    but never got?

    Mine was always the Millennium Falcon or the AT-AT Star wars toys
    really wanted this but never got it

    I also remember asking for a Tomytronic 3D for years and eventually they got me one but it was the wrong :rolleyes:

    I always wanted Mr frostie (Think that is what he was called), he made ice pops.

    Good thing i never got him though... I wasn't the smallest child:o

    I always wanted a remote controlled plane or helicopter.

    I bought a heli last year, it gave me unbridled joy for 3 days. Then it broke, the things are a lethal combination of hard to control and very delicate. They don't last pissing time.

    I might buy another in the sales.

    my mate got one in Arnotts that they are demoing and it is very rugged as he demonstrates by crashing a lot on purpose, it has rubber blades as opposed to the solid ones that break within 10 minutes

    I had to do a double take on these two posts, all the while wondering what line of business arnotts were moving into.

    Those electric jeeps that you could drive around. Damn those rich kids with their money and presents.

    I wanted a Mr Frosty too but there was always something I wanted more so Mr Frosty was always down the list and I never got one. From talking about the same subject with my friends it seems he's a popular toy that people never got.

    had desperately wanted a sega mega CD [mkII to fit with the mkII megadrive that already had],had also wanted the thirty two x-mum and dad never had the money for that sort of stuff though.

    probably sound like a right sega fangirl but had also wanted a sega game gear because it not only played games; with a tv tuner it also had tv function as well.

    Old issues of various superheroes comics used be the American edition, and on the back outside or inside there was almost inevitably an Ad for Daisy BB guns......
    I always wanted one of the ones that looked like this, as it resembled the classic lever action Winchester of the westerns.

    This, wanted one for years when I was younger but never got one. Eventually got one in New York a few years back at the grand age of 25:D ...gave it to my son on Christmas Eve knowing he was getting other Star Wars stuff for Christmas and he loves it.:)

    With the MegaCD and 32X you dodged a bullet :pac:
