Second Hand Score: Micronauts!!!

A few years ago I picked up this 1977 Mego Micronauts Battle Cruiser set at a local Goodwill store. I had never really been a big fan of the toys and the only time I ever actually played with them was at my cousin's house, but they only wanted $1.99 for it so how could I pass it up!
Here is what was in the box. I would say about 80% of the set was in there. There was another set at the store, but it didn't look nearly as complete as this one.
The box contained a nice assortment of Micronauts figures. Sadly most of them were missing body parts or had broken waists. There were 2 figures though that were in excellent condition. The blue Pharoid figure even came with his sarcophagus!
This is what I was able to put together from the pieces in the box. The remote control no longer works, but still pretty cool looking! I let my son play with this toy and he really enjoys the fact that you can customize the vehicle any way you want it. Overall, I call this pickup a win!

  1. Damn, that's like the Micronaut Fantasitcar! I only had a couple of the smaller sets but this one was always one I drooled over in the catalog.

    1. I had one of the side cars that was also a spring loaded blaster, but my kids lost it somewhere in the house! I'll have to find it and update this blog entry soon.

    1. I never really was a fan. Probably because it was a little before my time, but I can see why these toys are so popular!
