Sorry guys I can't help with this one since I do not collect micro stuff. But I am sure other members can help

I did know about these as a kid, but never took notice. Don't know if I'd have wanted them if they'd been in the shops.

That said I do have a set of them and really like them.

Same for me but i think if i'd seen them i would have wanted to collect them! I've thought about collecting these but some of the prices for the boxed stuff are👁

Very nice

It's a line I've never collected, probably because unlike your good self, I do not remember knowing about them as a kid (or if I did and my memory is faulty, I certainly never owned any) and hence there's never been any nostalgic drive for me to own them. That said, as an adult collector, I definitely do see the appeal of these! I think they're terrific, so well done for having a set, and in lovely condition too by the looks of things!

Thanks for sharing yours

I never saw them in denmark for sale. Could this only have been sold in usa ?

 

[sith-smith]

I think they were only sold in the US, but sales were poor and so the line was cancelled after a year

I managed to get the bulk of my micro collection in one Vectis auction in 2015. Most were fully sealed

Sounds like you did a great deal with that micro lot in 2015, prices was also much better in 2015 than they are today.
