N°230B Toyota Celica GT Racing 1970

N°253A Citroën 2CV (I have a soft spot for the 2CV)

**Grifo74** · 11-08-2021, 01:53 PM

N°243A Volkswagen Transporter T1 Food Truck (closed it looks a bit strange,..)
It is surprizing, that MJ makes three different castings of the T1 (Bus, Van, Food Truck) , but all are numbered N°243A

and just for fun

Nice ones. Really liking the Celica!

Anything Majorette is so hard to find here. The last time I saw them in the US was at Toys R Us before they closed up shop. Those are nice models!

I have seen some Majorettes recently at both Hobby Lobby, Meijer, and a couple things also at Target. They are being distributed in the US by Jada toys. Certainly not a wide variety- but it's a start.

I have seen the few Jada models at Hobby Lobby, but that’s it. I will have to keep an eye out at Target; I didn’t know they were selling them. Thanks for the info!

I took your advice and hit up a Target hoping to see if they had any Majorette. Low and behold, they had recently stocked pegs with Greenlight, Majorette, Johnny Lightning, and Muscle Machines! I haven't seen a Target have this much selection for more than a decade. Unfortunately, I was kind of late, but was very happy to finally score this Porsche 911 S Surf Carrier; I've been wanting one since seeing it in pics. I absolutely love the color combo.

On a side note; I can't believe how expensive Johnny Lightning has become... I remember when they were $2.99...

These are neat models Grifo, I even like the metal boxes.

I had also been noticing in recent months that my area Walmarts has been occasionally stocking the VW Punch Buggy series from Majorette, though I don't think they last on the pegs but a few days when they do put some out.

I'd like to see that VW food truck in a store, but that's unlikely to happen here any more (HL may carry some random models, but I'm boycotting HL for personal reasons). I doubt a store that carries random scattered brands and models with no dedicated 'brand' sections is a reliable source for any collector. Hit or miss, that's the HL story in my experience.

I found the Punch Buggy series at Walmart...and brought home a T2 with surfboard on top, and one of the VW "bugs". Nothing else from the series so far appeals to me, but I do like "surfer themed" models, having grown up on the west coast just a mile from the beach.
