That is what I thought these Gold MM were going for..

Souptree welcome to the forum. Happy hunting!

 

[souptree]

Thanks! I was just holding out for the 24k to come out of the shadows on this thread. I am hopelessly addicted to these things! There is something about them that is just so pleasing to the eye...

Hey, don't blame me! Sizzlechest called me out! :nana: I was planning to wait until I got the 24k, and then post on the thread, but I still haven't gotten it, so....

Mind sharing some? Looking forward to those pics!

Which reminds me... I took some pics of that light blue sizzlechest sent my way, and I haven't downloaded/posted them. Bad green, BAD! :whoopin:

:lolsign:

 

[sizzlechest]

yeah, photos we need photos.

Green, you wait until you see my updated collection of "green" lights. You're going to poop your pants!

Finally managed to aquire my very first Copper mini-mag last night.

I've EDC'd the Mini-Mag for 22 years.
My story is here for those who wanna' read it:

https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/141266


After viewing these threads showing all the lovely and beautiful colors,
I've started thinking (dangerous !) about how dull and boring
my Black ones are. Gotta' get a little COLOR in my life.

Especially since i've become a big fan of the new MJ 2-AA LED module,
which just started shipping in January.

Bought 2 of 'em from Sandwich Shoppe for $20 + 3.11 shipping = $23.11 total.

Must say that these lovely little "drop-ins" have made me
fall in love with the Mini-Maglite all over again.

(note: my tastes are weighted more towards Long-Life, rather than High-Output)

Surprised that there isn't more interest here on CPF about these.


But i'm only gonna' buy a FEW of the colors. Honest !

Thank you all for sharing your collections with us.

How did you find 3 jades? It took me forever to find one.

 

[Ledean]

Sweet collection.

I agree with you- impossible to find color. You found jade before I did. I had the flamed ones originally from : www.flamebrainz.com

Than one day I got lucky and snagged one on b/s/t

 

[Jeritall]

Good job Sizzlechest. I"m glad to see that the Geenled isn't just a myth. There's also an unknurled Lime Green out there for you to find.

 

[greenLED]

:kewlpics: Thanks for sharing, Sizzle!

I"m glad to see that the Geenled isn't just a myth.

It's labeled as "Kelly green" in will's Soli collection. Sizzlechest very kindly hunted down one of those "greenLED" minimags for me. Other than those two, I haven't seen others like it.

Funny, I got my jade minimag at Walmart. I was just starting the collection back when. There were a couple of them on the rack, but I just got one. I've never seen them again, anywhere.

I got my Holy Grail today from the ebay seller, and it's a peach. Like pretty much everyone else who has one, I can't believe how heavy it is! Does anyone know the year(s) they were produced? It's really a very special piece that I have spent a good amount of time searching for. I am quite pleased to finally own one.

I am ordering my new camera tomorrow (Canon SD800), so pics of my AA, AAA and Soli collections soon to follow, as promised! Hopefully this camera will do better with closeups than the one I have now.

Now my new Holy Grail is the 1989 inaugural 2xAAA. I've never even seen a picture of it! In fact, other than Mag's website, and CPF quoting of Mag's website, I can't find any reference to it online, even in text. But I guess that's for another thread....

One other question -- does anyone know if the (now unavailable in AA) Swiss Nachtblau is the same or a different color than the generally available midnight blue? Is the Nachtblau AA an Ontario bezel or a California bezel? Many thanks!

what is this light? was it produced by Maglite?

Those inagural minimags pop up on eBay now and then.
