Who...ME? Shirley you jest?!?!
Here's the only pic I have loaded that sorta shows the set of Micros I have on display...the other sets are still in the packages.

                                                        Kleek

Some year cars of this set came in different color combos, making getting a complete collection hard to find...I have all of the variations except for one....I just can't seem to bring meself to pay $1200 for the brown '62.... They only did 10-12 of them in that color...
Some of these little turds are super high priced now, as a lot of folks are trying to get a complete set. I've seen several individual cars go for over $500!!! Luckily for me, Mama & I bought all of ours when they first came out...for $2.00 each!!

Mickers...next time you is at the house, look up high on the shelves by the door going into the den/living room...there is a set of them in the boxes up on the top shelf there...up above the Danbury Mint cars in the display case by the door...Mama can point them out to ya. I fergit now where the other set is...I have 3...Adams' Apple2008-05-27 10:16:36

I have some Micro Machines in a box somewhere, I don't think I have Vettes though. Now I will have to pull the boxes out of the closet to see what I have in there. I think I have a die cast C4 Coca Cola Corvette (not a micro) in there and some other stuff.
 
Nice stuff you got there Joel! I guess we never stop playing with toys, big or small.Big%20smile

I've never seen one of those things that was preggo like that. None of my die-cast books list any of the Micro Machines except the ones since Star Wars came out. Galoob did a complete series of Star Wars figurines...Adams' Apple2008-05-27 19:50:07

I do have a handful(literally) or two of older MM cars, but I don't remember any Corvettes. There are some 55-57 Chebbies, and some Turd-Birds I know...and a couple of pick-em-up-twucks.
There were several sets of Corvettes put out about 5-6 years ago, but these were all plastic cars, not really die-casts. I've got a few different sets of those, too. Some of the sets came with other cars in them, as well as all Corvette sets.
