things you always wanted but never had as a kid

[TurdBerglar]

trampoline!
mini dirt bike!
go cart!
pet python!
gameboy!

[Yetra Flam]

a fuckin gameboy and some rollerblades. back in like, 1995 or something.
But now that i'm a grownup i buy heaps of awesome stuff i wanted as a kid. I have shitloads of lego now, some awesome figurines and i eat all the candy i want.

[TurdBerglar]

i remember walking into the department store with my mom and looking at the trampoline hanging on the wall.

MOM MOM MOM! LOOK LOOK LOOK!

....don't be stupid

[Yetra Flam]

i got my leg caught between some of the springs in a trampoline once

[cosmo105]

fuck yeah a trampoline!
pow pow powerwheels
innumerable barbie homes
a slide for the pool
a big sister (never understood why they couldn't make that happen)

[TurdBerglar]

i wanted an assassin the kill my brother

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

I always wanted an Oscar Meyer weenie whistle.
and one of those things that you sat on and spun yourself around and around.
And one of those sweet big wheels. Damn I would have killed for a big wheel.

[TurdBerglar]

that super soaker with the water pack you strapped to your back!

[TurdBerglar]

well i have never nearly died

for my 8th birthday i remember getting the one that had a tank you attached to your hip AND a reserve on your back and it had a headpiece with a microphone that you yelled FIRE FIRE FIRE (or anything, really) into and it shot from your headpiece straight in front of you...about four feet

IT WAS AWESOME

[TurdBerglar]

bitch

[cosmo105]

yeah, that was probably the most amazing toy i ever had.

i remember really really wanting a pottery wheel, and one birthday i got a crappy motorized kids' one, and it was really loud and sucked and came with shitty clay...i ended up just making a crappy pitcher with my hands and the wheel never came out of the closet again

i REALLY wanted those blocks they used to advertise all the time, that linked together...can't remember the name, but they came with glow in the dark ones! holy shit.

[TurdBerglar]

flexi blocks?

[cosmo105]

OH MY GOD YES

they were probably really horrible quality but by god i wanted them

[TurdBerglar]

i had them

the only thing good about them was that you could make tank tracks with them.

Dude! I had the same problem with the blue generic Cobra guys! On TV there were hundreds but I only had one....why didn't my mom understand that??!!

[tracky]

we had a trampolne. man that ruled Yeah seriously man you missed out there. I think it's almost like aussie tradition to have a trampoline. Or maybe not? I dunno but I remember many years spent on that thing. And the kids down the road had one between the tree house cubby and the pool. Suprisingly I don't remember any serious injuries from that...

I always just wanted more marbles, bigger marbles and better marbles. there was one kid who had the ballbearing out of fuck knows what, but it was at least a couple of inches across. he never played it but that was probably like the ultimate steely. Anyone else remember galaxies? *reminisces*

On a similar note to marbles was the yo-yos - but not to as big a degree. There was all sorts of different ones but I seem to recall something about glowing coca-cola yo-yos. Nice marketing boys

Radio controlled cars. I still do. I want remote control everything. They used to race them in the car park of the local supermarket on sundays (shops open sunday now) and that was something I aspired to. Unfortunately an expensive aspiration. I had a few cars, the one I remember the most was called a Hornet. Took a stack of AA batteries and they ran out in minutes

Looking back I had a pretty fulfilling childhood, most of the things I wanted I could live without and most of the things I had were enough. Of course I would've loved to have built a scalectrix track around the entire shed, but covering the ping pong table was plenty. Just like I would've loved more technics lego. mechano was aight too, built some killer cranes

More pizza

Well as a Canadian kid I wanted a gun,cause that what just never gonna happen.....I would have settled for a Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!....but noooooo....someone might have put their eye out!......

"Funny. As a little kid I always wanted a brother. I told that to Mom once. She said, 'You have a brother.' I said, 'Oh -- that's who
the asshole in the other bed is!'"

[icy manipulator]

i had a mini dirt bike when i was 5, burnt the shit out of my leg on the exhaust when i was 8. now i've got a proper one and they're still fucking fun

[jabumbo]

i always wanted a pool table, even though i knew it wouldnt have fit in my house. so my parents got me this mini fisher price one that was like 3 feet long. it was awesome, but still no real deal.


i also remember going to my cousins house and playing with gi joes in the creek and always losing them in the water. then coming home and wishing i had gi joes, and then the next day being plenty happy with the lot of tmnt's i had

[roosta]

gameboy
turtles van
ghostbusters car
x-wing

[cookiepuss]

I got just about everything I ever wanted as a kid. it's really made for a very dissapointing adulthood.

[paul jones]

also I always wanted all the wacky races cars with characters in them but wasn't sure if there were any out there

[GreenEarthAl]

I spent my whole childhood wishing they would invent Star Wars Lego sets.

When I grew up and they finally invented them I was perturbed.

[Helvete]

One of those hoverboards from Back to the Future 2.

Painfully informed they weren't actually real.

[TurdBerglar]

i remember all my friends trying to convince me they were real.


NO NO! THEY MADE THEM ILLEGAL BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO DANGEROUS! BUT THEY DO EXIST! MY COUSIN GOT ONE FROM THIS GUY! PAID A 1000 DOLLARS FOR IT! SERIOUSLY!

[MC Moot]

I also always wanted a Green Machine but alas was relagated to the Big Wheel.....
