What was the one toy you wanted as a kid that your parents never bought you?
Submitted by Princess of Darkness.
When I was growing up, the moms didn't let me have toy guns. This extended to the original Megatron Transformer, which I got for my fifth birthday and didn't even get out of the package before the moms saw to it that it "disappeared." This was during the 80s, so with Reaganomics and military buildup in full swing, toy guns underwent a resurgence that we'll probably never see the likes of again. There were battery operated waterguns that were mocked up to look like Uzis and rocket launchers, cap guns that actually had a muzzle flash, pump action shotguns that fired ping pong balls -- truly, it was a great time to be a child.
And I missed out.
