MINIMini Toys - Diecast/Models/RC *Caution Lots of photos*
 

Or are we going to mix it up with all the other "Collectibles" threads :confused: :confused:

If so I'd be more then happy to edit the tittle of this thread and post some of mine here.

Here's what I did to showcase the JL Italian Job MINI's

looks great:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: !

Fantastic display...and weathering too!

Did you make the boxes or find them available?

Peter..in Denver

I don't see why this thread can't be it. :smile: Go ahead and rename it! :thumbsup:

Has anyone made a list of Hot Wheels/Matchbox/Johnny Lightning MINIs?

James

They are off the shelf stuff, clearance shelf at that!

I "borrowed" the pics off of the IJ website and tweaked them with Photoshop to get a better resolution when enlarged, add a little Velcro and Shazzam!

Here is a partial list from the MINI of Orlando "Hunter" site, needs to be updated with the 2004 and 2005 models and the JL ones. http://www.minisoforlando.org/minihotwheels.html

Cool!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :cool: :cool:

Here's an old pic of my collection which has grown.

Some day I'll have the money for a collection like this, but as of now I can't afford even the plastic storage/display cases he's got :eek2:

Smokey4, that's MY list! I was hoping to find a more complete one to update mine. :smile:

James

And the circle is complete :lol: :lol:

Well when you get it done let me know and I'll post it for you :grin:

What about mini related toys? And Mini Cooper RCs

I picked up this Toys-R-Us exclusive Mini cooper racing set.

They are called Speedez. It's the coolest thing ever!:grin:

This site is managed anarchy, so start new threads if you have new collectibles to discuss. :thumbsup:

If someone from NAM wanted to make me a moderator of the MINI Collectibles forum, I'd be happy to manage the threads.

I guess I will have to expand my die-casts list to include not only Hot Wheels, but also Johnny Lightning, Matchbox, Siku, etc.

I don't know James.........

I like Dragonflyer's idea. When I floated this idea, I was thinking all toys; diecast, models (plastic & metal) and toys of both the MINI and Mini types.

Separating out the toys would be like having separate threads for print ads from the dealer and those taken from magazines.

It could get so categorized that we would end up with 1:6th scale, 1:8th scale etc..... all the way to 1:87th scale threads. I say lump them all together!

I can go with that. Maybe rename the thread to something that encompasses all of the MINI cars/toys. Works for me. :cool:

James

I like your thinking Smokey4.:thumbsup:

How about this for a title

MINI/Mini Toys - Diecast/Models/RC's Caution lots of photos

Here's a link to my gallery over on Mini 2. Lots of my diecast collection photos there.

http://www.mini2.com/gallery/personal/gallery_3435.html

Very nice collection! I love the BRG Classic pulling the trailer.

I like it. I like the"caution lots of photos" part.:razz:

Here's a NEW pic of my collection which is no where near some of the ones that I've seen.

I have that little red classic. it was a die-cast model kit.:grin:

Nice collection.

Found a new one last night at Target - Matchbox new series "#7" - Hyper Blue MCS

I sent a bunch of those out to folks as Christmas gifts! Nice color and design, however I think the JL's are overall a better quality model then either the MB or the HW.

While you're out looking, there are new Johnny Lightnings hitting the shelf. A Street Freaks Black MCS and a 2005 Lightning Strick CR/Amer Flag MC. I've got them both but only have a pic of the black one.

And yes Clo if you are watching this thread, I've got an extra Black one to send you!

Cool! That's the first black diecast I've seen. Where did you find it?
