[Closed] Toys that you wanted but didn’t get

Had lots of fun with my Millenium Falcon and X-wing - as said above I also loved the smell! Action Man I also loved, especially my SAS set with the powered dingy and the pop on tent. Mask toys were okay but I think I was on the cusp of growing out of that type of toy.

Bigfoot was good and I enjoyed it, but it wasn't as good as it looked!

Really wanted the Lego car chassis - had a reasonable amount of Technic, but none of the really big sets like that. Loved my dune buggy and motorbike sets, but preferred the universal sets and being creative.

Just back from Slim Jr's first trip to Hamleys.. Inspired by the recent toy/tamiya threads

What do you get [s]yourself[/s] him?

Mamod steam engine - my wifebought me one for my 40th.

Harry The Spider I had one of those Eagle's and killed my Big Trak by leaving batteries in it that leaked all over one of the circuit boards 🙁

I also wanted a Raleigh Burner in blue. I think not getting one is what lead me into the downfall of mountain bikes.

I had one of those Eagle's

Still got it?

I've been bidding on ebay for them but they go for daft money.

HtS - have my name on a birfday unimog. And/or a great big Lego technic Merc truck

Unfortunately no 🙁 Wish I still had my SHADO 2 mobile and Interceptor looking at ebay prices.

Wanted this

Got this instead:

So made 'PEYEEEEWwwwWOOSH' noises instead of 'VRooOOOOMM' ones.

Why does it say "SHAGG" on it?

I recognise that ship actually - it's from a movie (only in white) I think. Can't quite place it though.

Got it. It's from UFO.

Ah - it says SHADO doesn't it...!

The other thing that I want is one of these…[img] [/img]but looking at the going price I’d have to sell a bike to afford it.

I'm sure you could pick up[url= http://www.scifiairshow.com/#!commercial/ctzx ]a fixer upper[/url] 🙂

Wanted Castle Grayskull but didn't get it.
Also, wanted a 1000 piece jigsaw, but got a 750g box of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes.

Millennium falcon for me too.
Luckily I owned the Evel Kineval stunt bike AND his rocket bike.
Spoiled brat or what?!

I sold my eagle transporter on ebay a few years ago, no box though and scratched up a fair bit but it still dropped the centre pod and the sprung landing gear worked, i got £35 or £45 for it so i was chuffed.

A boy down the road had one and he hated it after a while.

My brother had a Mamod steam engine but he hardly used it in favour of playing with a full sized Fowler (this one) that lived at the farm across the road [url= http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/engines/fowler/general-purpose-engine/14012/89/ ]lord of the isles[/url]

Had to settle with making one out of lego.

I wanted a Scalextric but my mum said no, because it was "for boys". I also wanted a BMX and she said the same thing about that

Wow what a thread. I wanted a lot of things as most kid do and being the only son with three sisters I did get spoilt . That said not half as much as my neighbour who had every new star wars figure or model as soon as they came out. Always wanted a bigtrac, funny how something with I think it was 8 batteries would go flat in about half hour . My favourite toy was evel knievel stunt bike. Always wanted tamiya models but a little to expensive I was told.

Hankered after the Evel Knievel stuff, but had to play with a mate's until he trashed it.

I've been bidding on ebay for them but they go for daft money.

Well I can only now assume that I was spoiled rotten. I had the lot - train set, Scalextric (with Goodwood chicane), nice bike, Action Man with Space Capsule, Lego (from Germany before it was widely known in the UK), Meccano. Oh and my first car!

I really, really wanted a pair of chelsea boots.
