1987

1987 was the first year of production for Galoob Micro Machines. These sets can be found with either 1985 or 1987 copyright details on the bottom. There were 11 sets released, but variations exist (see the following section). The same packaging style was used in 1988 for UK and Italy. Additionally, some 1988 vehicles are found with this style of packaging for USA sets as well and are considered extremely rare. (Note: The release year for Galoob is the year after the copyright.)

2020

For 2020, Hasbro is working with Wicked Cool Toys, a Jazwares Company, to revive the brand.

If you were a kid in the early ‘90s, watching Home Alone probably brings up fond memories of a toy line you haven’t seen in 30 years. Although a huge hit when first released, Micro Machines eventually disappeared from store shelves, but in 2020 the tiny toy cars are being resurrected with a new line that includes an updated version of a classic transforming playset.

Today we have an exclusive reveal at one of the new Micro Machines playsets that will be available later in the Fall. Fans of the original toy line will undoubtedly be familiar with the original Micro Machines Super Van City which featured an entire miniature metropolis that could be folded up and hidden inside a larger Airstream-inspired motorhome.
