Micro Car Collector is meant to be a resource for collectors of micro model cars mainly from the 80s to 2000s. The iconic Micro Machines brand started this wave around 1987 and became part of pop culture of the era and many peoples child hood memories who were kids at that time. The popularity of Micro Machines sparked a lot of copycats that jumped the band wagon and released a large variety of micro toy cars into the market. This site wants to be a home for especially these so called offbrands that are not original Micro Machines made by Galoob or Hasbro and are often neglected and underrepresented in the collector world.   

Microcarcollector is a hobby project that started in December 2024. The backstory that lead me here began in the pandemic winter in 2020/2021. Around Christmas at my parent's house I rediscovered my child hood collection of Micro Machines. While many toys of my child hood got forgotten or sold I thought "these are still cool lets keep them and see what they're worth now". That was my entrance into the rabbit hole of collecting Micro Machines and the like. Over the years I connected with collectors from all over the world and found facebook groups with ten thousands of members - all dedicated to collecting Micro Machines. One day I met Timo, a collector from Germany, whose focus was to collect all the micro toy car brands except the original Micro Machines. Through him I learned how much variety in the micro toy car world there actually is. In early 2024 Timo gave up collecting for personal reasons and also deleted the facebook group that was host to most of his knowledge about the topic. While my collector focus is still Micro Machines and to some limited extend Phat Boyz, Funrise and Speedeez, I felt that his knowledge and collection should be documented - and so microcarcollector was born. Making Timo's vast collection accessible to collectors is still an ongoing process. Many models that get documented here will also be available for sale. Checkout my ebay account regularly to not miss some rare items.
