The fastest talker in the world.



I had hundreds of micro machines when I was young. TONS! I had carrying cases and everything.



When I moved from California to Tennessee, they somehow mysteriously got "lost" and never heard from again. I was so upset, but I think my mom saw it as an opportunity to throw them away. Stepping on those little things with bare feet can hurt!





Micro Machines KILL Hot Wheels, ANYDAY!

I the hell out of some Micro Machines back in the day. Now I only have a few selects that I keep as souvenirs of my childhood.

Only one things trumps Micro Machines and that is Voltron. I still have a bunch of retro goodies from that bad boy left over from day's of yore. Something has to wage war on my Gundam models.

That's awesome!







Finally got home to watch the actual video, I still have that aircraft carrier playset somewhere in storage along with Bill's Fish 'n Chips pocket playset (I think the rest of those are now onto new homes). Best commercials find ever
