You remember those little tiny cars that really seemed to have no purpose unless you could convince your parents to drop like thiry bucks on a miniture city to drive them around in? Yeah, Micro machines...that's them. I hypothesize that every kid at some point played with them in a way other than shown on commercials. For instance, I shot out of a slingshot. And I highly doubt that anyone can say that they didn't put a bunch of them on the ground at some point and pretend to be Godzilla smashing a little tiny city that consisted primarily of cars. Heck, even when you had a friend over and were playing it right, it always turned into a war with you and him/her throwing the little things at each other. Then I got grounded and sent to my room...yay for micro machines.

My brother and I used to play for hours together with his matchbox cars and micro machines. He used to have all kinds of cool toys for his cars. We used to play with them outside in the sandbox also.

Oh yeah...I also remember that you always ended up losing one or two when they got sucked up by your mom vacuuming...but they made a cool noise when they did so it was worth it.

I never had these, but I bought some from New York last year for my little neice who is a tom-boy. I used to have loads and loads of Matchbox toy cars. Used to love the London red bus and throwing it around. Simply cos I hate London!!!!

They were big enough such that they didn't smash under your foot as much as they rolled and caused you to fall flat on you back.
