  • Best toy you NEVER had

    What toy did you feel cheated/deprived/life ruined forever by not receiving it? I still feel aggrieved that I never got Mr Frosty, Mousetrap or one of those little Cadbury chocolate machines you put 2ps in! I also remember hating my cousin with a passion cause she had a Girls World and I didn't

      I did have a Mr.Frosty and he was indeed pants,the syrup was to weak, may as well just suck Ice.
      i always wanted perfection,the day we went to buy it, they had none in stock, so ended up with numbers up.

        I also never got Speak and Spell, apparently I was "good at spelling" and "didn't need it", I think there was a maths version of this as well, never got that either!:cry:

          I had one of those chocolate machines, good for about 10 minutes until all the chocolate was gone. I think every kid in the world must have wanted a Mr Frosty - i didn't get one either.

                  Always wanted a Pink Panther car - the one designed by Bob Reisner with a ripcord. Now I'm married and, of course, am not allowed one. NOT FAIR! :cry:

                    I thought that was a picture of a vacuum cleaner! Maybe your spouse will let you have one of them instead.

                      I always wanted a scooter. An ordinary, Tri-ang foot powered scooter.
                      Along came Christmas and my mum brought out my brand new CHAIN POWERED Tri-ang Delux Scooter. She had skrimped and saved for it and it had taken a lot of doing as we were a one parent family.
                      Ungrateful little s-d as I was, I HATED it. It was heavy and I couldn't pedal the thing fast enough. I've always been small (I'm five foot one and a dog end now) and I was left miles behind. I tried to swap it but nobody would have it. Ah well, that's life.

                        So many things I wanted but never had -

                        Haunted House board game
                        Radar Search game
                        Action Man Scorpion Tank

                        but I think the best toy I never had has to be a Vertibird!

                          I had a Mr Frosty & yes it was such a let down, you had to turn a handle to crush the ice, but it used to grate the plastic too, so you end up with a nasty weak version of a slush puppie full of threads of plastic! Gross!

                          I always wanted a "Grifter" bike like George from the Famous Five and a punchball on a stand, but being a girl neither were deemed suitable! Although after much begging I did get a "Stretch X-Ray" one christmas, it was like a "Stretch Armstrong" but you could see through to it's guts! That was great!

                              I got a brilliant toy for christmas when I was about 9 or 10. It was a silver utility-type belt (battery operated) with buttons that made bleeping noises, a laser (looking) gun attached with a curly cord, that also made bleeping and laser gun noises. It may have also had a micorphone (like a cabbie's radio) that you could talk into and a holster attatched to the belt to put the gun in. Looked very space-agey and was well cool. Can't remember what happened to it now though.

                              Might have a photo at home with me wearing it, I'll try and dig it out. If anyone could help finding out what it was called or find photo's that'd be great.
