What toy did you want but didn't get for Christmas?

Was there a special toy you really wanted but never got for Christmas?

I always wanted an electronic toy called Merlin and you could play games on it. I never got one because it was too expensive but I asked for probably 3 years straight for it.

I wanted a violin and never got one.

Tragic eh?

I had one of those. They were pretty cool, at least by the standards of the day.

I don't drive but I would love to have one of those. [MENTION=93]king of the unknown[/MENTION] can drive it. Right?

If I have the keys there is precisely 0% chance of anyone except me driving it

My brother and I were pretty fortunate growing up as far as gifts. We got some pretty cool stuff (loved the Atari 2600!!). In today's dollars it would be about $700 new. I also recall getting the John Lennon/Yoko Ono "Double Fantasy" record from my grandmother. When she bought it she felt lucky since it was the last one in the store. A guy behind her in line offered to pay her double so he could have it instead. She said "no" and wondered why someone would do that. When she got to the car she found out on the news that John Lennon had been shot that day.

As for what I wanted but never got - 'Simon'. Why that was so objectionable I'll never know.
