For a long time I have drooled over the MINI 1:12 scale Cabrio with the moving cabrio top, real carpet, matching luggage and matching sunglasses. That's right, it's the one that's $440 on the USA MINI Motoring Gear site. Mishka, I know you want it because it's a Cooper and it comes in Hot Orange, Cool Blue and Astro Black. I think it's even a 2005 because it looks like it has your OEM wheels. Anyway, $440? No way. But what if it was $103! Yeah baby! I was on the MINI International site looking at the stuff they have because I have some friends going to MINI United and thought it would be a good opportunity to have them get some MINI stuff we can't get in the U.S.. The I saw the 1:12 cabrio and saw the price listed in Euro. It looked low at 78 Euro so I used the currency converter to check the price. Yup, $103. Link to U.S. price - $441.95 Link to International Price - $103.01 International standard shipping is only $18.49 and express shipping is only $25.09. I'm ordering one today. Too bad they don't have Liquid Yellow.
I love these!!! I found a cool blue one for $50 last year without the luggage and glasses. If only they made a PW S.
Thanks Jack, just ordered one, to go with my collection of over 200. I found a Pepper white convertible with black trim. 1:24 scale in the Maisto AllStartsRed exclusive collection of all places in Target in Wentzville, MO. It was $15 bucks and only sold at Target.
Just got mine via FedEx... this thing is awesome.... though mine has no sunglasses? Unless I'm missing something... My wife is gonna do a BIG eyeroll when she sees this thing, though.
Not that this is the definitive answer but a quick search in the usual RC places shows these to be Out of Stock.
