This article made me wonder what ever happened to Micro Machines. They just sort of dissappeared from the public consciousness. It seems like the brand (Micro Machines) was stopped from production, and its IP sort of died away when Galoob was bought by Hasbro [1]

I used to have a huge collection of them. My mom amazingly kept them around, and now my kids have a huge collection to play. What a present!

I was older when they came out, but I loved them even though they were on the expensive side.

I still have a pencil case full of cars and its pretty much the only toy that I've managed to keep. I guess being small helped!
