#544 Majorette - Sonic Flashers (Series 2300) (Various Models) (1989 Together With 1990)

From 1989 Catalogue

I already wrote i entry well-nigh Sonic Flashers, but this entry is to a greater extent than ambitious too volition endeavour to explicate a piddling to a greater extent than well-nigh them.

This trouble was launched inwards 1989 too from the really kickoff it had corking sales. This success would after atomic number 82 to a diversification of the line, alongside novel too parallel lines, similar nation of war machine vehicles, planes... each serial had a dissimilar number. The "ordinary" Sonic Flashers were serial 2300, too each model had a reference issue 23XX. This entry volition last devoted solely to the criterion 2300 series.

The activity feature, of course, was that each automobile made a detail audio too around low-cal final result that could last activated when pushed down. On the within each automobile has a pocket-sized printed circuit board alongside a prison theatre cellphone battery. According to the advertisement, the battery was able to piece of occupation the characteristic over 1500 times. Most models were based on previously existing Majorette models, although around were modified, in all likelihood to allow plenty infinite on the interior for the circuit board. Majorette didn´t allow to alter batteries inwards the firstly models, although around others after models had screws instead of rivets.

2301 POLICE CAR (PORSCHE 928) ("POLIZEI" GERMAN VER.) too 2304 PACE CAR

As said before, the trouble was launched firstly inwards 1989 alongside solely three dissimilar casts too 8 references. Those firstly models were:

Since the trouble was becoming to a greater extent than too to a greater extent than popular, at that spot were besides gift packs available alongside several cars inside. Some sets could last genuinely big, around fifty-fifty mixing vehicles from the 2300 serial alongside planes or helicopters of other Sonic Flashers' series.

In 1991, in i lawsuit again novel models, novel decorations too novel sounds:
The Chevrolet Impala gets a novel ornament inwards bluish instead of black, too the Pace Car Porsche volition last released inwards yellowish instead of orange. More interesting is the rename of the BMW 750i to 535i, although I intend the bluish models all the same had "750i" tampographied on the doors.

• 6X6 S.W.A.T. alongside missile lauch sound
• Rocket Launcher alongside missile lauch sound
