1990's Micro Machines Review

[tazzamillion50]

this guy is the ultimate 90's kid

[Verac1ty]

ROFL I had these! I always got annoyed because my grandmother would confuse them with Hotwheels, which I also owned.

[ChuWanggAmes]

u seem likr the kinda guy who sits out side watches your kid play then you show him and his frnds cool old stuff and they go "WOOOOOOOAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!" and like geek out, aka an epic dad.

[benz1980i]

I had a few sets of these. I prefered micro machines over hot wheels back in the day.

[Brraaaappify]

I remember how hard they were for me to get as a kid. I never got an allowance and everyone on the block had kids my age to mow their own lawn. So the only way to get them was to beg and plead my mom when we went to K-mart that was in a town 16 miles away or trade at least 2 really cool Hot Wheels cars for 1 Micro Machine from other kids. My mom once took me to this older kids house at 9p.m. because she found out that I had traded over 20 Matchbox cars for 5 Micro Machines. She didn't get it.

[PinBallReviewer]

I remember those commercials always thought that talking fast was annoying. xD

[ClassicEngland]

I had the Micro Machine game on a Sega Mega drive, but i had no idea there were real toys and playsets and stuff - Good Vid

[gta99silverado]

wow wtf. i thought the guy in the commercial was speaking foreign language, lol when i realised it was really just sped up..

[LyleVertigo]

at 0:17 what is that? I remember having one but can't remember.

[CagedTurkey]

I used to make play sets out of cereal boxes and whatever cardboard I can get my hands on. The cars was okay, but when Micro Machines started to release jets and motorcycles I shat myself.

[heathkinn]

omg i have a ton of these micro machines.....there awesome....

[DaRkProDucTioNs00]

i wish i had more 1980s micro machiens... but i go have the construction vehicle that you dident grab twards the begining... why did micro machiens didssappear in 2008??? ;(

[rollydodie]

@DaRkProDucTioNs00 hasbro discontinued it

[DaRkProDucTioNs00]

@rollydodie : hasbro is stupid agian....

[rollydodie]

@rollydodie Yeah they bought galoob and micro machines. They stopped production and the remaining military micro machines where repainted into GI joe and sold for a very low price.

[Chiszle]

Micro Machines! I still have a stash of these somewhere.

[squirralicious]

Oh so these are the Micro Machines!

I was curious since Jason H. mentioned them in one of the podcasts.

Micro machines are cute :3

[sergant11280]

hah had the exact same one your holding in your hand at 1:35, lots of people used to bring in bags of there duplicates at school to trade, good times. Remember I had a few insiders too.

[TiiMEwasters]

OMG! i'm too late i had one of those colour changing ones when i was younger but i never new what to do oh well. Nice Video! brought me back a lot of memories

[IMMUNEORNOT]

[flightdeckreviews]

I had some of these whn I was like four and five! I'm not much older know but I think I still have some of them. I had like some army trucks and a few others. I LOVED how small they were too.

[dannyofthededd]

[4293172]

cool

[EmperorColdheart]

Man, why do parents have to be stupid by NOT teaching there kids to stop swallowing small things and choking on them?! I grew up playing with these things as a kid and if I ever have a kid he'll never have the chance to play with these awesome toys unless I pay thousands of dollars!!! I hate stupid people...

[jmart680]

Interesting.

[desconocidos27]

[Devi1DogCota]

Micro Machines classic. Everyone has had at least one micro machine. I had thousands of these things yet can never remember buying any or asking for any u just kind of attained these some how lol. Very cool tho.. btw im loving these nostalgic toy reviews really bringing back my childhood. Good work

[cobhcdr]

[LaFmAn9]

Wow i loved micro machines! I didn,t remember how absolutly amazingly detailed they were! I also totaly forgot about the boats and play citys. Man this really is the best toy of all time in my opinion. A true artistic masterpiece as far as toys go! Thank you so much for posting, if you or anybody reading knows where i can buy them, please get back to me on this!

[realpillboxer]

Jeez, I have at least five of the same micro machines I see there. They must've really pumped 'em out.

[PearlJammer07]

I use to have a set of micromachines in the early 90's. Those things were so much fun to play with. I sold them in the early 2000's. Not a toy collector at all. Great video John!

[KillingJoke696]

I remeber seeing these commercials on Saturday afternoons watcing WWF Superstars

[mermory3345]

[PoPolilB]

Wow finnally a collectable I have more of than you!!

These have really good value. Extremely rare.

Good vid!

[PoPolilB]

Why does your intro music sound like a cheap porn flick from the 80's?

Wow I think I just got DeJa Vu...

[JasonJ25]

Wow. I love these. I had a bunch as a kid but I'm not sure what happened to them. I'm looking into buying these again cause they are so cool.

[youtubasoarus]

I had these. Good times.

[svicciarelli]

i'm calling my brothers tomorrow to ask what happened to our micro machines.

[scir91]

i remember having these!!

[xdarnokx]

I have a TON of Star Wars Micro Machines... I should really dig them out of the attic.

[DesolateMinds]

Its amazing how large and clumsy your hands have got from when you were a child and delicate with those same toys, full circle events indeed. Very nice review ! Also perfect you got the commercial in 16x9!!!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

But I think it's one of those franchises where the video game version/s is far more famous than the original toy now :D

Bu I do remember this kid at school who used to go to America each year (he was a Jehovah's Witness and had this big even there each summer) game back with a HUGE grocery bag full of micro machines (the thing was packed with them) and someone at school nicked the lot. No idea how they managed it as the bag weighted a ton.

[TreSowers]

Man!

I have so many Micro Machines from back in the day. I also have a big van that unfolded and was a city. That was one of the main backdrops when I played as a kid. :]

[ScrewAttackEurope]

I found some Dick Tracy movie micro machines in my attic a few weeks ago.

Also some Limo ones for some reason.

[Gamester81Arcade]

@ScrewAttackEurope Dude I loved Dick Tracy the movie. Classic stuff Larry!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@Gamester81Arcade I think the Genesis game is one of the best movie licenses ever made!

[garyw1980]

i used to love these as a kid! also the guy from the advert was the voice of blur from transformers....

[SPac316]

I had some Micro machines as well!

[tvandlust]

I had a ton of the Star Wars Micro Machines. Loved them! The Millennium Falcon playset was amazing. Thanks for the video, John. :)

[sulley1993]

i had quite a lot of these, i had a play set that was a huge truck and unfolded into a city it was really cool.

[Crush777]

Wowwww, I had totally forgot about micro-machines. I had the biggest collection going growing up. The ones I remember most were the ones that changed colour. I thought they were the coolest thing ever. Very cool. Thanks for posting this.

[neoflynn]

another classic toy, way to bring back fond memories, the boats pissed me off because I think most of them didnt float

[KevinLieber]

That Micro Machines guy also had the World Record for most words spoken per minute. My buddy and I were just talking about Micro Machines at work the other day.

[AndrewXAnarchy]

I was seriously searching the web for these the other day.

I mainly had the military ones. I still have a fighter jet one lying around somewhere.

Great video!

[12B4Uthekid]

o snap cool i still have like 8 of these micro machimes.i love them.i use to have a play set

[CapChronic]

I Had around 8-9 of the military micro machine play sets ... I remember one was a tower with a flash light on it that fired out missiles I looked it up and its called night attack... I wonder if I still have it

[MrMMO97]

Whoah

Havent seen these in a while

LOL

[JasonRelaxation]

ya it was mr.testaverde from save by the bell i use to watch it all the time cause of kelly kapowski aka tiffani amber thiessen

[Stinger2578]

Thanks for sharing.  If I remember right, they often came in packs of 5. I thought they had great details for such a small size.

I had a few Micro Machines - even the little red convertible you have in the upper-right corner :)

I hadn't checked your other channel, but wondered if you had some of the Star Wars ones you mentioned. I remember them, but never had any.

[DeViouS1107]

he was on saved by the bell and also Blur on Transformers, i think.

[Steoandnoodles]

Great video. I had micro-machines myself but never any play sets. :(

One of my friends who lives just up the road had a play-set so it was awesome just playing with him when I was younger.

[henryblazer20]

omg i had every one of those! And it's that guy who talks really fast!

[tornadexx]

[tornadexx]

@tornadexx firebird not airbird xD .... FAIL!

[MikesArt84]

Yeah, i had that playset, awesome stuff!

[Kylemeister13]

Micro Machines Transformers aka Micromasters were also classic

[bcdiamond]

Ah loved these things as a kid. We'd sit around and trade these all day.

[emojo1990]

i bought a play set in the shape of a truck at a carboot. it cost £1.50 and came with around 40 cars. i think i still have it so i might make a video response.

[azeeislight]

Awesome! I was wondering when you'd talk about these. Oh the joys of middle school.

[lemonlimestiv]

[superlegoman64]

[TheMindshifter]
