What Was The One Childhood Toy You Never Had? - JDF - 02-07-2011
There were a lot of toys that I wish I had when I was a kid. The G.I.Joe Aircraft Carrier absolutely tops the list. That was thee toy to have in the 80's. Every kid wanted it, but it was either A: Too expensive, or B: Just too freaking big.

I had alot of great things, but there wasnt just one, these are what really bugged me never getting as a kid.
One was a boardgame that was only made one year, and fetches top dollar on ebay all the time. We used to have play it at my friends, and I forgot how much fun it really is until I snagged one a few years back in mint condition for a great price.
Behold...Fireball island!

I always wanted a Photon gun set, way too much money back in the day in the Sears and JCPenny Christmas catalogue.

As far as figures go, i had a lot, but could never get my grasp or find these as a kid, some are still hard to find.

great topic, I am at work right now so I can't post a picture unfortunately. When I get home I will edit this post to have the pic. There were two toys I didn't have that I wanted and I still don't have in my collection right now. The Jurassic Park Compound and the Jurassic Park Jungle Explorer. I am always looking for them.

Wow, I remember Fireball Island!
Considering I started the topic, I feel the right to post another toy I never got.
I always wanted the original Lazer Tag set.

The Super Soaker CPS 2000 MK1

I remember when I use to go out in the summer and have huge water fights my best friend had that bad boy. He pretty much annihilated everyone with that gun. Not only did the stream go very far but it was powerful. So powerful in fact that there were complaints about kids eye's getting hurt which led to them being recalled and them making a less powerful version.
I also wanted this but never got it. Till this day I wonder how the drinks tasted.

These are great guys. I always wanted the air craft carrier and the Alien figure. Other then those, the one game I always wanted was one my best friend (at the time) had.
I wanted to play it every time I went over his house.
