I'm into this idea because I'm roughly 100% nostalgia, by weight, and Micro Machines were a fixture of my childhood, but I didn't actually have any of them.
What I did have a few of - and what I want to see again - are Micro Machines Z-Bots. Please bring those back.
Also, which we're at it, please bring back Attack Pack:
I'm sorry for bombarding you with 90s toy commercials, I just started thinking about all the toys I desperately wanted - but never got - as a kid, and the list turned out to be very long. Indeed, I can certainly keep going with it.
I'm excited for Astrotrain and Apeface (hope they bring out Snapdragon next). I might pick up Spinister. Heck who am I kidding, yeah I'm picking him up too. Crosshairs is the only one I'm not sure of since it is the Ironhide and Ratchet toy.
3 of those 4 look really cool. crosshairs looks fine but not as exciting. spinister is notable sleekier than every other siege toy which to me is fantastic. the detailing on astrotrain and apeface is fine though, much better than on the existing ones
I dig Astrotrain, I had his figure as a kid and the new figure looks to follow the original's transformation. I'm curious how Spinister's transformation will work since his lower legs appears to each contain the full cockpit.
I can't figure out that Spinister. Each of his legs looks like it has the entire helicopter cockpit on it. Is he just stashing a whole extra cockpit on the inside for aesthetics?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's another "cockpit" on the bottom, under that pink part in copter mode
Are orders up for these anywhere? I need Apeface

Couple new Transformers Generations Selects announced.
The first is "Galaxy Man Shockwave" which is a recolor of Siege Shockwave in his original Galaxy Man Colors (like many early Transformers, Shockwave was a preexisting toy Hasbro liscensed the mold for use)
The second, and slightly more interesting, is Lancer, who is the final componant of the Orthia, the combiner made out of Elita-1, Moonracer, Novastar, Greenlight and Lancer. (Sorry Chromia, you don't get to come)
Sadly, Orthia doesn't look the greatest, IMO. Elita-1 (Who I think is a fantastic looking toy) is just too bulky for those limbs. Wish we could have gotten a couple of the ladies as other molds just to be able to bulk up her limbs a bit.
by the way that unicron is fucking nineteen pounds. someone commented on twitter that many are hung up on that he is only 4 inches or so larger than for metroplex, but apparently metroplex weigh 9 pounds, unicron is NINETEEN. i want this thing but i have a unicron and that's just...too much for a single toy.
for me.
more power to anyone who goes for it. the video i saw about the mouth eating is wild
And if you miss a meal and piss him off, he'll go and reformat your smartphone, TV remote, and console controller into functionally-similar-but-ontologically-distinct devices? No thank you, you can keep your robot space god doll baby.

And he won't even do it correctly, if that one episode of TAS is to be believed.

I never really cared for Unicron, plus that price is way too much for me.
I could see it standing on its own, but maybe just standing. I'm imagining a lot of broken wings, or whatever those things sprouting form his shoulders are supposed to be.
And in his defense he is supposed to be in a zero gravity environment. It's not unicron's fault human engineers can replicate that at the home retail scale.

In less toy-car-related requests, I would also like a revival of Centurions:

And you're telling me I gotta feed it, as well?!?!
Are foam ball models of the solar system really that expensive?
