Hey all--

Along with motoring in general, I seem to have become addicted to mini MINIs...here's my collection so far (the only one missing is the 1:1 scale toy in my garage )





So let's see yours...and which ones your favorite?

Right now my favorite is the Fast Lane Super Slicks 1:43 RC model...it's the one with bonnet stripes, the only MCS I've found so far!

Cheers,

Chef Richie

This is a great thread

My first from Sam's Club last year


Also from Sam's Club xmas of last


I only saw this one once and there was only one on the shelf


This one from a company called mad4models in the UK, at the time the only MCS DS/B with sliding sunroof with R84 wheels



and a few hotwheels and Johnny Lighting



Oh and this little gem from Burago, although the box said "Quality made in Italy" about 50 times, it leaves a little something to be desired. A snap together model


P.S. you might want to put a caution on the thread title for the 56k'ers

 

This one was sent to me by a friend when I could not find a SG/B one

 

Here's a nice set from a fellow member of my local club...she only buys CR/W to match her "real" toy...


Keep 'em coming, I love seeing them all!

Here's mine. It's an RC MC from eBay, but it's NOT the one found at Walmart/ToyRUs. It's about 2/3 the size of that one.

 

Smokey4- Is that British Racing Green Mini a Cooper S? I've been looking for a BRG S model for quite some time now. Who makes it, and where did you get it?

Thanks!

 

My son with the 1:6 scale RC version:

The one on the first shelf 3rd from the left? If so yes it's a MCS made by Johnny Lighting. It's part of the Import Heat series. That one was a gift from a friend, but I have since found them at one of the Marts, either Wal or K.

Don't know if you're State side or not, but the best luck I've had lately is at those $1.00 type stores. The new Matchbox #75 CR w/ Union Jack roof at Dollar Tree, and last years LY/W Hotwheel at Big Lots for $0.79

P.M. me as I've got a few extras, I'd be willing to share to other big kids.

 

Here are some of my MINI toys as promised:

1) 1/18 MINI Cooper made by Bburago (Italy):

This is my latest toy. I have not had time to even set it up yet!

 

I love this thread!

Richard - man do you have great toys!

I love that Nikko mini-MINI !!

My favorite model is on my desk at work!

NO ! My favorite is my 1:1 scale in my garage!!!

and I love that group of red/white MINIs!
I couldn't take my eyes off them!

(take your hand off your wallet, real slow like...and step away from the toy counter)

Ditto! Richard you are da mini toy man! :smile:

Where's the 1:1? Has his grill transplant started?

 

^^^the grill project has begun^^^

With Pebbles help I have inherited a set of DS grille slats leftover from an aero install. I might be trading them to a guy with a black set, he's trying to decide if he wants to put the DS set on his car...
If we swap then all I have to do is install them. If we don't I have to get my silver set painted black (my neighbor paints cars) and then install. Either way I will still have my red set if I want to go back to stock

Actually I must respectfully bow down to smokey4--that is the most awesome set of MINI toys...errr...collectibles (toys for grown-ups

First so-so large scale IB I've been able to find, this one is 1/32 and is motorized (pull back and let go)



And the hunt continues

 

Has anyone found a CR/W MCS no stripes or rally lights? I have yet to find one and would love to have one! Needs to have the sunroof too!

 

super cool....
where do you find these?

 

^^^^^^^^^^

Hmmmmmm...so far--Target, Toys'R'Us, Sam's, Amazon.com, autofanatics.com, hospital gift shop, grocery store, Hobbytown, some toy store I walked into in Vermont, KayBee...I always check out the toy car section wherever I shop!!!!

If you want more instant gratification you can always look here.

Happy shopping!

 

also at your local dollar stores too. :smile:

 

Friend brought it for me from Germany... The sirens go on and it's a blast to chase cats with around the living room!

 

I had seen someone here post something about a MINI PC. It was a PC in a modded case to look like a MINI.

for the life of me I cannot find it anywhere...

 

What a cool surprise to see this one

 

My wife thinks I need help.
