    I get all warm and fuzzy seeing MM return. Hopefully they can be of a similar quality to the originals, although it's hard to imagine today's Hasbro making something as wonderful as the Action Fleet was. Those images do look very promising though, so fingers crossed!

    I'd like to see what they could do with Transformers, too.
    It could be the return of Micromasters that I'm always wishing for.

    Halle-freaking-llujah!

    This really would be perfect for GI Joe. We'll never get a re-release of the General or the USS Flagg... but a playset General stocked with smaller Joe vehicles and a Flagg with a squadron of Joe planes would be fantastic.

    This is new to me!

    I was a HUGE fan of Micro Machines growing up in the 90s, and I am happy as all hell that it's returning.

    Cool. I love the little figurines the playsets come with. I have so many from past releases. They are great for my Macross displays because they're 1/72 scale figurines.

    I blew up my vintage Millennium Falcon playset during my teenage years:

    Still sad about it to this day. Love the mini diecast figures.

    Holy shit, Micro Machines is coming back?
    Awesome!
    Micro Machines would be a great toy for today's kids. They aren't costly to manufacture, they don't take up a lot of space (the vehicles don't, anyway), and the applicable themes are limitless (there were Aliens, Armageddon, and a whole slew of others that got the Micro Machines treatment)

    I actually never got to play with the old ones (I'm in my teen years now), so to see this now is great for me!

    I know I should be happy because MM, but I was never big on the playsets. Bring back the vehicle packs then we'll talk happy feelings.

    Saw a new mm thread, got my hopes up that the car line was getting resurrected.

    Considering how the last attempt went I guess that's sort of a good thing. I still miss them though. Oh especially the Insiders, now those little buggers would scale well against Metroplex.

    I would love to see Hasbro tie Micro Machines into many of their licenses.
    Jurassic World? Youbetjurass
    Marvel? So much yes
    GI Joe? Yessir
    Transformers? As long as it means new baseformers
    Star Wars would be awesome, too (I had some of the POTF minis as a kid)
    The only license Hasbro does that I don't think would work is, ugh, Angry Birds.

    Star Wars Micro Machines -- that really takes me back.

    I was collecting these like mad before the POTF2 figures came out.

    I enjoyed the Star Trek and Star Wars Micro Machine lines. Still have them too.

    If there's some good packs out there (I wasn't into the playsets that much) of some cool ships, they've got my interest.

    I had one of these as a kid (the yellow Hummer), so this is really cool!
    I agree with the people who have said that Transformer sets should happen.

    SW Micro Machines, eh? Show me a Death Star, and I'll show you my money.

    Wonder if they'll do tv commercials like the old ones?

    I would be so happy for this line to continue. It would be great to see many of our favorite franchises get te mm treatment including transformers.
