Fast and Furious – 1327, Home of the Torettos FEATURETTE
Family Home! The house originally belonged to Jack Toretto, a stock car racer and the father of Dominic, Jakob and Mia. We learned the background story in the ninth part of this franchise. Visually, hardly anything has changed inside or out over the years, apart from bushes and trees that have been newly planted. Therefore, it was a must for us to add this iconic diorama to our collection! Assembly and painting took several hours, the end result speaks for itself! How it all Started: In the very first movide, after destroying Brian’s (Played by Paul Walker) 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) invited him to his home as…

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…
