you can still buy this model

Damn. About 14 years too late....still better late than never.

I might actually try and buy that, just so I can say to the family, "Look, I finally got my oil rig".

I did get several technic sets though, including a yellow 4x4 off road rally thing that I loved, which were just so fantastic and all in all a brilliantly versitile toy

That the one with the V6 in the front? You could make it into a truck too which was better imho. I had the Technic Seaplane, that was very cool. Never did get the pneumatic JCB though

I also never got a Lego electric train set even though I asked for one every brithday and christmas for about 5 years.

*heads off in the direction of ebay with a credit card in hand*

My kingdom to the man who can remember the name of that Robot that could 'serve' you drinks

The one I remeber serving drinks was the big bro to the Omnibot - Omnibot 2000.

The lttle guy could bring you drinks, but not pour them.

This was the holy grail though. Both me and my brother really wanted one of these and we'd play then in game shops for ages

My cousin had one of these, i remember playing on columns on it for a summer holiday when i stayed at their place.

This was before the Sega handheld - the Atari Lynx. I remeber spending too much time playing Shadow of the Beast on one in the shops. Parralax scrolling was state of the art back then!

Some of you should really go have a look at the big retro console thread in consoles and games

Time for a girly answer....

My Little Pony Dreamcastle.

I asked for it every year - never ever got it, despite owning around 50 of the ponies!

I so wanted one of these.

I remember it being in Debenhams, and every Saturday I would go and have a look at it.

Also one of these was high on my list. Never got one

I really wanted one of them, every time we went into John Lewis it mocked me

I eventually picked up it's little brother at a carboot for a tenner but it wasn't the same

(I finally threw it out last year).

The other one I wanted was

I had Krark, Gore and the rhino one but not Zilla :-(

Mister Frosty he's so fun, he makes treats for everyone!

I wanted, and still do want one.

Think of how useful it would be on your desk, or in the event of a nuclear fallout or something, you just HAVE to have one.
