I had Mousetrap but no-one to play it with

And I always wanted a Mr Frosty and a SodaStream. Never got either.

But I REALLY wanted a Snes since I got a Nes when I was like 3.

Google Images.

It was actually originally on the Greenpeace site.

Linky.

that more or less the sort of thing I wanted in my bedroom, obviously in scaled down form. Would probably have been messy, had any toy manaufacturers made one.

What is the one childhood toy that you wanted but you never got?

For me and strangely I found out last night my girlfriend it was Mr Frosty!

I had one of those and LOVED it!

Right if i was in the marketing department of the company that made "Mr Freakign Frosty" i would immediately release a speical "20 somethings IT proffesionals edition"

I think it would make a killing RRP £30 lol

KingDing · 1 Sep 2006 at 14:56

I never really wished for anything, but I remember some spiderman stuff I wanted.

But then the Eid after Ramadan I got a Knight Rider RC Car. The thing was huge

. However, I messed it up the same day.
