    I do not have a Dandy Mini but I do have many Diapet Mini in different variation. No offence but I think Diapet makes better mini than Dandy. I also hope to get one Dandy Mini one day as I do not have many Dandy.

    Non taken jedison :)

    I have 5 Tomica Dandy Mini Cooper in different colors and variations and all are mint in box. The Diapet is actually really nice however the Diapet I had was a Rover Mini and the casting was magnificent. However it was made in China and was a new casting, so I sold it. I hope to see your Diapets soon! I still have to find the elusive mint in box Diapet Yonezawa Mini Cooper. I'll find it soon.

    Thanks Jedison!

    Daniel, the boot and the doors can be opened but i decided not to as i do not want to scratch the paint :) I chipped the paint of an old Dandy a while back when I recklessly closed the door.
