I just took delivery of the world's smallest mini. You can see it at
http://www.pbase.com/tomcat/gallery/mini_mini.

Cost is about $50 and I took delivery in 4 days.

This is the Nikko iRacer -- It is an IR (not radio) controlled toy that is the current craze in Japan. I got mine (with only Japanese instructions) on Ebay from PlaygroundMania in San Diego. As you can see at
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...20911&rd=1
I paid $42.50 "buy it now" plus ~$6 for USPS shipping.

Have Fun -- Tom

I tried to buy through E-bay, and I couldn't complete the transaction. It may be because I have never purchased through E-bay and didn't understand the procedure. Don't know. My question: do you know the address or email for Playground Mania in San Diego. I live in San Diego and thought I would make contact and go directly to them to buy. You can email me at Tspirit123@aol.com

Sorry I can't be more help -- I just clicked a few web buttons, including a PayPal payment, and it appeared in Maryland 4 days later!

It is a neat, fun toy -- Tom

 

Okay, just picked up two of the little buggers at Toys R Us. They had about five of the little MINIs and five of the little Smart cars. Paid 29.95 each. These are way cool. They hold up pretty good too. Survived a good munching by my daughters pit bull, thrown off the counter by my cat too! It's still running.
