My fantasy is that my girlfriend was actually a young high school girl.
Going off topic, I got one of these one xmas (it was way better built though, looked like a real snowmobile). Was the best present ever, I don't know how my mother managed to get this in Communist Poland on a single parent waitress salary. Only downside was I couldn't go out by myself as it was so heavy, so I was sitting in the living room pretending I am outside in the snow.

That goddamn GI Joe aircraft carrier from the 80s
It wouldn't have fit anywhere in our house, and I wasnt into GI Joe, but boy did I want it for all of my Ninja Turtle figures.

Man I wanted that Optimus so bad. With the sick trailer and everything. But it was crazy expensive.
Kid in my class got him, spoiled little shit.
My elder bro had that. I believe he took it to school and someone stole it.
I remember seeing that around the house as a kid. By the time I started remembering things some of the pieces must have gotten lost because all I remember in it was the floor and throne.Castle Grayskull
As for me, I don't remember. I'm sure there were toys and games I wanted but never got.

Luckily I never saw it as a child. It looks like every 8 year old's dream toy.

It kinda was next to an NES at the time. The "bad" kid in my neighborhood had it so I pretended to be his a friend for the day a couple times just so I could check it out. He was one of those kids where the house had a basement that was converted into a playroom so there was a ton of room for it. The thing was amazing.

Never had a game console. When I was 3 yrs old we had a Magnavox Odyssey, but I was too little for it and apparently we only had it for about a month. Dad got rid of it because my two older sisters only played with it for a couple of days. From then on, whenever I asked if we could get an Atari 2600, Intellivision, Colecovision, etc. my parents always said, "No, no, no way, we had one of those things once and nobody played with it, all it did was collect dust in the living room. We'll never get another one of those expensive pieces of junk." I lost interest anyway when I hit puberty, but right after graduating college I bought an SNES for purposes of establishing credit. After just few minutes of Super Mario World, I was re-addicted and have been ever since.

I'm slowly being convinced you're my gaming doppelganger. Same here mate, never owned a Mega Drive, always had to crash a mates house to play Altered Beasts, James Pond, Shinobi, Golden Axe II, MKII etc. Never cared for Sonic games, not my thing.

I can't begin to express just how big this thing was. I didn't have this but I briefly met a kid who did as I was dragged along with my mother as she gave a Tupperware party. I played with the hostess' son who was my age and he had about everything, including this. I marveled at it as it was huge. He also had Ultra Magnus so it was the first time I saw the white Optimus Prime cab. However the biggest jaw drop was he had one of these:
When it stood on end it was taller than either of us.

Never got it. Thank god. When the internet came about, I checked it out and it turns out it was total dogshit.

OK, something popped into my head. Not exactly a toy but an accessory for RC cars. I remember the commercials which advertised the accessory battery packs. Slap them in and were greeted with an increasing bar graph going from green, to yellow and then to red. Chain lightning and MORE POWER. Why would I have not desired one?
