Things you had as a kid that you wish you still had.

For me it would be my A-Team action figures,I had Mr T,Face and Murdock.They'd probably be worth a bit now as collecters items especially if they were in their original packaging.

I had this when i was a young lad lost all the peices and felt really really guilty as it cost a fair bit back then for santy to buy.... I know im straying a bit now from the topic....but I bought it online again about 6 years ago for myself.:o

the purple tin

Hair

The Princess Bride

I had a beautiful dark brown rocking horse and my younger brother(The Brat) left it outside in the rain and it got ruined.

Was so upset,and it still annoys me. Would've loved to have had it to show my own children. Have never seen one since that was as nice as mine.:(

No really.. I had a gyroscope that used to balance on anything, it was so cool.
It was so simple but I got weeks of fun out of it until I lost it:(

I read that as "gynoscope".:eek:

I had this transformer that I got in a Kinder surprise egg. It was tiny but so cool. I bought Kinder Surprise eggs for years after in the hope of getting something as good, but never did.

F**k me! I had one of those

My dad still tells the story of the day he gave it to me and my little brother (3 & 2 respectively)

He set it all up and called us inside.

Dad: Hey boys, I got you something

Me: A Garage!

Bro: A box!

And little bro proceeded to play with the box all day

Mr Trade In

Jolly Ranchers and Marathon Bars.

when I was about 8 a neighbour called me into his garage one day and gave me a fully working steam replica of the Titanic. It was about 4 ft long weighed a ton and had a full working boiler twin brass propellors, actually there was loads of brass bits.
I did not appreciate it at the time and I dont really know what became of it. I would love it now !

Dotrel

No particular item. Just the general feeling of security, happiness, wonder and optimism I used to have as a kid. I never get that anymore.

Thoie

All my internal organs.

But failing those, I want all my big lego town and my spirograph.

anewme

I kept my Fabulous Fred from 1980.

It's still in my Mam's house in perfect working order.:D

Great Game

What was so fabulous about it?

GOOD GOD, that makes you like.............40+;)
Just kidding:D

I remember one of those knocking around my house when I was a nipper, never remember it working tho.

Cottontail

My mum has my My Little Pony stuff in the attic... although I'm never going to have any girls to give them to! also all the lego that we had in our house is up there somewhere too but my little fella is too small for it yet - give it a few years though!

Scruffles

the original stay puft from ghostbusters,it was huge.
these go for a ton on ebay now,mine woud have been in mint condition because had never played with toys,just collected them.
however,last year dad being a pillock threw out all of the stuff we had as kids even though they were in the loft and out of the way, there were some serious treasures in there like original teenage mutant hero turtles figures,original WWF figures [eg, british bulldog,doink etc],original star wars figures [though no boxes],original biker mice from mars figures, original bucky o hare figures,and like with another user on this thread-a lot of it from sisters piles of crap coud have gone to her baby who is celebrating her first christmas this year.

he threw out our comodore sixty four [still with the original box] to with bags full of tapes.

some people will never understand the importance and value of retro items.

Had this weird bucket fella who moved around and spat out balls and you had to collect the ones that were whatever colour you were playing... Sounds boring as hell but was surprisingly fun at like 5/6. I had always wanted one of those micro machines trucks that folded out into a little city, my best friend had one and it was class. But unfortunately being a 8 year old girl meant I got a baby born instead...

A couple of pocket knives. Nothing fancy but I collect them now so it'd be nice to have the ones I had when I was 9/10.
And my Matchbox and Corgi cars. No idea where they went.

the Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents who used to give me 10 and 20 punts whenever I saw them ... :rolleyes:

My mother and brother.

I had a set called Electronics Workshop when I was a child. It had what was effectively an empty circuit board for installing components and included resistors, capacitors, transistors, LEDs and diodes. The instruction book had a large number of circuits you could build, from basic light clusters to a working medium wave radio. I wish I still had it now.

jonnyrudyard

Pretty much everything. The toys, the stuffed animals, the board games (or as my grandmother called them "bored games" ha), etc. sigh

I can't believe there has been no mention of Mr Frosty.

Mr Frosty is such fun
He makes treats for everyone
Pop the ice
Under his hat
Turn the handle just like that
Squirt in a flavour that you like
And delicious lollies, mmm, that's nice!

:pac:

My barrel of monkeys. I spent hours hooking them, arm to tail,hanging them from any place high enough. Also the ability to keep a hoola hoop going around my waist,one on my neck and one on each arm.

I think I had that. You could make buzzers and photocells and the like. I think it had a morse key or something. Such a nerd

My wedding Barbie and Ken but in fairness I gave them to my cousin who was very sick at the time so while I miss them but I'm cool with it.

I also wish I had this cool purple Polly Pocket that I used to play with all the time. I just lost that.

I used to have these little toy soldiers called the CORPS. (I used to pronounce it as corpse ).

My old collection of Pogs and Pog Slammers should be knocking around the mothers house somewhere, I must dig them out and get a Pog revolution going:D

My Evel Knievel wind up toy was my favourite toy ever. I'd give anything to find it. I'm hoping it's in the attic but the chances of me getting up there to find it are non existant.

My black West highland Terrier ( his name was Jason ) .... I was an only child so he was my best buddy. He lived to be 17 yrs old , died when I was 18 ( 1988 ).
