Maglite Solitaire Collection

will · Jun 14, 2006

I started this collection a few years back. I have searched for a complete listing of what Solitaires were available, which colors Maglite produced. There is not a lot of information about these out there. I believe this to be complete, but I am not sure. Hopefully there are other Solitaire collectors out there. I would be very interested to see if there are other colors available, or other colors that were produced. There are a few colors here which would make a nice addition to the 2 AA Mini - Mags, amber, yellow, rose, kelly green to name a few.

( I keep a listing in an excel spread sheet, makes it easy to see what I have )

:kewlpics: :party:

Yeah, what Norm said. That's an excellent collection! I think I'm hooked... and they're cheaper than collecting 2AA minimags. :crazy:

I have:
black,
pewter
ice blue
dark green

None of them picked up on purpose. Actually, all have seen some use. I keep them mostly waiting some day I'll have the modding skils to make a Zetex deadbug pill and stuff a Lux in there.

I saw some odd colors at Wal-Mart a month or so ago. I didn't pick any up thinking nobody would want them. If there's any interest, I think we're going again in a week or 2.

Green,

You should start "collecting" test tubes from the lab, that would be a cool way to display these little guys!

There's an idea. We have a bunch of unused ones. I'll dig through the cabinets, see which ones are a good fit for the Solis.

The pink one I purchased 2 years ago, from Zimmermann in Switzerland, came in a Marquis box. The only one I have like that.

The other square box is also from Zimmeramnn. That one held the Weinrot Solitaire. The smaller box is what the majority of my collection came in. Some from EBAY, Some from Action Lights

greenLED - if you put them in test tubes - does that mean you have to 'experiment' with them?

Nice Very Nice!

I don't have a Mag Solitaire. In fact I don't think I've even owned one! ? :huh: :ohgeez:

Enjoy!

What's so special about Marquis-boxes Solis? I had never heard of those.

I though it was just those that were sent to the non US market. But - I really have no idea...

The Marquis is what the Solitaire was originally called. Another company sued over the use of the name, so they changed it. I don't think they were in production very long at all.

Very nice collection of solitaires, I believe that there are also Earnhardts both Jr and Sr and maybe other NASCAR drivers?

I had not seen them any where - I have seen the Nascar signature ones in the 2 AA Mini-Mags. I stayed away from promotional lights for the most part. there has to one from Bush Inaguration to the X-Files ( 2 AA size ) I did get one Nascar Solitaire light - This was done by Maglite, Nascar Spectrum - nice fade anodize on that one...

Anybody: where can you get the dark blue one?

will · Jul 10, 2006

I got mine at www.waffenzimmermann.ch a few years back. Search on maglite when you go to the site, This is the listing they have. They are located in Switzerland

Maglite Mod. Solitaire, nachtblau

I got this as one of a few items - between shipping and the price of the item, it will be pretty expensive....

Check out www.action-lights.com they have a lot of interesting colors available.
