I loved them as a kid but it got old when the company relied entirely on microtransactions for profits.

This was easily one of my top 3 toys when I was a little kid. I had so many micro machines. I'd be willing to bet they're still in my parents' or grandparents' attic.

Those were some of my favorite toys as a kid, especially the military ones. Do they even make them anymore? I have a box full of them that my kids used to play with occasionally but I haven't seen them in stores in a long time. Oddly enough the hot wheels cars are still around but those suck compared to Micro Machines.


I used to have almost all of the military ones when I was a kid... my four year old plays with them now, and it’s crazy because the ones that he calls his ‘favorites’ were also my favorites when I was a kid

Once people realized no one could actually speak that fast and that Micro Machines had sped up their commercials, they started to go under.

I have a ton of them from my childhood with several of the “Pocket Playsets”.

Also have an off brand aircraft carrier that had rubber and powered launchers on the deck to sling the planes off.
