Toy's you've always wanted but never got (back in the day)

[generic]

There are a lot, but these would be at the top of my list:

Mego 12" KISS!!!!! These guys are 100% what made me first go to ebay. I still remember the day that I saw them at the Toy Store and asked my dad if I could get one and he said no.

Any of the 12" G.I. Joes (I didn't know the difference between the military and AT at the time, but I would have loved to have had any of them). And on a related note, the G.I. Joe footlocker.

WGSH Megos that I wanted because I saw them in Comic Book ads or at a friend's house, but I never found in the stores:

Joker (No question, he was THE one I really wanted)
Aquaman (I don't know why he was so high up on my list as a kid)
Riddler
Lizard
Green Goblin
Conan

9" Remco Wolf Man

All of the 3 3/4 Remco Monsters

[kingdom warrior]

Lynda Carter......still Haven't gotten it....

[Random Axe]

Darkon from the Super Joe line.

My friend had one and I always wanted my own. I had the Shield and Luminos, so I wasn't exactly deprived. Darkon is still on my most wanted list, but finding one that isn't in pieces is a pipe dream.

Mego Fantastic Four, I had the Torch but never got the others. Mego green Goblin, Conan and the Super Gals. I made it my mission as an adult collector to get them all.

Also always wanted Castle Greyskull for the He Man line. It was just so cool looking.

[Raydeen1]

SOooooooo many.

Of the top of my head:

Batmobile and Exploding Bridge.
Batcopter
Most of the WGSH (I only had Batman, Robin, Superman, Hulk, GA, Catwoman, Penguin, JOker and Falcon. Batgirl was #2 on my want list.
Micronauts: Centaurus, Lobros, Kronos.
MANY Star Wars figures and ships, notably the 13" Boba Fett.
Atomic Man (I had one for a day before my cousin broke his arm off and didn't get a replacement until I was around 25)
Mego Apes (Had them for a short time and always wanted replacements but never got them)
Shogun Warriors (I had Mazinga and my friend gave me his Raydeen but I wanted ALL of them! lol)
So many more but the #1 toy I wanted as a kid and never got though Mom and I both tried for years....RC Batman! I would've traded every other toy I owned to get him and that is NOT an exaggeration.

WGSH Green Goblin: There wer eothers I wanted but as a devoted Spidey fan he was THE one. Unfortunatelty was gone from stores by the time I wanted him.

Star Wars standard white Tie Fighter: The reason I didn't get this was simple. I had already received the Darth Vader tie as an X-mas gift so parents didn't see why I needed one. The talking Imperial Troop transport would be my runner up.

Other WGSH: Cap, Joker, Penguin, Riddler, Robin, The Thing

G.I. Joe VAMP. On one family vacation my aunt & uncle bought my cousin this at a Jamesway and I wanted one of my own badly. Years later they produced a VAMP II by which time I think I had an after school job so I bought it, But it wasn't the same.

I'll say the Hippity Hop was something that I was always said no to, also. Part of that might have been because we lived in an apartment. Rich mentioned Mouse Trap and that was one game that I was told I would just get frustrated with.

I wanted that game so bad. It always looked so cool on the commercials but I never, ever got it. In fact I've still never played it and I never even bought it for my kids.
I've heard that it's actually kind of boring and it takes forever to set up for the few seconds of fun you get once you actuate all the little mechanisms.

we love MouseTrap here. Play it at least once a week and never tire of setting it up and letting it go. I recall doing the same with my sister when we were kids. I don't know if we even rolled the dice half of the time, just wanted to see the contraption.

There was a similar game made by Ideal called Crazy Clock with the same sort of Goldbergian wacko contraption building. We don't have it, but it looks like fun to me.

We loved Mousetrap as kids. We played with it for hours. I think it was our neighbor's game. I bought the game for my kids a few years ago and now I really hate it. Too many parts and lots of things have gotten lost. I may have already chucked it.

We also lived in an apartment, so that Hippity Hop was not possible.

I lived in an apartment in NYC, and I had a Hoppity Hop, (w/ a slow leak). I guess my mom was more tolerant. I also had a scooter and I wasn't allowed to take either one outside (lest some mean kid would swipe it), so I just rode them in the house.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I wanted a motorbike so bad.

[MightyMegs]

WGSH Joker and Jokermobile
StarTrek TMP bridge playset
Buck Rogers Starfighter

All I've managed to get so far, is a Joker... but I love him (you might think it sacrilidge, but I swapped his T2 bod with a white DrMego bod, so I can play with him and have no fear of breaking).

[Gorn Captain]

A girlfriend and Shogun Godzilla.
Both to play with....
