MINI Robots available!

All,

Prominent links for diecast versions of the MINI Robot, model "R50R" (who has an R53's hood scoop, go figger) on MINI-USA and the Owner's Lounge.

Pure Silver with Checkered Flag

Chili Red with a Union Jack

Electric Blue (I think), Bonnet Stripes, and an American Flag

$20 apiece, limited poseability, no mention of actual dimensions. At $20, I wouldn't expect it to be any taller than 6"- 8".

Enjoy!

Matthew Z.

Just a heads up....


Check the item descriptions on the final invoice. It took me 3 attempts of clicking on it to get the EB one to show up. It kept adding another silver and checkerboard

Thanks for the heads up on this Matt

It doesn't transform. It can be "posed" but is pretty much stationary.

You only ordered one!

How do you think I knew to check the final invoice for the correct colors? I mean the silver one is nice, but I didn't need 3 of them.

P.S. The shipping for all 3 was only $4.95 to NC and while we're on the subject of shipping; why does the shipping calculator default to Alabama? I changed it once, yet at final checkout, there it was again - Alabama! Since you're from the town of Burning-ham, thought you'd know??

Here it is! I can't wait until I move to the new house so I can open it and destroy its value as a MINT IN BOX collectible! Sorry, but I gotta PLAY with my toys!

yes, I ordered it right when I posted. . .

edit: guess I am not the first to get mine. . . I was too excited to get the pic posted that I did not bother to check if others had posted their's already! Ya beat me GBMINI!

I thought I did really well by just picking my favorite and not ordering all 3. . . Would have preferred that the EB one have the GB flag on it, but that's ok. Maybe mine will end up painted BRG if I get really bored!

These things are HUGE !!!


Mine also arrived today, just prior to me leaving for work, thank god! I think I was able to get 2 of them downstairs into the MINIroom without being noticed, the other went to work with me. Since the weather is looking like we won't be doing much flying tonight, I'm glad I brought it. Now I'll have something to do
