Awesome carl, I once had one or two x-wings that I found in a childhood lot. But I sold them on the forum. Mine was white, I have never seen that variant before, cool 8)

I really like the Micro line but wish they'd kept the black packaging of the other lines. I'm sure they would have sold better

The Micro Collection toys remind me a bit of the 90's Micro Machines 'Action Fleet' toys.

I really like the Micro Collection. The X-Wing was very cool with it's break apart feature. The X-wing started selling in Summer 1982.

Mine is still factory sealed, this is how I prefer to collect them

Yes it will be a busy couple of years, I hope you will be here to the end :lol:

Nice I would love to see that Dewback 8)

What is the difference with the X-wing you have and the Diecast ? :?

Lars, Are you thinking of the die cast range?

Yes I was thinking about that one, is that not the same as the Micro or is it 2 different items ? do we need a diecast run or is micro or diecast the same ?

The Micro collection was completely different, although there are similarities that could be pointed out. A micro collection Tie Fighter was also made which also had a diecast series counterpart. Most of the Micro collection was playset based, but these two vehicles were released separately in the micro range, probably because they were seen as the best of the Diecast line.

The micro vehicles are plastic with a diecast figure, whereas the diecast series were diecast vehicles with a plastic figure. The micro series was all launched in boxes with a few mailer boxes and a couple of department store exclusives.

I will be doing a post on micro collection at some point at http://www.retrotoyinfo.co.uk

Below is the Micro collection introduced in the 1982 Kenner Toy Fair catalog. The X-wing got a nice full page advert

definitely not the same

diecast is much smaller and has less features. micro collection has removal pilots too. For comparison look at the luke in jabbawookie's photo compared to the micro luke

Lovely sealed example too

Don't forget the falcon and snowspeeder

I'll save my photos of them for another toy of the week :D
