Woohoo!

I just returned from Paris a couple days ago- the orignal minis were all over the place there.

I'd sure like to see some of these older style lit bodies for full-sized mini z...

There are the same scale as Mini-Z... the original cooper, and the other micro-cars, are too small for the Mini-Z so it needed a smaller chassis... thus they made the Mini-Z Lit...

The original cooper is enough to make me want a Lit... however the price is enough to keep me from ever buying one.

Thanks- I thought the lit was a smaller scale then the mini z. Guess I've been out of the loop.

the lit is the same scale as a mini-z. unless you keep up on the info, you would not know this however as i don't hink it's clearly described anywhere which can be misleading.

yes, the price tag alone will prevent me from ever getting one of these despite loving the og mini cioper.

We can hope the price drops. I wonder why they think it will sell that high?

I'm sure the price will drop, but if there are no early adopters - the product will die. So this is one of the reasons, why I've also bought one (besides the fact, that I was hoping, Kyosho will release the classic Mini Cooper body). I was not disappointed and the performance is quite good.
The Lit is a little pricy - agreed, but so was the 01 at the beginning. Most of you have forgotten this obviously
Maybe Kyosho has to pay licenses to Epoch

I hope this product will fly at least in Europe, where a lot of compact car enthusiasts are waiting for other bodies ...

Cheers,

Jo - who's happy, that his favourite compact car will be released ...

Yea, that was a sad moment for Bean when his Mini Cooper got smashed. Poor guy.
Anybody seen his movie, the one with Peter McNicole, or something like that. Guy from Ally Mcbeal.

a few. I liked him best as Mr. Bean, and in A thin Blue Line. That was when he was a police officer. He was also in one of the James Bond movies as one of James assistence. But only in for a brief moment. I think it was Never Say Never Again, can't remember. You'd only recognize him by his voice and a few facial features.

All you need is to paint the Mini Cooper that specific green, a black hood, and make a tiny pad-lock on the drivers door. And you've got a Beanmobile!
