No trip into 1978 can be without a visit to the The Interchangable world of the Micronauts!.

I loved my 72 piece Battle Cruiser

Oddly, I never had these as a kid, other than a couple stray Time Travellers (my best friend at the time had a bunch though). Still, I remember poring over catalogue pages just like this one, thinking how cool looking they all were. I remember asking for a Biotron for my birthday (circa 1977) but I got a 24" Shogun Warriors Mazinga instead. I didn't complain, I thought it was a good trade up! By the time 1978 rolled around, I only had eyes for Star Wars toys, so the Micronauts never really had a fair chance with me. I really wouldn't mind starting to collect them now though.

That's a very attractive layout. Great visuals, I love that black and red background.

That is a nice layout. It would look good even today. I never had any Micronauts. I was only 3 in 1978, so my parents probably thought they were too tiny for me.

Why is it that now every time I read "Micronauts" I hear the voice of Colonel Gentleman from the Venture Bros.?

Wait a minute! I thought 1978 was all about Superheroes?
