Majorette Audi A1 & VW Golf VII GT1


Majorette Racing Series 1 Audi A1 & VW Golf VII GT1 (2017)
Check out the video:


I'm new to Majorette as an adult collector, the brand purportedly not available at US retail since the '90s. Like Tomica, the opening doors attracted me to them, but I can appreciate the deco on many of these cars, particularly the Racing Series models. These particular castings also feature wheel suspension, identifiable by the two open slots on the base. These appear to be slightly larger in scale than Hot Wheels and Matchbox. Recommended!

Maisto All-Stars 1:24 Scale Volkswagen Golf R32


This is my first 1:24 scale die cast vehicle, chosen for it's dynamic racing graphics and color- yellow isn't typically my first choice, but the presentation on this is great! This is also my first Maisto, and I'm very impressed- the doors, hood and hatchback open and close nicely to reveal a very detailed interior. The wheels are fit with rubber tires, and roll smoothly. Check out the video:


For size comparison, the Maisto Golf is pictured below with the 1:64 scale Hot Wheels Volkswagen Golf that came out during the holidays in 2014, obviously more retro in it's styling- the modern Golf looks more like a Honda, which I also like...


The detail on this Maisto All-Stars Volkswagen Golf is just wonderful, right down to the mirror decals... just wow! I'd contemplated getting some larger scale die cast, and this one certainly got me more interested...

HW 2014 Holiday Volkswagen Golf & Honda Civic


Happy Holidays! I didn't find the Draggin' Wagon I was looking for in the Hot Wheels Holiday Hot Rods series this year, but I did get the Volkswagen Golf and Honda Civic! I'm a fan of compact/subcompact castings, and am particularly fond of this retro Golf model- check out my video:
