not sure exactly how many extra I'll have (3-4 maybe), but they're available to anyone who wants them!

It seems like the MB and HW cars spread across the US from east to west. You east coasters are all talking about the MINIs and Minis being all gone from the stores before they even start showing up here in Vegas! I've been to 5 different Targets in the last week and a half and have only found 1 super chome that even listed the Mini on the back of the card! I've also been in 4 or 5 Walmarts and a KMart looking for the MB Austin van with no joy yet. But they'll get here soon. And I'll buy hundreds of them!!! Hahahahahahahahaha....
I think I need to go and have a lie down now.

LOL! they usually start from the west coast. then go down south, up to the middle section and THEN to the East Coast. we are always the last to get them. ask any hard core Hot Wheels collector and he will tell you the same thing. {believe me, my husband is one of them} if you can't find one let me know and I have one extra right now, I will send it to you but the fun is in the looking. I still haven't gotten the superchrome so don't feel bad, and I have a LOT of Hot Wheels guys looking for me too. when they do find them I feel bad about finding it already and buy them anyway and put into my extras box for people that can't find them.

Got my blue robot today! Thanks Clayton. Two down, one to go. Still looking for the red one.

Got my Road & Track today (September issue) and there is a cool insert with MINI trading cards inside. I know it's not diecast/models but still thought you all might be interested.

Did anyone see my idea about building a slot car track at the Dragon next year? I'm guessing it's either a bad idea or no one saw it.

Are those NEW trading cards that are different than the 'MINI Mavericks'? I'll have to keep a lookout for those.

I saw your post about the slot car track. Sounds awesome. Who's gonna building?

Yes, the trading cards are new. There is already a set for sale on eBay.
