Has anyone heard from Rob lately (91Eunos)? He hasn't posted here in awhile.

Looking forward to seeing your loot Agro.

 

Ditto!

 

Ditto +1

 

Well they've started to arrive. 1 down 2 to go

I focused on the Corgi Mini 7 Racing and the Rally versions this round. I'm loving the detail!

Some crappy photos for now, I'll redo them when they all arrive







I'm in! Waiting to see the treasures

 

Got my Cararama 1:24 Hot Orange Cooper Cabrio today from the UK. The box says Cararama but it's a Hongwell. Are they the same company?

It's a very nice model although the engine detail is way off. Mishka, I think you would enjoy having one of these so I'll keep an eye out for another.

 

Nice one Jack! Yup they are the same Company. I think the Cararama is more of a product line type thing.

 

Jack, repeating to himself after seeing Smokey's Corgis: "I do not collect Classics, I do not collect Classics, I do not collect Classics...."

Man that one with the dirt on the tires and fenders is really cool! Nice stuff!

 

excited to see what you got Agro!

 

Come on over. The classics are cool too!

BTW, Smokey! Those Corgis are HOT!!! Love the detail.

 

I found one of those a while back. Like you said, overall a nice model but some details are a little off. I bought it because it had the same wheels as Gromit-until I counted the spokes. Gromit's wheel only have 5. Like I really worry about that. It's Hot Orange-after that most details aren't important.

 

Has anyone seen this USB powered RC Mini for your computer?

I've seen that posted a couple times but never in person.

And for you Hotwheel collectors....... time to check your stash This one went for big money, yours needs to have the lace wheels too.

 

Holy smokes! That's crazy.

 

nice.... I have both variations, nice to know if I became poor I got some quick money LOL. that's the good part about having a husband who is a Hot Wheels collector along with his friends. they give them to me even though I have them already, but are always on the lookout for me.

Bobbie

 

talk about a profit lol, he paid .99 for it.

 

I guess I need to show that to my wife before I bid $13.00 for one of the chrome MINIs.

 

That RC Mini Is cool. I want one. Right now I'm still on the search for the Fast Lanes Super Slicks 1/32 scall RC MINIs. They are getting really hard to find now.

 

does anyone have a pic of that Hot Wheels Mini? I opened the link, but didn't see a pic.

 

Yup, me too By looking at the buyer's name & history, you'd think he would know the "value"

It is the second from the right in this picture, except with lace wheels.



BTW, I think there are 6 different versions of the #200 HotWheel: solid green, solid blue and then this green with the Collector's.com tempo all with 2 different typse of wheels. I think I posted a picture of them all side by side, but I can only find this one:



At least it gives you an idea of the wheel changes.

Good luck with that Mike Let me know if it works

 

Hey, some of them look familiar lol. how many years have we been sending stuff back and forth, FYI you have a package coming from Howie. I sent it out Tuesday. and Mike don't waste the money because they will start showing up. my motto is if I won't ever find it in a store here, then I will go to ebay, like the British Invasion one from a couple of months ago, I baought that on ebay, also just picked up a Tomy Tomica from Singapore the other day.

Bobbie

 

You see the Orange one? That's from the Power Launcher set, I also picked up a sealed version with both the car and the launcher.

"How long have we been swapping?" Now, let's see we've had the MINIs about 5 years now, so I'm gonna go with 5 years on the swapping stuff too. Tell Howie thanks for me, I'll be looking forward to it.

Another shipment came in today and I managed to take a few better picutres of the other Corgis from the other day

These are from the 1999 & 2000 Mini Mania line they put out.









And my Favorite (look at those wheels )


Some updated shots of the other Corgis

Mini 7 Racing line:













BTW, the lights really work on this one, although I haven't tried them yet, but soon!

 

wow smokey, nice pics! i envy you and your collection ;-) sheesh, a whole family of MINIs to boot!

 

Yeah well you should be here for dusting week and you might change your mind!

I need to update the sig picture, our daughter traded her MINI (size thing w/2 kids & 1 dog) but I filled that slot with My Classic a real life toy

 

OMG - let me remove my jaw from my keyboard - this one is AWESOME!

What scale are these? Is there any way I get one like this?

 

BTW, I finally found the elusive WHITE Matchbox superfast I've been looking for - I think I have them all now... I had to buy the ugly Dodge thing along with it, but I should be able to move that on ebay soon enough...
