andrew e Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 So here’s one box of my majorettes, there’s another loose box (with my pick ups) but it’s eluding me at present! Most of these were childhood bribes from Pitsea market 😁 bunglebus, 155V6, AndyW201 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew e Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Some of my boxed majorettes - which while pristine are un-displayable. God knows how I got into the packets as a kid 😂 Later packaging above, early packaging below, spot the brass axles!

sierraman Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Had loads of Majorette as a kid, used to pick them up on frequent trips to France where they’d be only a few francs when the exchange rate was favourable. My liking of them was off the back of their models usually bring base spec cars you’d find in the street. The Sierra was a distinct high point, the proportions were spot on. Plus they were tough as old boots, they survive much sandpit or garden path action. At our infant school we were lucky enough to have an actual concrete car track moulded into the banking. andrew e 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amishtat Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 It's only taken a week, but now some of the festive dust has settled I've had the chance to have a closer look at the ex-Eddyramrod Dodge Dart Phoenix which has been hidden on a shelf in the back hall since last Wednesday. Another little gap in the Forward Look line up filled. Datsuncog, bunglebus, AndyW201 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justwatching Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 1978 Dodge Monaco in 1:64 scale by Greenlight. Ever the sucker for an old NYPD livery. The bonnet looks like it opens, but I've not managed it yet. Interesting* fact - the car number is only one different from the Monaco that appears in Ghostbusters.

Jon Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Had a spare moment yesterday, so decided to tit about with some toy cars, whilst home alone. This RR Classic is OK, though based on one of those funny later 3 dr models with the horizontal slat grille, which mainland Europe got and the UK missed out on, for some reason. As both man and child, I don't/didn't really care for models of racing cars by and large, so this is ripe for a respray in a more boring, civvie colour. Would lose the rear badge but no biggie (I'll probably never get round to it anyway). Mrs_Jon got a new yoga mat for Christmas, so another platform to test out: Works on far away things, too: This Unimog is quite a nice thing and very reminiscent of my Tamiya motorised version, which was a favourite plaything back in the day. Nabbed it recently for a about £4 delivered. Came with a little trailer too, with a long goose neck to reach the tow bar. Only, it's broken and the hitch is still attached to the 'Mog. Another job on the 'never get round to' list. Then I got incredibly artwank and snapped off loads of silly photos of these silly small Hondas: An excellent and cost-effective waste of time, I'm sure you'll agree. It also seems that the turquoise little champ is actually quite accurate, as per this example I spotted back in January: RoadworkUK, Remspoor, eddyramrod and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Took a trawl through Tesco last night... Seems that the Mini Cargo Trucks aren't in desperately high demand. Not much else from the MB stable really, though the semi-premium UK Collection has made a reappearance in Carrickfergus: Yellow Lotus Europa and TX4 Taxi were lurking behind these on the pegs. But stay! The Hot Wheels tub was turgid with fresh diecast... ...and virtually undisturbed at the lower level. Ohhhh... So, there were these... Which I bought, because I'm a weak-willed dandiprat. So, once I'd gone and found the Special K I'd originally gone in for (Kellogg's, you naughty people), and reality kicked in, I now have two Sierras and an AE86 looking rehomed, at cost price plus postage.

Tenmil Socket Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 My dad bought me this Escort years ago from a car boot for 50p but didn’t realise it had a wheel missing! Therefore a Citroen donated a wheel 😆 It’s quite a nice model but the rear bumper and whale tail have faded in the sun. I’m quite impressed with the interior detail.
