Lots more new additions to my collection recently, and a complete overhaul of how the photos are organized. Have a browse and see if you can find any memories of your childhood!

Thanks for the link !

Here we have a very rare series of "Deluxe" Micro Machines from 1990. They are very hard to find and would set you back upwards of 40 dollars a piece!

love those MM

Some interesting new addition to the collection of the past few months. Here are a few, but there is lots more to be found on my photo sharing page:

Micro Machines first launched with just 11 vehicle sets in 1987. They are easily recognisable as 1987 sets by the sunray style packaging. Here are some of them:

Wow, loving your collection,I've got set number 8, but mine are different colours than yours. Are these still desirable loose? Anyway, thanks for confirming there existence. Do you remember a toyline called world's smallest matchbox?

Cheers dude

Yours are a different colour because they are from a different year, most likely 1989. The 1989 sets are far more common compared to 1990 as Galoob were facing bankruptcy at the time. Anything from 1990 is considered rare. Loose micros are very desirable, I'm always buying them! Feel free to send me some pics. I do not recall matchbox micros I must admit.

Kudos!!!

Best Micro Machines collection that I have seen! I always enjoyed these as a kid. Didn't have that many though as all my pocket money went to 3.75" Joe's and Star Wars... to which it still does today.

Are these complete sets from each respective year? I am not one, but I can REALLY appreciate the dedication of a MINT IN BOX completist. Well done indeed.

Thank you! My collection is small fry compared to some people I know, believe me. I'm just a novice! I am striving for complete sets from certain years and certain series, but there are others who are collecting absolutely everything that has been produced from 1987 to present day!

I can't afford to be that completist, even if I wanted to be, so I stick with my specific want lists and only occasionally expand out. Still got lots more to collect!

I have finally managed to acquire a Holy Grail piece for my mint Zbots collection.... The series 4 vehicle known as Z-Stroyer.
