Star Wars Vintage Micro Collection. 1982. - Hoth Generator Attack.

By J.King.

A Guilty Pleasure I call these. Small Micro Play Sets from Kenner made of Die Cast Figures and Pretty cool plastic play sets and vehicles made to fall apart from explosions, Kenners way of trying to key into the micro collections of the eighties. Many Mini toys were made in this time of the eighties, This was Kenners answer. The guilty part of it all is how inexpensive they are now. Compared to their Vintage 3 and 3/4 brothers, these baby's can go for next to nothing complete and mint on E-bay. Take for instance the below set I'm starting this thread off with, One of the Hoth system Sets (Kenner came out with three conectable series, Hoth, Bespin, and The Death Star) this set has an original price tag of 2.99 WOW what I would do with a time machine, and unbelievably you can find them for only mere dollars more on e-bay, JUST BEWARE of conventions or back yard collectors. Many will claim these are worth hundreds! Do not believe or trust them or be crazy enough to buy them from some freak who claims this! I had a friend from yojoe who though he got a good deal by spending two hundred on a hoth play set...... Not complete... when he found on ebay for fifty he could buy the complete one!

Well enough of Collecting babble, here is complete and NEAR Mint, The First Micro collection set I have, The Hoth Generator play set, complete with blow apart ATST and (Strutting Darth Vader) Acording to the Carded box.
