I mainly collect the pocket sets, got the dump complete minus the cars for 10 bucks, the other bag was misc parts from several sets for 10, and the gas can for 15, just missing a blue door.

Buenas, está ha sido mi última adquisición, está bastante usado, pero me costó muy barato y este fue el primer diorama de micromachines que tuve cuando tenía unos 4 años. Tengo pensado irlo completando con la impresora 3d, lo peor las pegatinas, que la verdad están bastante dañadas, no se si habrá escaneos de ellas en algún sitio. Un saludo.

Help IDing Some Micro Machines

Thumbnail

49 Upvotes

Good morning! After three decades, I have finally gotten the Micro Machines out of the attic and am trying to make sense of them and reassemble some sets. I’m doing a pretty good job, but do have some mysteries that I could use some help with.

1) I am having trouble identifying which vehicles came with the Travel City sets. The packaging is misleading, there is a “vehicles may vary” disclaimer, and I’m having trouble finding unboxing videos. I know that some of the vehicles in the first photo are Travel City vehicles, because I have eleven (mostly complete) Travel City sets.

2) The vehicles along the front row in the first photo have been identified as belonging to sets, but they are only one or two of the five. (It’s possible that I lost three or four, but I was pretty good about not losing things.) I’m wondering if they were available elsewhere as accessories.

3) I’ve identified the group of three in the upper left of the first photo as Private Eyes #7.

4) I am unable to find the origin of the Carnation semi truck in the upper left of the first photo.

5) I’ve identified two of the three smaller boats in the first photo as coming from the same set, but I am unable to identify the blue “DERBY” boat.

6) I have a large set of slightly larger military vehicles — trucks, tanks, planes, ship, etc. — that I am unable to identify. I also have a large collection of army men in various uniforms and positions. My brother collected several *MILITARY* sets and I think that at least some of these items may have been accessories. (There are in the second, third, and fourth photos.)

The fifth photo is what I have already figured out. The sixth photo is where I started from.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I literally walked past it at first then the gas can caught my eye. I can't believe someone would throw these out. Excellent condition and vehicles with them.

Found this at the flea market for $3 bucks. Should I let my kids open it up to add to their car collection?

Sorry I was having a bit of fun with my first post to the group. I bought this pack several years ago on eBay. I sold it last night through my eBay store "The Micro Garage". I have tons of cool Micro Machines available if anyone is interested.

Sales Anything worthy of preservation here?

Various micro machines (or off brand micro machines) I have picked up over the years. Is there anything here particularly rare or interesting? My 3 year old is about to get his hand on them and I fear that will be the end of them. I would like to preserve anything of note.

Does anyone remember the Micro Machines that opened up like a funny car, and had a tiny little identical car inside? This was late 80s/early 90s. I remember I had a black and red roadster. I can’t find it online anywhere.

Had this base play set as a kid. It had buttons on the back, but the battery compartment didn't have anything in it. It came brand new like this. Anyone have any idea why no electronics were included?

Hoping to solve this mystery!

Smaller usual 90s military figure for scale. The larger one is about an inch and a half tall.

Off the shelf display storage for MM?

7 Upvotes

I have about 50 Micromachines in a small container. I'd like to display them, but I don't really know where to begin looking. My idea was to use something like a pill box, but there are of course only 7 slots in those.

Do folks on the forum know of any storage solutions can be purchased from places like Amazon, or other online outlets, that are good for storing and displaying micromachines?

I’m pretty new to Micro Machines and I’ve been sorting through a bunch of vintage Galoob pieces. I’m hosting my first Micro Machines show on October 14th and still learning the hobby, so I’d love any general advice on what collectors like to see in shows, how you prefer lots organized, and what makes a good Micro Machines stream.
Posted a few pictures of what I have so far.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi everyone. It’s been a while since the Micro Machines brand left the market, and I’ve always felt a bit of regret about missing out on certain car models. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. It’s nothing huge—some parts are AI models I’ve edited in Blender—but I really like how they’re turning out (at least for my own taste). Here are some photos of the ones I’ve made so far;The cars of the photos are hand painted, Cheers!

As a Canadian, It’s cheaper to buy this from Italy, than to buy it from the US. This can’t possibly be tariff nonsense, what the hell is going on?

“just buy it online”, okay, my $2 toy is now $48 👍

I know no one here can help solve this, I’m just pissed that it’s so hard to buy a $2 piece of broken plastic.

I'm honestly freaking out, I just discovered the existance of this 2003 collection here in Italy made by De Agostini, and there's no info about it

No pictures of the whole collection, how many numbers, no listings

Maddening
And I want so badly to see it complete (or at least know something more)
