If anyone finds an extra they would like to sell or trade for please email me at [email protected]

I too have Mk1 and Mk2 items. And cash also.

Thanks SxS

Mal you are right. Thats the first Mini event Dennis and I went to.

For those in the Seattle area, I saw at least one of these today for sale @Hobby Lobby in Lynnwood.

 

If you still have one and would be willing to ship one to me, I'll be happy to PayPal you the total?

 

thanks,  Craig

By the way,  I was kidding about giving me a set of wheels. I'll just buy and ship and let you know what the total cost was for you to reimburse if anyone wants one. But there were only 2 when got mine.

Kerri the one given in the goodie bag at Spring Thing in Cocoa Beach was the picture frame one which is the same one that Maddog posted.

My Hobby Lobby in Florida has them. I already had one that Malcolm (Malsal) gave away at a Mini event years ago. I cant remember which event though. I love mine. Malcolm do you remember which event?

Might be able to get my hands on 2 of these tomorrow. Who wants one, and what are you offering in trade? I need a set of 10" wheels, Anyone want to trade? lol. Let me know who's interested, and I'll try to get you shipping costs.

Vespa,

My son spotted the one I have, he gave it to me as a gift. So, I went on FB to my Mini friends and a great friend Tony Bell found me another one for a surprise gift to him for Christmas! My son will be very

surprised!

Here's the scoop from Hobby Lobby corporate:  The item is not received in the distribution warehouse because it is classified as a "Send Out", which means the distributor sends it directly to the individual stores.  They have no electronic inventory tracking system, so they have no way to find out which stores have it, and they confirmed that stores do not ship items out to customers.

Therefore, unless you happen to luck out and live near a store that happens to have this item, you will have to depend on others to go in and physically buy you one.

She did say that some Ebay and Amazon sellers buy their items and sell them, but I did not find it in a search.  Unless I can find out who the Chinese distributor of this item is, I don't think this ones in the cards for me  

Mad Dog gave me the following information if it is of any use:

 

The base is wood with bolts for feet.

willie b is our only hope, i hope he's willing to walk in the HL store and buy us ( whoever wants) and ship it to us.  we just pay him whatever expenses he prepaid.

i dunno what the frame is made of? plaster of paris or wood?

I know the Hobby Lobby I work at part time had 2 in stock last week, they also had the puzzle but I bought the only puzzle I saw.  If it has a part # I think it could be ordered, as we can check stock with the item #.

I called several HL stores and found out that this item is not a regular stocked thing - it is a once only shipment and whatever quantity the stores get is what they get.   Out of 10 stores I called, none had it, though a few remembered having it last week or a few weeks ago.  

The second piece of information I found out is that the stores cannot ship out to a customer.  It is a physical sale only from the store.  They recommended calling the corporate office to find out if they would be willing to ship one or more, which I plan to do tomorrow.

The closest two HL stores are more than 50 miles from me and neither has this item.
