Hi All

Just got a Toy Kingdom catalog in the mail and saw this 1/7th scale RC MINI for $119.

It's got central locking nd working lights - fun for the whole family.

What's Santa bring you this Christmas?

Mr poki has been known to lurk on these forums from time to time.

Maybe he might like to whisper in santas ear that I could definately use one of them

It's not BRG

CanberraCooperS · Nov 12th, 2004, 11:09 AM

and its only a cooper!!!! Sorry Cooper owners... no offence!

Look them up on eBay - I recall having seen these little RC cars before for much much less than $119. Who cares if it blows up after a few weeks, most people tend to chuck their toys away after a few weeks anyway

If it's not BRG, goto Supercheap, grab a can of spray paint mask it up then spray

no scoops up the bonnet? Not a problem either, get a knife or something then cut a hole there

Stu got one for me from Tandy (price unknown) and it's quite big. I've seen the ones' on Ebay, they are pretty cheap, but you have to pay $20-30 for postage, and don't get a warranty.

Mines a indy blue colour, with all the JCW racing stickers (endorsed by JCW) , ill take a pic over the weekend and post it.

Its in Pink!?!?

I want one the same as mine... dark silver!

MickyD · Nov 13th, 2004, 12:08 AM

I dunno if the Toy Kingdom one is the same as the ToysRus one, but the ones I've seen are MASSIVE, they're about a metre long

doona · Nov 13th, 2004, 06:29 AM

I have also seen the Giant ones...

A couple of weeks ago I saw some shop at Northland was selling them for $199

Saw some in the UK in March,

scale 1:6

cost GBP199

MickyD · Nov 14th, 2004, 10:08 AM

they've got a really detailed 1:1 scale one for sale at some MINI dealers - extremely detailed. A bit out of my price range for a stocking filler though

Mike Clarke · Nov 14th, 2004, 11:25 AM

Latest ToysRus catalogue has 1/6 scale for $200, not bad considering they were $250 last year.

21Blue · Nov 14th, 2004, 10:49 PM

Lots of stores around Brisbane have them for around $180-200. But all the ones I've seen are 1:6 scale. But for $180-200....you can probably buy a lot of 6 on ebay, and then divide them amongst people here.
