That Christmas Present everyone else had but you didn't

With Chrimbo just around the corner (no, really!? ) was there ever a present or toy that you always wanted as a kiddie (or indeed an adult) that everyone else seemed to have (and that you wanted) but you never had yourself?

For me it was the Evel Knievel Stunt Bike - you know the one where you hand to frantically wind up the handle on the side of a big red docking station before releasing the bike in all its glory?

Oh and I always wanted a Mr Frosty ice slush maker too, another childhood dream never fulfilled!

What were the toys you never got?

I'm even over the fact that my mum gave away all my Transformers to a charity shop 'cos she thought I didn't play with them.

I'm even over the (extensive) Lego castle I sunk 10 years of pocket money in to that my parents carelessly left in the shed and was ruined by rats and chicken shit.

It's just stuff.

You must be the only one who ever did! I wanted one of those too.

I was desperate for one of the yellow Sony Walkman Sports.

I honestly can't remember if my friends got stuff I wanted but didn't have. I do know that Christmas 1966 was the year of the blue anorak with tartan lining and blue ski pants gift, I thought my life would never get better than that
