Most impressed with those new Majorette's, love the Dacia, CRZ, Megane trophy, and that Citroen WRC is Awesome... it's frustrating though, as i haven't seen Majorette over here in ages, though i'm pretty sure either Toys-R-Us or Tesco actually do them as rebranded store makes (Realtoy or Fastlane... forget which 1).
I remember years ago (back in the mid to late 80's) when Majorette was readily available in my country, every time when i used to get them from my local newsagents/corner store.. i also used to get given a small Gratis pack of street accessories for free (hence gratis) with the purchase of a car... which i thought was pretty cool, the packs usually consisted of several bits of curbed pavement (sidewalk) that you'd snap together.. along with traffic lights, street signs, bus shelters etc,etc.
Another thing i remembered the other day whilst reminiscing, was a family holiday to Malta (Mediterranean), must have been 5yrs old at the time (was in 1980), anyway i vaguely remember burying (and losing) my Corgi Dan Tanner Ford Thunderbird and Corgi Starsky & Hutch Torino in the sand... remember getting quite upset that i'd lost them (probably crying and s**t.. haha!), so my father found a toy shop (in an effort to try and replace the cars i'd lost), but there was no Corgi there (in that particular shop) ... just wall to wall Polistil in many different scales, i remember getting about 5 Polistil (1/64's) but don't really remember what they were (think possibly Fiat's, Lancia's etc)... anyway, as i'm sure you all know, i no-longer have my early collection, but i feel like making it a mission to list all the cars i remember, and try my hardest to restore the collection... now all i need is, lots of money... and possibly, a time machine
My inner BMW fan is in a state of such DO WANTness right now.

heeee!
