Oh boy..! It's like a thread meant for me.
Your best bet for getting info for them is
They Came From Inner Space...
Micronauts were basically the Microman figures from Japan licensed for the US market. (Transformers also came from the Microman line)
You can get all the info you need from innerspaceonline as far as the releases go.
As far as rarity, there are really only a few pieces that are truly rare. Of course every ebay auction screams RARE! But it's usually BS...
Here's just a quick list of the truly rare pieces. (these will be the vintage and not the Palisades re-releases from a couple of years ago)
Kronos, Lobros, Centaurus. The figures themselves are not super rare, but finding them complete is.
Magnetic figures:
Emperor and Megas
Green Baron and Pegasus
King Atlas (my avatar) and Lantaurion
Trons:
Nemesis
Phobos
Blizzard (but he's totally lame and not worth the effort.
Opaque Time Travelers are also harder to come by.
There are a couple of very rare vehicles.
Ampzilla and Lobstros.
As far as chrome loss goes, it depends on the previous owner and how they have been stored. If they are just displayed, there shouldn't be much chrome loss at all.
And yes, I do customs of them. I have gone as far as to reproduce entire figures... with rivets and everything (finding a proper rivet squeezer and dies was a pain)
Where to find Micronauts... Ebay of course.
Take a look through innerspaceonline and if you decide to go further in your quest for Micronauts I may be able to help you further. (I have quite a few doubles and extras etc... and have some pics of my Micro obsession in my profile)
Good luck.
