Crossbows and Catapults

Still have a mint condition one in my cupboard.

Hours of fun on that, I think I might still have it back home

I think everyone wanted a Mr Frosty but most didn't get it. If they had though the makers would have been Billionaires

I was really into Transformers and sooo wanted Optimus Prime.

ive still got that, minus the box of course

I wanted a mr frosty to! never got one

Also wanted the M.A.S.K toys because my friend had them but never got them

I got some transformers though so that makes up for it

Pretty sure I still have my M.A.S.K toys somewhere, if i find them, you can have them!

I ALWAYS wanted one of those motorized car's that you could actualy sit in and drive. I knew a kid who had one and I was so jealous. My children will have one!

With tipper trailer?!

I've got both Big Trak and Tipper boxed in my mum's loft. She was going to give it to the local charity shop the other day but luckily phoned me up before going near it. Along with that was my subbuteo collection, TCR, Hornby train set and 2000AD comic collection!!!! Needless to say she got her ear bent and i'm planning on taking it all away this Xmas back to my house!

It's that time of the year again, so for anyone who missed this thread a couple of years ago I am resurrecting it.

Some great stuff in here...

the only thing i can ever remember really wanting was one of those buggy things that you could drive around.

oh and this.

jackthezipper · 16 Dec 2012 at 13:24

but the year I wanted it I got this instead.

Although mines was all black, can't find a pic though. Was happy enough but the tank looked bad ass.

I always wanted Tin Can Alley but never got it , found out years later it was just a light beam and you could set them cans all off with a torch (i think i thought it shot them off)
