Micron Boosters

[ScottieEvil]

Yes I know their minicons, are they exclusive colors, are there chase figs?

 

Is there more than one series?

 

I got offered a POP box/case in a deal, but I don't really know what they are or if they're worth anything

[Bluestreak]

you get the full set in a case of 12, and there are no chases. and silver sparkplug is just simply awesome...

Micron Boosters are boxes of recolored Mini-Cons - the set just released has a sea greenish Energon Saber redeco, 3 more Sparkplug variants, another Sea Team deco, and 3 others. Here's a link to Remy's gallery:

 

Micron Boosters 1

 

My question is: are these made by Takara, or are these made by Kabaya or some other licensed company?

damn ss49,you been out the loop bro. @loll@

 

 

the boosters are just repaints to "boost" your collection

Pretty cool, but a little steep for a bounch of minicons.

Ok...this is my department.

 

So far there are 2 series of Micron Boosters.

 

Quickshift got the second series right above, where the boxes had 12 pieces which were a complete set.

 

The first series was called Version 0 from last year. Boxes held 24 pieces, where the set was 8 toys: both the Race and Air Defense Team with "metallic" plastic, and red and blue Sparkplugs.

 

I've got them all and do recommend them. The repaint Sparkplugs are real nice. A blue Energon Saber can't go wrong either.

Thanks for the info chap ! I always wondered what the Micron boosters were, I thought they were just the same'ol Miniconas we normally get.

You're most welcome!

 

Here's Remy's gallery of the red and blue Sparkplugs:

Thanks, Remy!

 

 

These two along with the yellow and green versions are some of my favorite minicons.

Jeez a thing of 24 at BBTS is $84.99 Not worth it for minicons I'm afraid.

No. Those boxes are overkill. You can normally find a set on ebay, but it really isn't worth it unless you're a collector. The "metallic" race and air teams aren't that different from the original releases. Not to mention, I've seen auctions for just the red and blue Sparkplugs (Rod + Atlus).

 

The second set is worth buying a box, if you can.
