What was the one toy you wanted as a kid that your parents never bought you?

Palitoy-speeder-boxed

The Palitoy Star Wars land speeder for my Star Wars action figures.

I wanted this toy so much that it hurt, but I never got it.

Even getting the Millennium Falcon a few years later didn't make up for this. Ah, well.

Star Wars here too - my friend had a huge cardboard 3D Death Star and I wanted one terribly!

Ah, yes. Rory down the street had one of those. It always slightly annoyed me, because it was really obviously too small. The X-Wing I had was nearly as big!

I was a slightly over-serious child...

Aww man, my younger brother had one of these things, back in about 78, along with the four action figures to go with it (Luke, Obi-Wan, C-3PO and R2-D2). It was pretty cool. I haven't thought about it in years and years.
