Hasbro Teaming Up With Wicked Cool Toys To Bring Back MicroMachines
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?
You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie Banks
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.
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".
