Cool - I still have one of those on my shelves...of course it may have been "stolen" from my son as he was the big Micro Machine guy in our house years ago. Then again it may have been one I did pick up simply because it was a Corvair - I know I did that for the Edsel wagon. And given their small size - the Micro Machines had a fair amount of detail to them and offered some cars no one else had at that time. |

I must admit, despite being tiny (1:100s) and sometimes a bit chubby, Micro Machines are excellently detailed. Had a few Micro Machines and competitors (HW Atomix, Kid Connection, Speedeez, to name a few), I've recently started collecting them again, after buying an opened (but models were still attached to the cardboard plinths) Porsche set from a member here a while back and a set I bought for a buck (even though it still had the $5 Kmart price tag from the '90s) Hasbro Micro Machines Dale Earnhart set at a flea market. I try to look out for these tiny little masterpieces in flea market bins. Problem is, buying a specific casting can be pricey. Everyone wants $20 or more for the Deluxe series American LaFrance Ladder Chief. I like this little Corvair--will be one I'll try to find. Edited by cody6268, Apr 1 2016, 01:48 PM.
