Matchbox MINI Cooper S ...something strange going on.
I was just at my local supermarket (They call it "Superstore") and noticed somebody stocking the shelves in the toy section. I wandered over and low and behold, there were 6 Matchbox Hero*City Collection #65's - a yellow/black roof MINI Cooper S.
This is the first I've seen of a current version MINI from Matchbox in my area so I took one and put it in the shopping basket and went to do the rest of my shopping.
When I was finished, I thought I might get another one and give it to one of my colleaques at work who also owns a MINI. But I was surprised to find them all GONE!!! It was not a busy time as it was rather late at night.
They were removed from the shelves. The other models of Matchbox cars were still there...even #64 and #66 but no #65.
Good thing I grabbed one earlier. So I paid for my groceries and the Matchbox car and took it home.
Anybody want to speculate why they were all removed from the shelf?

This is all they have on the Matchbox website. http://www.matchbox.com/us/product.a...5§ion=kids I doubt I'll be able to find a pre-made mock-up of my MCS...
At first I was thinking you bought Micro-Machines (remember those commercials with the world's faster talking man? ), but a MINI in Micro-Machine form?? How small would THAT be?!

Matchbox MINI Cooper S
Just found this Matchbox MINI Cooper S in a metallic blue, white roof, white bonnet stripes (see photos). Bottom is stamped 2003, 1:56 scale. Paid 88 cents at Target (bought all 2 of their stock), then found 2 more at Toys 'R Us (98 cents). Even found same Matchbox series at grocery store, but no MCS. Bonus prize is a 1"x1" pirate subject photo/graphic that changes when tilted.
Picture does not show this well, but look for "MINI Cooper S #7" on the lower right corner of the package. Second photo shows MCS out of the package, next to business card.
