Law and order Dubai style with the Majorette Dubai Police series
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 …

Lamley Awards 2020: Majorette’s incredible group of Porsche 911 Carrera S models
The best of Majorette incapsulated in one model.
A winter drive with two Alpine equipped Porsches.
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 …

Dirt don’t slow you down – Schuco Porsche 911 Turbo Magnus Walker
A renowned European diecast maker with fantastic models, and one of the modern kings of automotive cool and one of his equally killer creations. Collaborations don't get much cooler than this.

Majorette, and my motivation at Lamley.

Lamley Studio: Matchbox Porsche 550 Spyder
Matchbox has needed to do another classic Porsche. Boy did they ever.
Speedy souvenirs: Mercury Speedy Porsche Carrera and Ferrari 250LM
If you've read my previous posts you'll know I like to travel and when I do go abroad I try to bring home diecast each time. The more obscure the better, and these cars are one of my favourite finds.
Hard Body by Tootsietoy – toy cars with full features
July 5, 2020 - by Doug Breithaupt When someone mentions Tootsietoy, most of us picture simple one-piece toy cars with basic wheels. In a previous story, I reviewed these basic cars beginning with the first small-scale die-cast car made by Tootsietoy in 1911. With the introduction of the Hard Body brand name in the late …

Remove the cool factor of RWB, and the Hot Wheels RLC Porsche 930 is still an extraordinary model.
The brand new Hot Wheels RLC Porsche reflects RWB just as much as it replicates it.

The Gems of Original Boulevard: Hot Wheels Porsche 993 GT2
I should call this series “The Gems of Boulevard not called Datsun 510 Wagon”. Lamley and the debut of Jun Imai’s signature car have been intertwined for years, and I have probably written more about it than any other model. But Boulevard is much more than the 510. It is one of the most interesting …

Looking for a way to collect Tarmac Works? Maybe start with the RWB Porsches.
(Tarmac Works RWB on ebay) Right out of the gate I am not saying you should just collect the RWB Porsches from Tarmac Works. I am just saying it is a good place to start. Because you won’t finish there. I have been touting Tarmac for awhile now. They have steadily grown each year and …

RESTORED. REIMAGINED. REBORN. MEET THE CRAZY SINGER PORSCHE BY TIMOTHY & PIERRE
This is sick. Crazy. Unbelievable. Astonishing. Enormous. Where to start ? I'm so excited to write about it! Imagine the situation, we have an almost unknown manufacturer with that strange name called Timothy & Pierre (mostly known for their Gemballa Enzo MIG-U1 in 1/18 scale), popping up from nowhere with Singer Porsche models. If that …

The surprisingly spectacular Hot Wheels Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo
Before we dive in, let me clarify that title. This is obviously a feature on the new Hot Wheels Panamera, and we are lucky to have a few thoughts from the Hot Wheels Designer who spearheaded this one, but why is it surprising? Lots of reasons. First, the actual car is surprisingly cool. I’ll say …
A Tale of Two: Hot Wheels Silhouettes RWB Porsche 930 & RLC Magnus Walker 964
Let's call this Part 1. Let's also mention that this is not a "vs." post. Comparisons are obvious - these are both premium Porsches - but these two are just awesome together. Plus, I may have already done the "vs" thing on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BwJadU5h_9X/ Back to this being Part 1. Part 2, whenever it happens, …
