I'll give Star Wars: The Force Awakens one thing, it has somehow managed to resurrect Micro Machines.

I mean really, last time I saw MMs was back in something like 2003

Well I haven't actually bought any, however from the packaging I can tell they're using the original molds for some of the original trilogy stuff and I'm pretty sure they did a repaint for one of the new Force Awakens characters.

Honestly, my hope is that this might, *might* get Hasbro to revive the MM line. Then again seeing how they handled it when they bought it off Galoob that's probably not worth seeing. Hope springs eternal though and all that...

Anyway, anyone else still have their collection?

Ah, 4chan and ignorance, it's amazing how strong people can make statements based on nothing. This is why you fail at this hobby.

The Micro Machines brand was always around, just it was not really in your face per say

When Hasbro started the Titaniums line for both Star Wars and Transformers, if you looked on the back of the packaging for both it had the Micro Machines and Galoob in fine print.

More or less the whole diecast/Titaniums subline by Hasbro was just a 2006-2010 Micro Machines push using the 2 brands.

Yeah, but those weren't actual Micro Machines. It was cool to see the name and logo in use, but they were much larger scale, while these new ones are a mix of new and recycled classic molds, doing mini playsets and figures.

Shame it's just Star Wars, I want my tanks and jets and cars and shit.

Well in my defence I was never much of a Star Wars fan so I didn't exactly follow it closely. I was really always more interested in the military vehicles range.

And as >>5276284 points out, it's not actually branded as Micro Machines so for all intents and purposes this new line of Star Wars Micros is a revival of the branding after a long absence.

Anyway, what was the best playset and why is it the Aircraft Carrier? (Honourable mention to Wolf Ridge and the fold-out M1)

I was excited for the return of MM as well, but these new designs are awful. Terrible, no imagination, no play value, bland looking sets with nothing going on in them. I could forgive the cheaping out on figures and vehicles included with the sets because you can always get more separately, but the sets are shit with or without figures.

The original line had sets that always featured some depth, multiple feature driven areas(2, 3, sometimes even more) whereas half the sets released so far are literally a sand floor with a ship on a stick. The most interesting set is probably the star destroyer like one with the tie fighters and flying x wing, and even then the old Tie Pilot head set did it far better with less space over a decade ago.

While the sets do suck the ships themselves are great. At first I thought they looked really shitty compared to the nice matte grey finish of the old ones, but comparing the new Y-Wing to my old one, it's no contest. Tons of fine detail.

There were few to zero choking cases.
What usually happens is that someone wants free money and tries to find something wrong with anything and sue over that.

Also, virtually all small toys are allowed to be small. It's why so many toys come with tiny accessories. See image. Lots of choking hazards here, but they're labeled as toys for ages 3+. That label is all they really need.

The fact that mini toys aren't as popular is just that... they're not popular. Micro Machines was a fad.

They are boring and come with just one spaceship and one figure.

I strongly recommend the 3 and 6 figure blisters, and even the blind bags before the playsets.

Also, all figures that come with the playsets can be obtained through the blisters.

Well, I sadly seem to have sold off the Pickup Truck and Liquid Nitrogen tanker but I do have Arnie and the meltyman (AKA the T-1000). Also pictured here are some Italian exclusive Carabinieri vehicles (did any other regions get exclusive stuff?) and the Aircraft Carrier.

Close up of the T-800 and the T-1000, their articulation is just leg and arm joints and the arms move together (hench why Arnie here is in such an awkward pose). Also time has been unfortunate to these two so they're very loose and need support to stand up (just like the real Arnold!)

Also, a Hot Wheels Scorpion Tank.

Looks pretty sweet m8. Never knew they did stuff outside of Wars, Trek, military and regular cars.

Pulled the trigger on an eBay lot that has a mostly complete carrier. Had a load of other crap in it so I reckon I got a good deal.

This is the image from the auction. Don't recognise the large plane or the base.

I can't say I recognise the plane or base either. Still, you've got some good figures there (IIRC Hasbro decided to outfit the factions as being GI Joe and Cobra towards the end of MM's life). You seem to be missing a launcher for the aircraft carrier. However you do still have the little aft turrets. How much did you get that for?

Yeah I vaguely remember picking one or two GI Joe styled tanks back in the day. Haven't got most of my stuff to hand, but I'll dig them out when I visit my folks. Got a load of bases, will be fun to see them again.

The auction was £25 shipped. Fucking steal desu

Getting all that Desert Storm stuff was one of my greatest thrift store finds. I used to have so many of the playsets but over time they got broken or thrown out, so many regrets but I still have all my vehicles and troops, plus the Orion submarine base, the double takes army base, the big Humvee and the searchlight tower from Night Attack somewhere heh.

When MM changed the Freedom Forces and Terror Troops to GI Joe and Cobra respectively I fell out with the line, the wacky paint schemes didn't appeal to me and I missed the TT skull emblems, among other things.

You're welcome, Micro Machines were some of the first things I ever collected. I stopped a while ago on account of >>5296309 but I must admit this thread is tempting me to the great car boot sale of eBay.

At any rate, after work I'll go back into the attic and get out my tanks and stuff.

I vaugely reminded of a toyline that had a bunch of transforming military vehicles in it, like a big crawler that turned into a big base with an extend tower, anyone know what I'm talking about(quick look around pretty much confirms it's not Micro Machines, plus from what I can remember they were a slightly larger scale overall)

Plastic minis often come with warped parts, one solution is to heat the warped area up with a hairdryer or hot water, bend it into shape and then quickly cool with cold water.

Of course I've yet to try this technique myself, I really should.

I honestly haven't the faintest idea. I lived there for about 3 years from 1997-2000 which was during the heyday of Micro Machines (imo).

I'm guessing the Italians really dug the idea, or they're into toy cars maybe? Heck, it could just be some Italian distributor got *really* excited during a trade fair and got Galoob/Hasbro to sign onto a regional exclusive.

It's just one of those things that makes me wish I could call up someone at Hasbro and ask them.
