This box was missing for almost two decades, but there it was still waiting for me at my parents' attic! Thought I share its contents. Micro Machines - I like especially the Japanese ones! ![]() A series of little cars about the same size than Micro Machines. They are pullback and they were in easter eggs in the middle of the 90's. Did you have them in the States? ![]() Unknown fire chief car, Unknown Celica (I have a Starlet of the same series too), Majorette Micro sonic Flasher ambulance and a train by Soma (manufacturer is printed on the bottom unlike their cars!)

I like that Celica the best. I don't think I've seen the Beetle in gray before. |

Those are all very cool! I collected the heck out of those Micros back when they came out. My favorite was the Presidential set that included Air Force One, Limo and little tiny secret service guys. |

Didn't get into micros much, but still ended up with a few. I like the gray Bug. I have the turquoise Tbird, at the time one of the few available...I only had my Hubley and some carded JLs. |

Our son was big into Micro Machines in their day - while buying them for him I did pick up a few sets (had to have that Edsel station wagon!). I am pretty sure most of his are packed away in his old room - he has told me I am welcome to go through those boxes and do what I want with them as he has no interest in them. So one of these days - another room to get to and do sorting and such. Know he had a bunch of the little buildings as well. |

I had two buildings - a parking garage and a car wash. I also had a large van that opened and formed a little city. I still have them but broken in parts. I try to find them.and restore what I can |

I used to have close to probably 300 of the Galoob Micro Machines and probably 20 different buildings. The cars themselves were sold to another member here. They were in my opinion expensive back in the day. My folks used to balk at paying $4.96 for 5 tiny cars. |

If I remember right, in the mid-90's the 5-pack was 40 Finnish Marks here which is around $8. With that price you could get four individual MBX or Majorette or 3 Sikus. |
