    Micromachines are coming back

    Wicked Cool Toys are teaming up with Hasbro to bring back MicroMachines.

    Nice to see another beloved 80s toy line make a comeback.

    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    I worked at TRU when these were the rage at XMas, what a nightmare answering the phones and keeping them on the shelves. Vultures hovered about when we put them out. There was a doll that was madness at the time too. Baby Alive maybe?

      After looking at photos, on Google, it jogs my memory to them. I recall the line by it’s name, but don’t remember the vehicles specifically.

          I was out of my (first) toy phase by the time these came out, but I hadn't stopped watching TV. I remember the fast-talking Micro Machine Man from the ad campaign.

          WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.

            These hit right as my friends and I stopped buying toys (or at least playing with them, in my case), but surprisingly, there was a brief moment in Middle School when these became "hot" and folks were buying and trading them, as "collectors".

              Loved the Micromachines Star Trek line

              It's like they remade the Fasa ships in plastic and even painted them for you

              Would love to see a Micromachines Orville
