While we had a list back in January for the next Mini 6-Packs: Piston Cup Dinoco Highway 66 We finally know what’s in them … mostly … and they’re surprisingly better than first thought … it’s only a mini preview as Amazon has only put out incomplete photos … (link to Amazon – though not […]

The mysterious and exclusive Mini Adventures playmat is out with TWO exclusive MINI’s! I was still waiting for mine to arrive but Al L. of the fun www.miceage.com (all things Disney theme parks) sent along some pics to tide us over. The playmat folds out to Disneyland – a rarity according to Al who says […]

Hitting stores as we speak … First time packaged together … Still called “Gray.” More Mini Piston Cup racers … and yep, NO STALL is more orange than red … not sure why? Was available in last case but making a return appearance here … Cute and nice! Mini King available separately. Rolling down the […]

This is an easy checklist – only 4 … Pullback on the trailer and your kinetic energy is transferred to the mechanism, release and off it goes. The only downside is the mechanism is not small so the trailers can’t really hold anything … This is the first availability of Ramone in Purple as a […]

The Mini’s are only getting better and better … (don’t worry, No Stall only looks orange). And Mini haulers … Both of these CASES seem to be shipping … CollectorMom has already spotted CASE F (or in actuality, the remnants of CASE F …) Yes, there is a rumor the Mini’s are going exclusive but […]

It took a while for our three esteemed judges to come together to declare a winner (I was not a judge since I qualified the entries). WINNER: Little cars. Big KA-CHOW. Minis. From “Ace.” RUNNER-UP Super Calla Fragelistic Expi Minidocious From “DaddyO” GRAND PRIZE WINNER: RUNNER UP PRIZE: Original post HERE. Ace & DaddyO, please […]

In honor of the MINI, a tiny package of goodness, artistry and fun … a mini MINI’s contest … To be precise, a Mini Haiku contest. A real haiku consists of 5-7-5 syllables for each line but that’s way too much reading and ‘riting 🙂 Instead, you get 5 WORDS to form a winning entry. […]

The best analogy for the MINI’s are they are the California Adventures Theme Park and the 1:55 series is Disneyland. No matter what, it just cannot hope to compare. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with California Adventures, it’s just not Disneyland. Or if your brother is Michael Jordan … good luck escaping that shadow […]

I wonder how many of the items/playsets & tracks popping up this week were buried in a gardening pallet … The first of the previously announced MINI PLAYSET-TRACK is out … now called Race ‘n Rescue with the Fire Station fascade and MINI RED. These were the original photos of the track set up, I’m […]

It looks like the early proto packaging pics of the 5-pack Mini’s has all been updated to the 6-packs of Mini’s in the U.S. or maybe the international ones will be 5-packs? But it looks like in the U.S., the 6-packs are the format. And I’m guessing each 6-pack will look much more like Crusin’ […]
