Toys you really wanted as a kid, but never got

So, list some toys you really wanted as a kid, but never got.

My friend had gotten into lego a bit earlier than I had, so he had all of the older castle sets that had been taken out of production. It had props that I felt were absolutely awesome, like a Princess character, and the Black Knight. He also had the old school space police and their monorail, which actually ran like a train set. I'd love going over to his house just to stare at his lego collection, haha.

I also wanted a pogo stick for ages, but my mother felt that they were too dangerous. She was probably right.

Super Mario RPG. I dreamed of it, for a whole year.

I asked my mum to get it me for Christmas about three times per month. And then I had a spat with my brother in November, I don't even remember what for, and my mum went "you know, just for this, you're not getting that videogame you asked. Ever." sad

I am almost tempted to download the rom and play it on an emulator. But it would probably be disappointing by now...

Barie Airplane, Barbie Dreamhouse, Barbie pool.. Mostly anything I never got that I really wanted was Barbie stuff.

Optimus Prime, one of the original ones.

I didn't get toy guns given to me, so I had to make them out of whatever I had laying around. There's a lot you can do with epoxy and loose bits of metal and plastic, it turns out. Old VCR's are great for greebles if you want a futuristic sci-fi weapon.

I wanted one of those monster truck go-kart things.

Also, there was a strict rule against toys that involved "slime", although I do remember having some Gak. Similarly, Stinkor was out of the question.

I wanted Kingdom Hearts Chain Of Memories. Didn't get it until last year. Hmm...probably would have made do but, Captin Hook would have killed me.

The original Lego A-Wing, from the first Star Wars wave. Wanted to have that before I was even into Star Wars, but never got it. I did get the redesign a few years later though.

Oh, and a slotcar track. While my dad would have gladly cooperated on that, our house is just too damn small.

A Gameboy.

Mine was a sad and lonely childhood. I had to actually wander outside the house to entertain myself.

Wanted more of the cubzor Zoids so I could make mutant animal robots of doom.

I did have a red blade liger so eh. Shit was fine.

Mass-produced toys were actually few and far between for me.

I was a huge Lego fan. I always wanted the Lego Coastguard station. I only saw it once, on display in the Woolworths in Perth, but it embedded itself in my psyche.

Oh, and the old Kenner AT-AT.

there were lots of barbie toys I wanted but never got. Not the dolls but features on the barbie RV and dream house looked cool enough to me to want to cross gender lines.
