There was a kid down the road from me and rumor had it that he had all the star wars figures and ships available, that was the main thing I can remember wanting.

I feel your pain, Ruu. The annoying little runt who lived next door wouldn't let me or any of the other kids on the road play with his soda stream. Asked my folks for one but they said it was a total waste of money

Yore ma!!!

Someone had to say it here eventually!

My friend always had Captain Planet game (amiga I think) and the first Simpsons game (probably amiga again, or a sam 500!). I always wanted them..

I just played in cardboard boxed. Best forts I ever had! Probably need planning permission now for them. Stupid 90s/00s

I had the big yellow teapot. Was it the one that had windows in it and opened up to be a house? It was awesome. So awesome, that when my parents threw it out recently someone stole it out of the skip!

Amiga 600 FTW.....!

I loved the 80s and early 90s, so laid back easy come easy go. now the world is pretty ****ed up a bit. imagine being born now and never getting to know what it was like to be a 80s kid.
