I actually don't remember seeing any of the Micronauts commercials at all in this time period, but I didn't need them. I was captivated by the amazing array of vehicles and robots that were presented to us when I saw them in K-Mart for the first time. then the comic book came out and I loved them even more. that first 12 issue run is really great. I wish Marvel could reprint it sometime.
my brother and I owned a lot of them, though he kept getting them since he was younger, and I had to start getting shoes and socks for presents. I could have gone barefoot a little longer!
My Micronauts memories are mostly tied to TG&Y. Another flashback to the 1970s.
ReplyDeleteMarvel did a reprint series on nicer paper back in the 80s of those exact issues. Hmmmmm!
oh really? I'll have to look into that.
ReplyDeleteI got a lot of Megos from TG&Y, but for some reason they didn't carry the Micronauts. weird, huh?
That is pretty strange, since I think that was where I got almost all of mine!
ReplyDeleteI had this faint memory of it existing, and sure enough, there it was. If you don't get them before then, I'll keep that in mind next time I make a comics order. Hopefully, it won't be a fiasco like the last one!
adventures in comic book ordering. amazing times! I think you should blog that.
ReplyDeleteI think K-Mart was always cheaper than TG&Y. I got all my 8mm films from the K as well.
