Majorette Tune-Ups Wave 3: Are they worth to buy?

"All good things are three?"

This spring Majorette goes into the third round with the Majorette Tuneups. But what is this series actually? As the name suggests, the Tune Up's are not just the usual Majorette vehicles with an original licence, but come with a pimped out look! Just like in the days of Fast and Furious in the 2000s and the Need For Speed Underground series, the focus is on cars and tuning.

While the first wave was still visually quite good, wave two offered a great spectrum of licensed vehicles with some really ingenious add-on parts. Many of the add-on parts had a chrome look, so the vehicles cut a great figure, especially when pimped out! So May is all about the third wave of Tune'Ups, which are otherwise only available from Majorette in this form!

The Majorette TuneUps from wave two were extremely colourful, like the Toyota Hiace in Chrome Look.

What is so special about the Tune'Ups?

The tuning and collecting theme is not only interesting for children but also for their parents with petrol in their blood. There are countless tuning and add-on parts to plug in and assemble: Wider rubber tyres, spoilers, underbodies, body kits.

Especially the body kits for chassis widening were our absolute favourites in terms of add-on parts.

There are also a lot of things to plug in on the roofs, such as roof luggage, canoes, motorbikes or spare wheels. Depending on the vehicle, things can also be combined with each other as long as they fir with similar parts. Logically, depending on the vehicle, the add-on parts of the previous models can also be attached

What is there to discover?

In each box, 7 surprises are guaranteed, which was already the case in the previous waves. Once again, there are 18 vehicles to collect hidden in the box. Similar to the Hot Wheels Mystery Series, we don't know which vehicle is in the box. However, we have the decisive advantage here that we will only find real models (no fantasy vehicles). Duplicate models can certainly be exchanged with one or the other collector! Especially fans of Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, Dodge, Volvo, Toyota, Ford, Audi and Renault will get their money's worth!

The packaging design with the 8 corners is and remains the trademark of the TuneUps series!

As before, the models are divided into categories, namely cool, rare, super rare and ultra rare. Cars with "cool" are more common,"rare" have special matte and metallic paint jobs, "super rare" have shiny neon parts and the rarest car is marked as "Ultra Rare." One in forty cars is a Nissan Z with a flashy glittery neon body kit.

What are the seven surprises?

Firstly, of course, there is the metal car itself, but there is on the other hand also the respective add-on part for the vehicle. The third element is the accessory, which is either attached to the roof or the wheels. A sticker sheet must not be missing either and gives the model its very own individual look. Each box also contains a flyer. On the back, it shows all 18 vehicles with their names, models and attributes.

As simple as that: From a mighty sports car to a tuner in just a few steps.

These are decisive for the collection chip. The scheme is reminiscent of car games, where the higher number of vehicles wins. The chip encourages competition among each other, which is sure to please collectors and children's hearts. The seventh element is the collection box. It is stackable and at the same time an extremely practical storage box for Majorette models. The collection chip can be placed next to it or attached directly to the box. Compared to the previous waves, the boxes now come in blue.

Are the Tune'Ups a must have?

Of course the realistic and licensed models are the perfect gift for young as well as older car fans while the unboxing and tuning experience provides extra varied fun and reminds us of the good old days of Need For Speed and co. The 7.5 cm long cars (scale 1:64) with metal body have freewheel, suspension, interior, partially opening parts and become real eye-catchers with the tuning accessories. The 18 models are very successful and with the Nissan Z we finally have a rare model that is worth hunting. Though the Ford Bronco from wave 2 was a great model, without a doubt! But this car takes it to the next level!
