Visited the local Walmart at Willows, CA while staying overnight for the MINI Thunder event the next day and found these.

Cool! Gotta see if the local Wallmart carries them as well. Thanks for the tip.

I've seen the BRG/W one at our Wally Mart, but not the rallye one. Let me know if you can't find one and I'll see if they still have them.

I found this at TRU in 1/43rd scale.

I found a couple of them.

Hello all...

Haven't been around for a LONG while. Have been cleaning the MINIs and noticed this on a Matchbox of all things. Is this a manufacturing "defect" that makes is worth more?

I have two but would love more. Let me know if anyone has seen good ones (other than eBay).

Question: The 2002 Hot Rod design: Is there more than one version?

Was reading on their site and noticed the latest designs and started comparing the photos to the two I have.

Thanks!

Clayton

Cabrio Set on sale ...

Hey guys...long time since I've been in here but it looks like we're finally getting ready to move back to the US. Since my Mini will be passed on to a good friend here in Germany...and I need to raise some $$ for repairs to our house back in the 'States before we move back home, I'm parting with some of the models I've amassed since I've been over here.

I don't really want to get rid of any of them but need to raise some $$ soon (roof leaking on the US house = $$) and would rather these go to you guys before I put any of it up on flea bay.

Biggest items are the 1:18 Kyoshos and my HO-scale Mini Cooper logo Marklin train plus rail cars with a lot of cool HO-scale models. I paid over €400 (Euro) for the Marklin MCS engine and another €80 or so for the rail cars...then added in all the Minis. First $500 (dollars...what a deal for you!) plus shipping/insurance takes the train + rail cars with at least 8 cars thrown in.

The white/black top Mini (second from the left ) 1:18 Kyosho isn't for sale...going to my friend who's buying my car...but everything else is up for grabs. I paid ~ €100 each for these models but they're all for sale for $75 each plus shipping. Any of you who have them know the quality...if you're not familiar with Kyosho just do a quick search and you'll see what I mean.



Don't know if MiniBee, Smokey, Agro or any of the other guys I've traded stuff with in the past are still on the board but if you are, drop me a line (I think you guys have my e-mail) or PM me...lots of the "extra" cars and stuff on the shelves plus a ton of stuff not in these pics will go to y'all if I don't sell it in the next couple of weeks.

I also have a Mini Cooper slot car track...wasn't a Carrerra Go, a cheaper version I think, stored somewhere in the attic. As soon as I dig it out I'll post pics. Any of the cars in the pics at the link below, including the Carrera Go slot cars (also have the police car version, not in the pics) are also for sale...make me a reasonable offer.

More pics here: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2850587/2006-mini-cooper-mackenbach-germany-ae-us?p=3

I'll post more pics later. Thanks in advance for any interest y'all...

a couple more pics of the Marklin train... Absolutely pristine. Has only been out of the box in a locked glass-front bookcase.

MINI Cooper S: by Air Hogs R/C, Zero Gravity Real Rides. Red with white roof plus GB flag. Nice detail -- looks like R56. Infrared remote control (included) with variable speed. Car is recharagable from remote controller (uses 6 AA batteries), has working headlights and about 1:32 scale (not labeled). Headlights blink when charge getting low. The box says "The original wall climber," whatever that means. Made by Spin Master. Tempted to take it out of the box. Purchased today at Target for $24.99. Other cars in this line are Nissan GR-R, Ford Mustang GT and Corvette Z06.

Saw this one at my Target, looks a lot like my MINI!

Sorry about the sideways pic...

My MINI diecasts. The red MC has been floating around my room for a long time. I dont remember where i got it. The Austin Mini, i bought at Toy r us yesterday.

Was shopping at Walmart for Easter goodies for my Grandsons, found a Mini Cooper S pull-back racer die cast car by Maisto. they were called Adventure wheels. Very cool. Metallic surfblue with white roof and hood strips. The boys will love them. (I bought the two they had) I have a replica of the mini countryman I have on order sitting up on my mantel and they throw fits whenI won't let them play with it. Now they can have a mini too

New Mini Cooper tying in with Disney Pixar's Cars 2

Comes in a four-pack with a Lightning McQueen and two other racers...

I saw it today at Target but can't justify spending $18.99 ($12.00 online?) just to get the Mini. I'll wait for the single pack shows up.

oh nooozz i should have never clicked on this thread, being a new MINI owner, and huge diecast collector i will have to go dig through my collection now to see what i have and what im missing, LOL.

We need pictures!

Here are some pics of the Revell Mini I built last year.

Ill have to go take some and host them on my flicker page

ill update this thread after i have done so.

Cool! And it is a pre-2005 model---it has the lower center reverse lights.

Looking forward to seeing them.

this is the newest MINI from the Hotwheels release (most of my collection is Hot Wheels)

I came back on board to report this one. Looks like you got it covered.
