Well, I brought back several spares, but no-one was interested in the Cadbury classic delivery vans I paid $20 each for and still have 4 spares of, or the Hot Wheels Super Chrome box sets that I paid $30 each for (plus tax) and have 2 spares of.
I spent close to $300 on Minis and MINIs in Aus while I was there, and enjoy my treasures, but I have a big rubbermaid container of spares that tells me I need to buy far fewer extras for trading.

I set up one of the little MINI Cooper Chase battery-operated slot car sets today. It's pretty cool. It comes with stickers for the MINIs (tail lights, side markers, bonnett and boot badges, etc..)
Here's a little movie clip of my son and I racing. He's driving the Chili Red. Glad it was only a slot car!

Mishka, Smokey and I did some trading last year but I ended up going home with most of my extras. I was thinking it would not only be great to do this but also it would be great to get a die-cast vendor there. Asheville Die Cast is the closest one that stocks a fair amount of MINIs. I think if someone came with a good assortment of the Wal Mart variety and some nicer stuff too they likely would sell a bunch.

91Eunos, that's not one of my pics. I don't have any of those country cars. The closest things I have are HW sized cars with Japanese and Aussie flags on the roofs. If you run across any, I'd happily trade for them though.

Loose green/UJ MC HW size

Can you please send me a quote for these? Thanks much!
No MINI mentioned, but I suspect some of you would be interested in this anyhow:

I bought one radio-controlled MINI Cooper S in 1:20 scale (about 7" long) at Macy's for $18.00. Originally $29.99, priced 40% off. The only color at the SW Plaza (Littleton, CO) Macy's was electric blue/white roof. It's fairly well detailed for an RC car. The mirrors are white, chrome gas cap, chrome around the grille. Great for $20 in my opinion. The car uses 3 AA batteries and the remote uses a 9V battery. The remote has forward, reverse, left and right. Made by Excalibur Electronics. See photo.
OMG! I've been looking for one of those! A few mail order places had it last year for the holiday shopping season, and then it vanaished. Despite my numerous and not-very-subtle hints, my wife failed to get my one for christmas last year. I'm going to Macy's on my way home tonight!
It's the only EB scale model of any kind that I've seen with the X-lite wheels...
