Theyre made using the same paint that was used to paint the real mini so the colours are spot on

Look what I found at Target tonight.

The MCS is 12 3/4 inches long.
Almost 6 inches wide
6 inches to top of antenna

The dimensions look very correct.

Press the Grills at the side of the front and the top pops loose.

Then after some twisting and pulling, you have a playset for the two Micro Machines size Mini Coopers. Look close and you'll see them at the top of the ramp ready to race to the bottom.

Even the Mirrors swivel.

The antenna is rubber.

The tires are rubber and rotate so you can play with the big Mini itself.

If only they came in Electric Blue

For 20 bucks, this thing is too much.

MiniCooper · Feb 20th, 2005, 01:49 AM

Thats really kool!! I used to have a MicroMachines Van, wish the mini was around back then!

pezboy · Feb 20th, 2005, 02:46 AM

I opened mine up just to check out how it all worked but most likely it'll stay closed forever now.

Got it for Christmas as a joke from my Parents, it's available in the UK from Argos.

cant wait

Just got back from The "World of Wheels" car show in DC and picked this up at one of the vendors. Haven't seen them before and although I'm not sure I really like the way it looks I decided it was a must buy! It's in 1/24th scale and the lights light up when you press a button on the underside.

pezboy · Mar 6th, 2005, 11:30 PM

What does the back bumper look like? The front has an Orciari kit on it...or at least a knock-off.

hubby bought one for me at a custom car show in CT. almost the same thing but in blue. when you push the button it has blue lights underneath that light up also.

I was doing a bit of Mini Model shopping on line
http://www.hattons.co.uk/productList..._list.asp?c=55
Found some nice items

But then I got a good chuckle when I saw these 'banger' models

does anyone know is any companies have done this to any Mini or MINI models?

MiniCooper · Mar 19th, 2005, 12:47 PM

Vanguards probably will do that to the Mini this year I think, they only done the morris minor last year
