Babylon 5 Micromachine things

Whitestar 15Whitestar 15 Earthforce Officer
in Babylon 5
Hi all. Hav got a few of the B5 micromachine thingys and i think they r really cool evn if they r virtually impossible to get hold of except on ebay. So does any1 know where i can get either ne of the micromachines from ne shops (doubtful i know) or where i can get any of the babylon 5 models from the games. i hav seen the sunhawk once but that is all. I live near Hull so if any1 cud tell me any place near by where i can get em id b real pleased! cheers!

    sorry is this better? i have seen the micromachines occasionally on ebay but they got for quite a bit. i know you can still buy the metal miniature things (i still cant remember the name of the game that they are from) because i have seen them in sheffield-where i saw the sunhawk. hmm ill just hav 2 keep an eye out...

    The only place I've seen them is eBay. You're probably not going to find them in any retail stores, simply because they're not being produced anymore.

    In one store, I found a lot of Babylon 5 keychains that were just Micromachines with little holes attached to the front and metal chains on them. Trim the holes off and you have a practically mint Micromachine to play with.
  • Whitestar 15Whitestar 15 Earthforce Officer
    Yeah i hav got most of em-i think there are 8, and for the ones i don't have, i have the actual micromachines. u can buy the keyrings regularly off ebay, normally with a "buy it now" price of around £10 but i got mine from the last picture show in meadowhall a while back. u can also get pencil toppers with the same micromachine things on. not that im obsessed...
  • samuelksamuelk The Unstoppable Mr. 'K'
    There are more than 8. In total, there were 6 sets of 3 ships, for a total of 18:

    #1 Space Station, Vorlon Transport, Green Ship
    #2 Vorlon Cruiser, Narn Transport, Raider Ship
    #3 Centauri Transport, Minbari Cruiser, Star Fury
    #4 Minbari Flyer, Narn Fighter, Babylon 5 Crew Shuttle
    #5 Earth Alliance Atmospheric Shuttle, Narn Heavy Cruiser, Centauri Passenger Ship
    #6 Earth Force One, Narn Heavy Dreadnought, Marie Celeste
  • Whitestar 15Whitestar 15 Earthforce Officer
    Yeah i meant 8 keyrings...these include:
    *Babylon 5
    *Narn Transport
    *Starfury
    *Narn Fighter
    *Green Ship
    *Centauri Transport
    *Minbari Flyer
    *Babylon 5 Crew Shuttle

    I listed them as they r on the back of the box. The narn fighter is a Frazi but it dont call it that. I hav about half of the micromachines.Out of the micros I need the Vorlon Transport, Vorlon Cruiser, Raider Ship,Minbari Cruiser,Atmospheric Shuttle, Narn Heavy Cruiser, Centauri Passenger Ship, Earth Force One, Narn Heavy Dreadnaught and the Marie Celeste.
    I hav a couple Centauri transports so if ne1 wanna swap for ne of the ones i haven't got if they hav doubles then i wud b well pleased. but if not ill havb 2 carry on my search on ebay.
    This is my longest post eva! i hav a few of the ships that came with the B5 action figures as well. Got the Whitestar, Primus-class, Sharlin and the Iccarus. Thanx for the list of micros tho!

    The game for the minis is Babylon 5 Wars by Agents of Gaming. They have a LOT of ships! Probably cheaper to get those than to eBay the Micro Machines.

  • Whitestar 15Whitestar 15 Earthforce Officer
    Yeah that's what they are called! I thought they are quite expensive though? the sunhawk i saw was a tenner (£)which i thought was quite alot for just one ship, although micromachines do generally go for alot more than that on ebay so i suppose both are quite expensive
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    They are very expensive. Think Warhammer. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/tongue.gif[/img]

    few days ago i saw one guy selling fleets of AOG at a very very low price in ebay.

    one of earth,centauri,narn,mimbari...i think near 150 ships one offer by race ...and at a cost of...2$ per unit (really really low)....but i dont have the $$$......GRRRR.

    and they were painted......grrr...looking that fleets.....

    maybe that offers are still up...look there.

    I have an unused but opened [b][i]Babylon 5 Wars[/i][/b]. It has the mini's in it. I have another one from CGS also.

    I'd be happy to sell them off for a reasonable price in $US... [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]

    Unfortunatley I am in ENgland and i'm not sure how much it would cost to send from the USA into England. I expect it would be quite high however. If you have any ideas about how much it might cost then i probably would b interested. Are they painted, etc?Thanx
  • Vertigo1Vertigo1 Official Fuzzy Dice of FirstOnes.com
    It actually doesn't cost as much as you think it would to ship something from US to UK. All that really factors in is where in the US is it shipping from and what type of shipping. (ie: 2-day business, etc...)
