do you have a picture of the marilyn. I can't seem to find what that one might look like

Scavenger Hunt Marilyn is quickly becoming a unicorn... I've seen less than a dozen in the past few months. Between eBay, Amazon & Google Image Search. No idea what happened with this case. And with production moving from China to Thailand it could complicate the issue.
And welcome to PCD, always glad to meet a kiwi. :-D

I didn't think it existed because I couldn't even find a picture of it lol. I agree it seems like a unicorn car. I will keep my eyes open for it.

Yay another kiwi

I get the feeling the community in NZ is a bit bigger than we realize because I have seen Cars die casts being snapped up and fought over on trademe but I think we are all little islands mostly. Do you know if there is facebook page or something for kiwi collectors?

**KiwiMcQueen** · 01-09-2019, 01:02 AM

I'm also glad you interpreted marilyn as being the scavenger hunt one lol

**GotFrank** · 01-10-2019, 05:43 AM

Oh, I'm not a Kiwi. I'm in the U.S. heartland. But I enjoy the temperament of the South South Pacific. I also really like Flight of the Conchords. I have "met" collectors from Indonesia, New Zealand and Australia. But we had an old school collector who was a kiwi back in the day. And it always seemed to be a tough market in which to collect.

**KiwiMcQueen** · 01-10-2019, 09:30 PM

haha okay I thought you might have been kiwi by the way you talked. I have met a collector who has 900 + in NZ when I brought a double up off them. There are collectors in NZ because I notice rare ones on trademe (our version of craigs list) tend to get fought over and snapped up and often see comments like "that will look good in my collection".

It is tough because I look at the prices you guys in the US pay and cry. $3 or $4 is unheard of down here. I get excited when a local store runs a buy one get one half price deal so I can get two for $15. We pay $10 for a 1:55, deluxe typically $15-$25 and forget anything other than base lines. I have to order in from the states and postage is the real killer. So after exchange rates and postage we can be paying $20-$30 for one item. Shipping time can also be 3-4 weeks as well. We also don't get haulers down here either and I have only once seen 1:24s in stock anywhere in NZ.

Also doesn't help that a lot of stores in NZ are winding up the Cars lines because they only carry them for the duration of the interest in the movie. Getting some great deals atm but sad I'll be left with only ebay and facebook groups for my fix lol.

No worries, I am aware how to "take the piss out" of something. But on the other hand I think Vegemite is abhorrent. And I'm ashamed I probably only have a 65% chance of distinguishing a New Zealand accent from an Australian accent. But Peter Jackson, Flight of the Conchords and to a lesser degree Lorde. If it weren't for the Pacific Ring of Fire I'd love to live there... Yes, we do have it well economically speaking here in the U.S. I think some European countries see similar prices that you have to deal with. I think The Netherlands may be the highest in Europe. So of my many complaints over the years the retail cost hasn't been one. ;-)

These are the other Cars Kiwis I was thinking about:

Their last posts were 10 & 7 years ago, so probably not terribly relevant for what it's worth.
