Lamley Awards 2020: The brilliant Porsche 911 Carrera S from Majorette

Easily one of the diecast highlights of 2020 for me was Majorette going all in on its Porsche 911 Carrera S. From the quality of the casting to the creativity of its accessories, these 6 models were one of the ultimate must-haves of the year. Let's have a look.

[@christiannakamura1187]

There’s even detail on the inside of the doors. These models are amazing.

[@hellisio]

Bought these the moment they were available in my country. Best Majorette set of the year for sure, in a year that saw them release a number of must have models (Kia Stinger, Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3, AMG GTR, to name just a few). If they keep it up in 2021, and i am sure they will, it is going to be a hell of a year for us collectors.

Very cool cars, awesome Majorette very cool castings awesome great job cheers KC Tasmania Australia All the best for 2021 Rgds KC Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺👍😎👊✌🇦🇺

Going to hobby lobby today on my way home from work. Love these last 2 cars.

[@johnnyletsplay]

Wow beautiful video,.. Nice to see you back from your roots,.. this is what makes you great!

[@rodneyhoneyman1467]

Love em. I also like how you surprise us, I think think you are almost done then you show yet another model !! My happy meter just keeps rising. :)

[@Rattles02]

I was strolling through the toy section of a local department store with my boy about 5 years ago. I spotted a beautiful Hot Wheels GT3 on the pegs. I had a flashback to when I was a kid and remembered my Super Chrome 911. In the cart the GT3 went. Now I think I have about =80 Hot Wheels Porsche castings. These are pretty darn good. I think I may be hitting up some Euro-connections now!

[@carguyhyde9419]

All th p se models are absolutly awsome they went from weirdness to awsomeness

[@mattchu4272]

Where do you buy them

[@shitleshyadav6162]

Gonna take my first majorette now, thanks.

[@bravo7373]

The 911 Carrera S is my favourite mainline casting from any manufacturer this year. Really satisfied I managed to find the complete set and I'm looking forward to new recolour variations next year. Cheers

[@JaviAbarth]

That black 992 is fantastic. The red stripes are OEM, making it even cooler. I keep dreaming about a 992 and every time I configure one on Porsche's website I end up with that black/red combo. Regarding Majorette's US distribution, Simba-Dickie, owners of Majorette and many other major brands (Tamiya, Schuco, etc), bought Jada Toys last year. It's possible that one reason for the purchase was to introduce or expand their current brands to the American market. The Majorette models I've seen at Hobby Lobby are just rebranded Jada models, usually 1/64 VW's for some reason, but it's a good start and a good sign that introducing Majorette to the US is part of their plan.

[@shitleshyadav6162]

Completely agreed!

[@FREEDOOOOM]

Yup, Majorette have improved a lot. Love the premium Porsches! I got the Black Edition pack for Christmas. Very beautiful, too.

[@vijaygrewal4979]

Where did you buy it from?

[@garrykellogg3215]

I'd like to add all of their castings into my collection.

[@drifterdragon]

I agree, great detailed castings. Some improvements needed on wheels

[@diecasttvchannel]

I am really liking what Majorette are doing with their premium and racing cars. The newly released Nissan Cefiro A31 is absolutely brilliant. I have bought all 7 colour / wheel variations so far. I am looking forward to more fantastic castings from Majorette in 2021 =)

[@julianwhite7639]

Great video. I’m glad you like those so much; maybe now you can pass that Ferrari collection down to me.

[@engineerak2918]

I’ve got black one and its fantastic !

[@Tonyair23]

[@rorymcdonald8628]

Actually found the blue one with surf board last week at HL!

[@superrad1659]

Majorette has some pretty cool stuff out there, im glad were starting to see them here! (REALLY wanna find that WRC set!) Biggest complaints for Majorette are Wheels - seems they got the memo and are working on it lol Durability - the few i have chip paint pretty easily, and sometimes the decals/tampos have an obvoius and undesired dot-matrix look. But hey, theyre not +$20 models either.

[@gotwheels4465]

Liked these Porsches from the first time I saw em but I do think the headlights are too large. Oh and watch the tail lights when you buy these, on mine they are painted to high.

[@rodneyhoneyman1467]

Schuco has the best lights of any car I've purchased, especially the spyder.

[@jeffcopoloff8716]

I totally agree . Majorette is certainly stepping up its game ... it’s gradually getting away from the “ Toyish “ look , and moving into a displayable collectible.... also , with the New Year approaching, can all you Diecast Leaders , make an effort to get away from the term 1/64 Scale ( which you used in this video ) and instead , simply use the term Small -Scale Diecast ... it is a more encompassing, and accurate way to describe All the Diecast models , smaller than 1/43 scale .... those beautiful Majorette Porsche models are actually 1/57 scale ... just a thought ... Happy New Year John , and all the best .

[@marcbaur677]

In Europe we used the term '3inch', Majorette allways were bigger than 1:64, like Siku and all other european Brands, Matchbox only was smaller in their early years.

[@xspeeder09]

@@marcbaur677 all nice brands do in 1/64 and the stupid Majorette do 1/55 1/52 1/60 !!! this is not a cars to collect this is a stupid scale . i heat that Majorette brand . in the other side Norev now do a real 1/64 and nicely detailed .

[@marcbaur677]

@@xspeeder09 than buy your nice brands. Majorette is not for collectors, they are Toycars for kids. And why should we change our favorite scales for some non-european collectors? If you want european 1:64 scale, buy Schuco Edition 64. Edit: not all 3inch Norev's are scale 1:64!

[@xspeeder09]

​@@marcbaur677 do you know that majorette hase made in the past a real 1/64 cars. the name is majorette 1/64 Loyal Bright .

[@marcbaur677]

@@xspeeder09 so what? Maybe there's a reason that they did it in the past forca fewe Modells and not today anymore. And Schuco had a big range of 1:66 Toycars in the past. Should they switch back from 1:64 to 1:66 cause they did it in the past? Majorette said in Instagram that their scale is between 1:60 - 1:55 and they dont wantvto change it. And is Hotwheels absolutly and allways scale 1:64 or Matchbox? So if you want only true 1:64, than buy these brands who are true 1:64 and dont buy the other brands, its your choice. Are you one of these people who think "I only want scale 1:64, so all Brands have to make only 1:64 Toycars, no matter what other People want. What i want is the law."

[@clemenspfefferkorn4530]

What? The Vaillant 934 looks amazing!

[@kylesoler4139]

A deluxe plus line with prototypical wheels and painted interior detail would be amazing, yes they might be a bit closer to mini gt pricing by then but I think people would accept them when they have opening parts and suspension.

[@myrongarcia3295]

One thing i like about majorette its cheap in the philippines even the premium i like those opening doors hood...dont have much to modify u just replace the wheels with deep dish rider wheels or stance your done

[@binzhao7445]

Anyone cares to briefly introduce the brand Majorette? How detailed and accurate are their cars? How is the quality? Are they accurately 1"64 scale?

[@darkside_r21]

Best value for money 1/64 out there... By far..

[@boerharms2209]

castings are nice and realistic, Scale is not accurate, like most brands. overall quality is ok Paint sucks, chips super easily. They are nice and cheap though

[@peroperic3692]

I got the blue one, and a colour-changer one from another majorette series. The blue one looks so much better and more detailed.

[@TubeDeviant]

I miss Majorette..!! You need to ask them to bring back Majokit..

[@andresgarcia7757]

They must have someone that is really good at making the models because their cars are very accurate to the real cars, my only problem with them is they are not 1/64, the paint chips easy, and the wheels. I do love the spring suspension and plastic headlights.

[@vamosaltemacongabrielmende3965]

Those Majorette are great but here in Florida are basically in existent.

[@guilhermesampaio9162]

I really, really don't get all the criticism about the wheels. Nit-picking... For context, HW in France costs usually 2€ to 3€; Majorette with plenty more detail goes from 2€ to 3€ (basics), and from to 3€ to 5€ for all the various racing and premium versions (like the awesome Vaillant 934).

[@seminoleman622]

Hi mom

[@xspeeder09]

Please tell thems to do all cars in real 1/64 !!!! PLEASE !

[@mr.blablabla6839]

Majorette cars have always been larger like with other european brands like Siku or Norev. Around 1/55 is the tradition there

[@carlosoliveira-rc2xt]

@@mr.blablabla6839 The castings vary in scale depending on size of vehicle instead of a consistent scale. I've got some that are 1:57 and others 1:62 etc.

[@mr.blablabla6839]

@@carlosoliveira-rc2xt Indeed, but in that case you could say the same about brands like HW or Matchbox. Majorette, like other european diecast brands tend to be bigger than Mattel ones at an average of around 1/55~

Sometimes your enthusiasm is so heavy handed that it just screams manufactured. I would guess you'll be listing these for sale from your collection in about twelve months.

Majorette is better than Matchbox

The Hot Wheels 934 5 in the Black Box 100% sets are way better.

[@carlosojeda1956]

I have to agree with you about the wheels. They look really cheesy.

Not a fan of opening parts on a 1/64 scale level. It ruins the proportions and realism of the car with huge gaps and hinges

[@modelbaumok9210]

Those models are not good. Main problem is hughe oversized, second, bad looking wheels. Main problem is with tampo on door, this one middle front and second doors. Always painted on roof too. Check toyota from majorette. If somoeone want majorette, avoid main line! Only premium cars worth price.

[@rielabapo1424]

[@anthonys4159]

I'm sorry, but I just don't like Majorette. Every time I've seen them in person and held them, they just feel like a toy and kind of junky... and they are larger than most 1/64 cars. They just don't look right to me. And those Porsche headlights look horrible.

[@carlosoliveira-rc2xt]

Hot Wheels wheels mostly suck worse than Majorette.

[@freedomone776]

The wheels are fine. You people always over analyze everything! The way Majorette does their wheels identifies their brand and makes it unique to their brand. Get a life.
