Nice one carl, thanks for the pictures, such a cool box you had 8) do you remember if the vehicle was a no coo with a scar ? :?
I don't, sorry :cry:

No problem carl, I think the no coo with a scar was packed and sold it that box :D

Great choice for week 1.
MLC-3 was my 1st mini and absolutely loved it. It was so cool it had to be belong to Han Solo so I decided it was his personal vehicle for his many adventures :D

The boxes just look fantastic on display

I had a few mini-rigs as a kid and have fond memories of them but didn't have this one and don't own one now. Still interesting to hear about it though. Quite a comical looking little machine with the bubble cockpit cover. Heavy firepower for it's size 8)

Hi

A very cool toy. Here is mine. The box is in better condition than the vehicle. The box is the $1 rebate version.

It looks so cool with that $1 rebate, what a cool item 8)

I am very fond of the mini rigs, although Kenner did seem not to know when to stop, they seemed to grow and grow in number. The MLC-3 was one of the initial three mini rigs launched in 1981 but the $1 rebate version was a 1982 re-issue with 5 mini rigs advertised on the back.

A great spin off was the bootleg Uzay mini rigs. The 1982 re-issue also featured the special offer sticker with rebel commander figure which has elevated the toys collectability.

I will be making a new post in January on my website www.retrotoyinfo.co.uk featuring all the mini rigs released by Kenner

Thanks Lars, I think it is a scarred COO but will take a photo when I'm at home. The INt-4 has a Macau coo with a MAde in Mexico sticker from memory but there was no sticker on this.

I started this run when I got nearly all the INt-4s

Palitoy, rebate and euro releases
