Recently bought a dark silver MCS and have started going to 'Mini days'. Been to a few events now and I've seen little replicas inside peoples cars stuck to the dash. Anyone know where they get them from? They are really small only about an inch long and I WANT ONE! :mad:

Are they about the size of HO (OO) scale?

I have three tiny MINI's, They are magnetic and I got them from my dealer. They didn't cost anything.

I just got a Mini from a keyring and used some velcro sticky pads to stick it down...

Most of my HO scale (1/87) ones are from Herpa, and are actually quite nice.

A quick search through the BMW section:

HERPA Miniaturmodelle GmbH - Online - Products (http://www.herpa.de/collect/(kdckpe4530qbsw32m0l5lb55)/detail.aspx?ProductID=033022)

Even some R56s:

I think these are the same models that the dealership sells, but at a much lower price.

Hi Crystal well i have a few of them as you can see, some were from the motorshow in 2004 and were free. The others i got from MINI, and were only about 2.00 pounds ill try and find the part number for you. (did you notice one where i added bonnet stripes)?

Just before the MINI was released I received this Christmas card with a small diecast mini enclosed.

If you think thats small you should check out the 1/160 scale that Herpa sells in a two pack.
