The toy that never was

^^ I had that

I always wanted a toy oil rig. I dunno why.

Funnily enough, I never got one.

Just so i could talk into the snakes head microphone thingy

I remember having that when I was a kid.

Never had a Mr Frosty though, which is what I always wanted

I had thought I was alone and everyone else had one but it appears not

I can imagine that no toy with a name like that would be allowed today.

It has strange connotations.

Subuteo - I can remember going round my mates and playing it all the time but my parents never got me it.

Well, I had everything above (bar the oil rig

). Plus all the starwars vehicles and charactors, a 25 metre sxalextric with 15 different cars, a megadrive and a SNES

I was a spoilt brat I suppose.

However there was always one dream toy which I never got which every kid nowadays seems to have. My neice's have 2!

No Megadrive though

I asked for one of them and got a Master system II instead

I'm amazed the number of people who wanted one but didn't have a Mr Frosty, yet Fisher Price still sell them.

Fisher Price CEO:

"We're going to keep making them until someone buys one, I don't care if it takes 30 years god damn it"

I guess the "demand" has always been high even if the sales were not

A raleigh Vecta bike, it was the white one with the radio on and everything, however there is no mention of it anywhere.

Was there a black one too called something like a firefox that had a sound box on it?

Swear everyone I knew had one of these, but I was never allowed.

Ricochet J · 1 Sep 2006 at 14:22

I always wanted a huge K'nex set. But I never got one

I remember bugging my mum 3 months before Christmans. Then I never got it

Then I bugged her 3 months before my birthday. But I still never got it

You mean Alex Kidd?

A bike, I never had one growing up. My dad forbid me having one saying they are dangerous even thou where i grew up was this village with no roads inside the village, there was zero chance of getting run over. I ended up learning how to ride a bike on a neighbour's and my cousin's bike. So last month I saved up and got myself one to make up for the childhood dream.

Mr Frosty

My mum once got me a keyboard even when I said I didn't want one.
