I scored a couple of "Follow Me" airport MINI Cooper 1:18 KYOSHO model cars on eBay.

I can't wait to know the serial numbers on them

Hello All - I haven't checked in here in a while - just spent 1/2 hour catching up with this thread!

I just picked up a few of these "local" Foxton's 1:18 scale promos:



On the bottom it shows the NY/NJ locations they used to have:



Anyone interested? $5 ea plus shipping from 07731 - shipping weight should be just under 3lbs. I prefer priority mail, but I'll ship however you want...

A friend of mine came back from a convention and gave me a that pen with the MINI on top. Very nice!

They are all exactly the same - no variations - all as pictured...

Honestly I sold the 2 cases I had through the local board (NEMINI.ORG), but I'm trying to get more - should have them by Friday - PM me if interested.

One person here bought one - I'll let them post if they think it was a good deal or not...

That's strange, now I can't see it either. It's a new Matchbox 5-pack that includes a blue Austin Mini Van w/ a white top.

Blue with a white top is the fastest color. Even in the matchbox world.

Italian Job 1:87 MINIs
One of my local WallyWorlds (4 in a 3 mile radius) finally got some of the ReelRides Italian Job MINIs. Only the red and blue, I don't think they make the white. So I bought an extra red and with a little disassembly and paint I got a white one. A couple of things I don't like about the ReelRides are that the red is not an "S" and they don't have the driving lights. But I am still planning on making tiny little driving lights for them. Still haven't found the 1:64 ones.

GREAT IDEA FOR MAKING THE WHITE ONE.

I will eventually get some clubman models in my collection. Good to know there is a source other than MINIU$A.

BTW, I've noticed the main stream, local sources for die cast have dried up in the MINI market. I've had fruitless hunts around town.

MINI Cooper with caravan
Found this at my local WallyWorld the other day. Now all I have to do is paint it CR. Bought 2, will keep the 2nd one yellow.

I showed this to my wife and we watched the little video. She said "we need a couple of those." I didn't give her time to change her mind before I ordered both colors and they arrived today. Cooper (the PsychoCat) isn't sure what to think about them. They're fast little buggers.
