Micro Machines .. (another) cheap impulse buy

Passing time in "Home Bargains" is always a case of "can you spot the hidden wargame potential in 'end of line' discounted kids toys?" Cheap and cheerful. The Star Wars franchise provides many such moments particularly with the "MicroMachines" range, sets of three items in various dubious scales. One party pack included a "hover vehicle", so naturally I had to buy two (see below):


I was thinking them as logistic or light patrol vehicles for my Sci-Fi Star Gruntz.

    I like those - how close to 15mm are they?

    They look 15mm to me
    Definitely smaller than Airfix 1/76 figures

    I might need to have a look in home bargains myself.

    The starfighter-sized MicorMachines scale almost perfectly for X-Wing, as well. Great little figures.
