The box is in poor condition but the toys itself are practically mint. The missile launcher even has the spring that American versions seem to lack.

They didn't switch to yearly copyright updates until after partnering with Hasbro. MicroChange ran from 1983-1984, and I believe this set is from 1983. <br />http://microforever.com/1983microchange.htm<br />http://microforever.com/MC05Microx.htmmicrobryhttp://rockettubes.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-31044328089932049522011-05-04T04:26:33.472+08:002011-05-04T04:26:33.472+08:00Beautiful.
