I believe they were sold thru dealerships a couple of years ago and are no longer made

 

As Snooter mentioned, they were made by Mini, and no longer in production. Sometimes you can find them on eBay. They're robots, and don't actually transform.

 

I've been searching the stores here for them (CR ones if possible), but haven't found any

 

ho well thank you...it just seem like a nice piece to add to a collection especially if they are that rare...thank guys

 

Here are the pics of the Dub City:



At Walmart, I found a NEW Maisto Power Racer, 1/36 scale, Mellow Yellow/Black, R56 MCS with stock R50 wheels:

 

I misspoke earlier. I did not find a Dub City. I found a Maisto All Stars pepper white cabrio. And today I found a Maisto Power Racer like the one Richard found but it looks like Laser Blue. I found it in two scales, 1:36 and 1:43. The Maisto All Stars was at Target and the other ones were at Wally World.

 

I think I saw that Pepper White Cabrio, but didn't get it.

Looks like Maisto got a deal on that Laser Blue paint. Here is the 1:64 version I found in that color. I'll have to keep my eye out for the other sizes.

I found this one about a week ago. I also got a 1:64 Hot Orange cabrio from eBay recently. If I remember correctly, it's a Majorette brand.

 

time to go mini searching! I really wanna find those dub city ones and the maisto power racers. Thx for the pics!

 

Well, after searching and searching, I finally found myself a pristine 2007+ 1:18th scale MINI Cooper in Chili Red available through none other than MINI itself! I purchased it, along with a 1:87th scale die cast from the MINIUSA website under "Accessories."

Funny thing is, it's made by Kyosho, who in an email to me said they had no plans to produce such a die cast! I guess they produced these under the auspices of MINI, and were only available for purchase through the company.

I'm astounded by the detail. Everything from the "fuzzy" carpeted areas and trunk, to the minute decals underhood and the lanyards holding the cargo area cover. Heck, even the steering wheel turns when you turn the front wheels!

Enough already...here are some pix:

















I now have a trio of mini MINIs, including the 1:43rd scale die cast I purchased from the dealer when I took delivery of my car.



The smaller two of the three have a very clever display box, which enables you to close it up for transporting, then unfold it for display.

If the 1:18th scale had five-star blaster rims, rooster red interior and the chrome package, it'd be a dead ringer for "The Wee Beast!" Still, I love it. Well worth the purchase price. I'm very satisfied.

So, for any of you who have been looking for a 2007 or newer Chili Red MINI Cooper 1:18th scale die cast, look no further than the MINIUSA website!

 

Just in time for Christmas:

There is a new Matchbox mini van out. it is rust colored with decals on it.

 

Cool! I'll keep an eye out for it.

 

I found the 1/36 version. No luck with the 1/43 just yet. I'll post pics tonight.

I found this as well. It looks more red than rust. It has white decals that say "BENZ Electrical Specialist" and a white plug graphic on the side. I'll post pics later.

 

 

That is a PHAT model!!! If it comes in lightning blue with the stripes and the sun roof then I WANT THAT!

 

DD you found the new one lol. I also have 2 Dub city MINI's the red w/checker roof and the black w/checker roof. I also have the white All Star one. my husband's friend found them for me. it's good to have diecast collectors in your pocket.

 

Thanks for the heads up on the MB.

Do you have pics of the white All Star MINI?

 

Still scrounging around for the DUB models, or other R56 ones...no luck

 

I actually found this car in a 4 pack at Wal*Mart today. I didn't see the single one so I had to get the 4 pack. They also had a 4 pack with a dark green MINI with a black top. I'll wait to see if I can find that one in a single first. I had to have the blue with the white stripes since thats pretty darn close to my car. Shame this one doesn't have the sun roof and the fact that its an S and a first gen. Whatever I'll probably velcro it to the back shelf of my car.

I hope to find one of those dub city or power racer ones eventually.

 

I haven't seen that one yet. I'll keep an eye out for that one as well. Thanks for the heads up.

 

NP!

 

i want!!

 

Anyone here know where I could find a MINI slot car - HO gauge?
