Planet Micro is a series of small scale (approximately 1:150 scale) Hot Wheels in the late 1990s. They came after the the Micro Hot Wheels and before the Atomix series. Planet Micro cars are actually smaller than the Micro Hot Wheels series from the late 80s/ early 90s with the punchline "Micro Size, Mega Detail!" Alot of the vehicles in the series are based on actual 1/64 Hot Wheels castings.
There was a pause in the line of these miniature cars, and when they came back in the early 2000s, the series was renamed the Atomix series which has both new and old castings from the Planet Micro series transferred over.
Most of the Planet Micro cars where sold in "Microscape" sets (and possibly randomly found in single sets?). These are the sets listed below:
==NASCAR Series 1==
Hot Wheels..Leading the Way! Following grandfather Lee Petty and father Richard Petty, third-generation race driver Kyle Petty burns up the circuit in #44 for HOT WHEELS Racing! And racing pro Ernie Irvan in #28 takes it to the limit and never looks back!
