Has anyone got the page of collectible cards/stickers that came in I think Motortrend Magazine in 2004 (?) I think. I have the whole sheet and have never seen them anywhere else. The MINIs are all done like the old "ratfink" hotrod toons, i/e big headed characters, smoking tires, etc. I'll have to get the camera out and post a pic of them. I guess it was kinda prophetic me pulling them out of the magazine years ago and giving them to my son; he gave them back to me (still on the sheet!!) about a month ago when I got my MCS, whole family found it quite amusing, lol.

You mean like this one............. only smaller 
Welcome to the thread and the fold
Those cards also came in small packs much like baseball cards, but without the cardboard gum. I think I've got a few more packs if you're interested..... let me know. 
Mike, we traveled about 300 miles over the last few days and managed to hit 7 Targets.......... no Chrome Minis at any of them. They had plenty of the Baha version, just no minis

thanks for the replies all ( one of the first things I got after the MINI was a JL 04 IB/W MCS, lol
)
Not me. I already have that one. Hope it stays low for you!
Is anybody bidding on this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=180154213803
I was thinking about going for it, but if somebody else HERE is bidding, I'll wait.
This is my list so far:
ctcg=Red Scooter
pwrmacjack=MINI_Bee
rrcats=Mishka
wezensky=dickdavid
If i missed you, let me know.

Well, if you did I hope it was for something good! 
Yes, I got it yesterday and it's Indi Blue. One of my favorite colors and it's a Cooper! 
Now I just need to find another BRG/Union Jack. I already have the LY/Checkerboard 1:18 Hot Wheels and it's very nice. Those show up on eBay pretty often.

Of course it was! It was a MINI! I can't even remember if I was the winning bidder on that item.

The Mother Load.... I hit the Jackpot!
I went up to the mountains today to hit the Blue Ridge Parkway, and stopped by this Die Cast store. As soon as I walked in, I thought, "This ain't gonna be good for me." Boy was I right. I picked up a Johnny Lightning, and will be back to get the rest of these when the money is there. Boy, were there some sweet ones. Limited Edition Corgis, Dinkys, etc!

It might be worth it to check eBay UK for most of those Corgi's.
If you find the right seller you can beat those prices by 50%. I've found a few that ship at reasonable rates, a box of 5 of the 1/36th scale Corgies for around GBP 10. I'd be interested in knowing which stores this was.... OP Taylor's in Brevard by chance?

I just picked up the latest issue of MC2 and noticed that there's an article about diecast MINIs. I didn't get a chance to read it but, they even had a profile of a 'collector' who's collection has grown to '60'. I kinda laughed at that, wondering why that dude got featured instead of some of the folks around here. I bet Smokey and Bobby have many more, each.
Heck, I did a rough count this morning and it looks like I have 115 on display (not including repeats and doubles).
How many do you have?

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that!
I have 94 and have been collecting for about 10 months. Mine are all MINIs.
You're gonna have 117 soon!

Wonder how many Rob (91Eunos) has?
Has anyone ever seen a dark silver convertible (R52)? Could be S or non S. Prefer 1:18 scale, but any would do. The closest I've found is a "grey" one (not quite DS) made by AutoArt, and a silver by Hot Wheels. A good friend's bday is coming up and would love to find one for her. I've thought about just picking one up and spraying it DS...but then again, I'm not that good w/ a can or brush. =/ TIA!
PS. I've stopped into every Target/Toys R Us I've come accross multiple times in the past 2 month and no Chrome Minis! I've seen a couple of the Austin Mini Vans, picked up a couple of HW Morris Minis, and 1 Matchbox Red MCS. /sigh
Terrific thread!

I honestly don't know how many I currently have. I was counting them this morning when my wife showed up, so I had to quit
But I was at 227, just counting the individual shelves the top of the bookcases. Heck, I've got 57 on one shelf alone.We're heading out on another road trip for the weekend and she just asked me if I was mapping out all the Targets along the way
God I love her Here are some poor shots of our latest shelf arraignment:
Don't know if I've already posted these shots and I don't have time to go back and check (see note above about road trip). I'll go back and check later:
My Corgi's
kreative - I've seen a DS vert on the UK side of eBay just the other day, maybe Weds?? Good luck.
Later gang and happy hunting

Ok just finished and let's just call it north of 400.
Mine are Minis & MINIs and I didn't count the doubles I have stashed away to fund my retirement!

Jack,
Got mine today, too!
BTW, your keychain was mailed Saturday. Sorry it took so long, but work has been a PIA recently.

I've got a Hot Orange Convertible RC car on eBay for cheap if anyone is interested:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=140156354956
I was going to put some cool paint job on it to fix the damage left by some previous decals, but I just don't have the skill to do it right. Official site wants $110.00 for these - my starting bid is only $9.99.
