They are exceptionally well made which is a surprise as they come from fisher price lol

I'm not sure if the wheels would work on hot wheels or matchbox cars though, they might be a bit small, unless you're going for a real low rider look Smile

If you want wheels or other accessories for customs you should really consider a 3d printer, then the world is your oyster!

Nigel, I never really checked if they have blind bags or any other packs, I just noticed the one I pictured. I will check the display more closely next time. You can also check websites to see if they are listed like Walmart, Target, etc and let me know and I can check for you.

Thanks Pablo I'll do that and get back to you...

Hi Nigels. I think these are kind of cool, too. Could you possibly post a photo of one next to an OO or HO scale train please? I'd like to see what the sizing looks like.

Here you go as requested, in front of a Hornby 00 gauge 0-4-0 steam loco Smile

Thank you Nigels!

Here's another comparison shot, the same Disney Car alongside an Oxford Miniatures 1/72 scale Mini Cooper.  They seem about the same scale, bearing in mind the slightly compressed format of the Disney car if this helps.  If you're thinking of using them on a Thomas OO gauge format layout I think they would be just about perfect Smile

Well would you believe it, for months I've not been able to get any 3 packs (or at least not at a reasonable price), then when checking around to see what I needed in response to Pablo's kind offer I found 3 different packs on Amazon.uk at a reasonable price.  I've got two here now and the third is due on Monday, here's the two I received;


@Pablo - I'll let you know which others I need once I get a chance to sort out what others are available that I don't have

I like the muddy Lightning McQueen and Bus


RE: I wish Minis were this quality (Cars Minis) - Nigels - 06-07-2019

Yeah, the bus is the one I really need from that pack, just like the gold Ramon from the other as neither are in blind bags currently Smile
