About once a year collectors here in the UK rush to TK Maxx stores. Not for the bargain fashion, the horror designer items or the crab shaped desk bells, but for Majorette. The stores somehow manage to snag stray stock a couple of times a year. 2020, despite Covid restrictions, was thankfully no different. The …

The best of Majorette incapsulated in one model.
Advanced warning: this article is photo heavy. Rather than harping on too much about my beloved Majorette and Schuco, I think these two are cool enough to let their looks do the talking. There's something very cool about fast cars with roof racks. And these two have tapped into that perfectly. This feature has been …

Not exactly a top ten new models or even a top ten new additions to my collection, but these are my highlights from 2020 in miniature....
These two have made it into my upcoming 2020 highlights post, and for good reason.
Two Top 10s with a heavy emphasis on race and rally cars!
I had eyed up three recent Majorette race and rally releases without ever expecting to see them in Calgary. But here they are!
Grab a coffee and enjoy a gentle meander through the history of the famous 2CV with some of the best Euro brands.
The newly issued Hot Wheels Lancia Rally 037 prompted me to pull some of my favourite small-scale rally Lancias together
No WRC? No problem....
An often overlooked casting gets some time in the spotlight.
Is there anything cooler than a Porsche with a roof rack? Not much. And these cars are defnitely some of the most awesome diecasts I've got my hands on this year.
Finally I have my hands on some of the fantastic metal from Majorette, and hopefully this will be the start of something great....
Join us for a rundown of all the issues so far of the Hot Wheels '12 Ford Fiesta, including some recollections from the casting's designer, Mark Jones
I've been looking forward to finally getting a Majorette into my writing. And what a place to start.
Enthusiasts rejoice! Hobby Japan's all-new Impreza WRX casting is a welcome addition to existing diecast Subarus from the likes of Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Majorette and Kyosho.
This Majorette casting is one of the best Subaru Imprezas around. It’s available in multiple street versions and a couple of different authentic rally paint schemes (with several different wheels) but it’s hard to beat the classic Subaru World Rally Team look
I am more than happy to be able to relate here the news shown in Toy Fair 2020. Toy Fair (called the Spielwarenmesse) is holding every year in Nuremberg, Germany and it is the biggest Toy Show of the world. And of course most of the manufacturers are present to show all news, future releases …

Model: Porsche 934 Line: Majorette Vintage Deluxe Where to get it: eBay has a few Why is it in the collection: This awesome 934 with Valliant livery is a must have in my Majorette Porsche collection.

Is there such a thing as overkill in the 1/64 world? Probably. Some might argue the JDM craze we have seen hit almost every brand is overkill. Not even close. Maybe some ELEMENTS of the JDM craze, but in general Japanese cars are just filling the gaps that have always been there. Earlier this century, …
So over the last few weeks, I started hearing from a few of you in Europe and Asia about one thing: "Have you seen the Majorette Red Bull VW Polo?" I get a lot of messages, and didn't give it much thought. Then I started hearing from some collectors here in the US: "Just found …

A few days ago Majorette started releasing images of its 2018 Catalog, and it gives us our first look at what is coming. And there is a lot to like. Of course there are still many details to learn, like when these will be released, and where. Majorette is at Toys R Us in the …
So this cool. I have been a fan of the Diecast TV Channel for several years now. Cobra, Eagle, and Falcon have been doing fantastic diecast-related videos from New Zealand for awhile. And thing is for certain, they share the passion for diecast that has invaded me and many of you. Recently Majorette's Australia office …
