Personally, I'm ready to ditch all this diecast junk. Let's have a balsa wood and tissue paper MINI kit!

Just kidding.

I've seen some die cast MINIs that look like what you're describing.

My bargain was yesterday at Walmart..... 1:87 Italian Job MINIs. Red ones & blue ones $1.00 !! The Reel Rides Brand/Malibu International.
They're sweet...hard plastic cases. They were in the clearance section of the store here in Denver,CO

I hear ya. I have the 1:24 and 1:18 Hot Orange Cabrio models from the dealer, but really would like to find the 1:12 version (that I could afford).

I just got back from Germany and I was able to pick up a few die cast MINI's.

I got a 1:87 Herpa Clubman which was available in black or silver (both with the silver roof) and a couple of Siku 1:64 scale cars. One of the Sikus is a Polizei car.

I also got a 1:64 scal red cooper made by Welly and a yellow 1:43 scal made by some Chinese company. The name escapes me right now. I saw several more that I did not pick up. They seemed to be everywhere over there.

I'm not sure if this Mini is a new one, but I found this at Wal-Mart. I only saw it in the five pack.

One of my Husband's friends found the new All-Star MINI's for me at Target yesterday. I just saw them on E-bay the night before. talk about fast service. I got the white one that is all modified with rims, stripes and a chrome engine.

Your best bet is to check E-bay. that is where we find what is new out there. I'm sure that there is a Laser Blue out there.

I havent' seen a model that is all Laser Blue. I believe the Mini dealer has one that's laser blue w/ white roof and bonnet stripes. You could always get one and paint over it.

IT'S OKAY - YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL...WE'LL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS! Just kidding. The robot (although I'm not the original poster of this picture) is available (or used to be) through MINIUSA as an accessory or toy. THey're not really a transformer, since the robot is....well...immobile. You can't bend anything and only a few pieces move. Which is why MINE broke.

Sorry - when it broke (and I couldn't fix it with glue...) I had to throw it away. I don't think MINIUSA does it anymore since I can't find it again! The MINIUSA website used to have the robot configurator on the site, so you could have it as a desktop thing. Alas, it is no more...
