    I just bought a bunch of these including playsets for my toddler and he LOVES them! They were fun when I was a kid, they are a total blast even today. I think what is so captivating is the amount of playability and detail that went into the original release. I'm disappointed with the recent Micro Machines Star Wars stuff because the play features are so limited. Back then, they had the right idea. Thanks for the review!

  • @tofuboyofakina2501
    @tofuboyofakina2501 7 років тому

    I had about 13 of those pocket sets along with the super city tool box, the large car wash, carrying case for my cars and several other Micro Machine toys. I gave them to my son when he was 6 and he lost them all. Damn I wish I kept them. After watching this video I want to play with them. lol I do still have my deluxe Ferrari and my bat mobile.. I think I have 1 or 2 of the ones that light up.

    @DrewDracoSune 13 років тому

    Oh my god! Micro Machines?! I loved the toys so much! I wouldnt play with anything else short of Micromachines! They were perfect in size, and offered a variety more exclusive amount of space for you to fool around with compared to the bigger cars and such!
    As a matter of fact I still got bags of micro machines left from my childhood that ranges from space fighters and tanks, to modernized planes and even WW2 fighters. They cant make good toys like that anymore!

  • @catholiccontriversy
    @catholiccontriversy 13 років тому

    I remember Micromachines from when I was a kid. I'm a child of the 90's and tend to be more of a milenial. They weren't increadibly popular from my time, but I sure enjoyed them. I had a city thing that wasn't quite like that but it was still fun. I also had a carying case parking garage. So cool.

    I had some of those licensed ones from the 90's.
    Namely, the Power Ranger ones. I had the Red Ranger set, and still have one of the pieces (the regular, unmorphed Jason) today.
    The regular releases were a bit before my time, but that GTO, Porsche 356 and Mercedes 500SL you got there are pretty cool.

    You should do this instead of the Irate Gamer videos.
    Seriously, I loved it!
    I'm still a Micro Machines fan, and man, you don't see toys as beautiful as them these days...
    That said, I was part of the 'second wave' (90's).
    I still have my Gas can, police station, dirt race, F1 track, Nascar track, Expo/Workshop and that good ol' monster truck, FUCK YEAH! I even have the competitors, Planet Micro City!
    I wish I could go back in time and buy more...
    That, and LEGOs.
