    Ive recently have been able to get some of these Mini Lindy miniature car models made by Lindberg. I've noticed that they seem to come in some crazy color combinations. Id like to know who else out there has these and what are some of your colors. I will be trying to get a least one of each of the body colors but I have no idea whats colors are out there? The box one I bought has printed on it 5 colors but Im not so sure thats accurate. So far I have four cars. One is a loose red one with a red base and brown interior, the next one I bought was sealed in a box but I had to open it. It is mustard color with a teal base and brown interior (what were they thinking LOL). The third one I bought was yellow with a red base and white interior. This one is in a sealed baggie and what is weird is the instruction sheet is different then the rest. It is titled "1973 Ford Maverick Super Sports. All of the other sheets just have Ford Maverick on them. The fourth one I recently bought is a blue with a blue base and white interior. I was also wondering if the bagged one were maybe cereal promos since the sealed box one that I opened was not bagged at all except for the tiny stuff. Oh yeah and the flower power decal are a cool 70's addition ...

    Wow ... you just refired a brain synapse that could have remained dormant forever.

    I have never seen a Mav as a Lindy, but I must have had another model that was similar back in the day. The chassis and whole vibe of the kit are very familiar.

    Dammit ... now I have to search for more toys ... :rolleyes:
