My five year old daughter enjoyed it, and I had fun with the mountain drop, making the cars fall inside and drive out the opening. Then, his little buddy came over for a play date and he went crazy on the Micro Machines Super Van City set. Super Van City is fun and my son spent a surprising (and pleasing!) amount of time making stories and adventures inside of it. One piece of Micro Machines trivia that I wished I remembered– were these things ever die-cast? Or were they always plastic? I love that the set came with three cars. I managed to figure out where the stickers and decals went and how the wrecking ball adhered to the board. And ultimately, it is a good set! The instructions were very convoluted and there was a lot of visual noise happening with the drawings. Individually packaged Micro Machines have started popping up at Walmart as well, but this is the first playset to ship out. Just because this set is $60, you don’t see Hasbro calling it a collector’s piece. $60 for a higher-end kids toy is not a bad thing, but embrace these things for what they are. The upcoming Animatronic Baby Yoda (holiday season 2020) has a $60 price tag. This Super Van City playset has a $60 price tag. That is not an adult collectible) which had a $60 price tag. In my review video, I mention how Hasbro recently released the Power Rangers Green Ranger Dragon Dagger toy (yes, toy. Thus, Hasbro purchased the Micro Machines license from the now-dead Galoob ( can you just hurry up and buy Golden Girl warrior babe toys already, please?) and now they are pumping out the plastic (and I mean plastic) for these playsets. Along with Hot Wheels and Matchbox, these little cars (with limited licensed releases but many pieces inspired by actual cars) were a hit among kids and collectors that enjoyed playing with them and setting them up. Micro Machines, as many toy collectors know, was a line of miniature cars, tracks, and playsets from the 80s and 90s. From the moment this toy showed up in the mail, Avery was eager to crack it open and drive the cars all around, to the point where he wanted to be part of the review video as a guinea pig! For the Micro Machines 2020 toy review, I teamed up with my seven year old son Avery to help review this awesome playset from a child’s perspective.
