Your "vintage" Xmas wishlist?

[nvmbrsdoom5]

I wish that I could find some of the old wishlists that I wrote for Xmas when I was a kid. There are certain toys I clearly remember asking for and/or getting but I wish I could once again read those lists.
I've been spending Christmas Eve afternoon looking at old Sears wishbooks online, thinking about the toys I received as Xmas gifts all those years ago. Some of them I have since purchased again as an adult collector, but many of them I still don't have. And buying them for yourself off of Ebay or something obviously isn't quite the same sensation as finding them wrapped under the tree waiting for you like when you were young!
So what toys that you remember getting for Xmas all those years ago would you wish to find under the tree for you now, if it were possible?

Obviously my list could be a mile long but I'm keeping it short-

Fisher Price Little People Garage (#930)

Star Wars Sears exclusive Cantina Playset (w/ Blue Snaggletooth)

Star Wars ESB Imperial Attack Base

Shogun Warriors Raydeen

Weebles Haunted House

G.I. Joe Sears Exclusive Cobra Missle Command Center Playset

[EmergencyIan]

Two things that come to mind right away are: A Pocket Flix with a Spiderman reel & the Star Wars 12" Ben Kenobi, Chewbacca and Luke Skywalker. There are many more that I could add to the list, but those came to mind first, especially the 12 inch Star Wars figures.

There's things I got for xmas that, although I wouldn't actively seek them out for my collection, The thought of them brings back great x-mas memories-
a yo-yo ball thing that lit up in the dark,
a sticky rubber octopus that you threw at the wall and it climbed down,
a bigfoot type monster truck that had claws that came out of the wheels.

I think the only toy I asked for that I didn't get was DISSECT AN ALIEN, probably didn't get it because of a bad experience of getting the original Mattel slime all over my grandmas carpet.

Oh man I remember being really jazzed about getting that 12" IG-88 for Xmas! That's a good pick.

And I was just thinking about that Fleetwood Ghost Rider earlier today. Someday I'll get one of those again.

The Sears exclusive toys were always a big highlight for me each year, I always got them from my grandparents because they did most of their shopping through the Sears catalog.
