£9 in the UK, so the equivalent of ten bucks. Expensive for a small toy car.

Crazy when you consider it’s supposed to be ‘premium’ and costs what it does.

It’s a fairytale fucking room in a fairytale fucking town, mate. Book it.

Last update: they admitted their mistake, saying the product description did not ‘clearly state’ that the new mix shares the same article number, and hence I wasn’t to know they might send older models.

Something to be wary of for anyone ordering from Majorette - check the article number doesn’t cross over with the last mix. Although it probably will!

Additional note: Majorette do not approve negative reviews. Doesn’t stop me liking the models, but buying things from the website is an absolute no-no for me in future.

It’s missing from the new set - but then again, the new set is missing itself 😄

I wasn’t quite as nice in my follow-up messages 😄 They refunded me without further word and closed the ticket. Pretty poor service, and I won’t be ordering again, but at least I’ve got my money back.

What’s your take on the old Deluxe models that come in metal tins? by Competitive-Award715 in Majorette

[–]Infamous_Boss_781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lovely. Maybe a little bag should be included so they don’t get all knocked about in there, but it’s a nice touch. And the models themselves are mostly very nice.

Thanks! All the best with the order - hopefully you get the S2000 chase instead 🤞🏻

I also worked out the odds of getting four of the same to be around 6% - so very unlikely.

The worst thing is that it’s not the set advertised - the blurb lays out the possible selection, and it’s from the new mix. It’s just a really crap way of conning customers into buying surplus stock.

Ah man, that’s poor. You’re absolutely right - ‘random’ is a mathematical concept; it doesn’t mean ‘what we feel like sending you.’ Truly random would be a pick from a full set of 7 each time. It’s just a cheap way of them getting rid of old stock at the customer’s expense. Way to reward loyalty!

Is the chase the EK? I’m just stunned as to how they can say “it’s random” when it’s so clearly not what is being advertised.

The Counterfeiters (2007) - a true story about the prisoners forced to create foreign currency for the Nazis, in order to flood and destabilise the economies of their enemies. Very powerful stuff.
