ITT: That toy you always wanted as a kid but never got.
Do you have it now?
Not really interested in MMPR anymore so no I don't have it now
This motherfucker.
Finally got the Platinum reissue and my collection feels more complete.
Dinoriders Brontosaurus was what I always grew up wanting. Now I own it. And you?
>>5278586
Still don't have Titanus. Not a huge priority anymore.
>>5278586
Shit, I was just looking looking for a relevant pic of Brontosaurus. Or this guy.
I'll keep with the combining robot theme and throw these in.
I can't even find them nowadays, I only find the shitty budget versions. Hell, this was the only relatively decent picture I could find of them.
This. Still don't have it.
>>5278645
I still kind of want this.
This was a grail of mine back when I was a kid. Bought it off eBay a few months ago because nostalgia.
One issue is I've seen its really prone to yellowing like pic related and worse so I'm kind hesitant to even open the plastic bag it came in, let alone display it.
>>5278743
Yellowing almost works for it since Predators are already kind of weird. I loved the Predator toys as a kid, though. Just hated that some of them had terrible articulation.
My childhood Falcon was/were a Space 1999 Eagle or my favorite stuffed animal depending on my mood.
I eventually got the 90s reissue but all it really does is take up space.
>>5278582
>>5278584
I still have both of those, here they are with Samurai Clusterfuckzord.
Can't really think of anything I really wanted as a kid that I don't have right now.
>>5278637
>tfw you got a set of these in great condition for relatively cheap back when eBay wasn't the complete shithole it is now
Less protection but way better deals
Probably this.
My 12-year-old self would be happy to know that I got the HMM version eventually.
Nowadays I think it is smarter to just wait for a reissue and/or modern update of a childhood toy rather than hunting down for a 20, 30 years old one.
With that said, I got a bunch of Kenner Aliens toys a few years ago. I'm sure NECA will make those like the Predators but I don't care.
The big one for me is the Dairenoh and really happy it is getting a Legacy release.
This guy. Got him from a friend a few years ago, just wish there was a better version of WereGarurumon out there.
>>5278862
Or most of Digimon in general
>>5278584
I finally got that toy when it was re-released back in 2013. Feels good bro.
Barbie Dream House. I now own five (they regularly make new ones, which aren't really THAT new but I'm overcompensating for my lost youth so fuck it).
>tfw huge Barbie collection to make up for poorfag youth
Y-you guys do this too with your old favorite toys, right?
>>5278928
My dad burned my vintage power rangers stuff in a bonfire when I was a kid. Like the first 3 megazords plus all my other toys.
I'm pretty sure I'm compensating for something.
>>5278928
>Y-you guys do this too with your old favorite toys, right?
I do with games.
There aren't many specific toys I wanted as a kid, I had broad interests like buying anything that was a dinosaur.
>>5279195
>My dad burned my vintage power rangers stuff in a bonfire when I was a kid. Like the first 3 megazords plus all my other toys.
Some of you have some of the most terrible parents ever, holy shit.
Motherfucking THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS
Also no
>>5279287
>Playsets are so out of fashion that we'll never, ever get anything like this ever again.
>>5278928
I wonder about that sometimes, but I try to make a direction behind my collection. I had a period where I was just buying to buy though and boy has my collection suffered for it.
>>5278582
RID Landfill. Never got him back then because Hasbro never exported them in my country, only OP, Ultra Magnus, Megatron, the Autobot Brothers, Spychangers and the Ruination limbs (but not Mega-Octane).
In 2010 BBTS had the single carded Takara releases for 10 bucks each, so I immediately bought them.
>>5278928
>>5279195
>>5279248
>I'm overcompensating for my lost youth
I guess me too.
>My dad burned my vintage power rangers stuff in a bonfire when I was a kid. Like the first 3 megazords plus all my other toys.
That is terrible, my father never give a fuck when I was a kid, welp he is not so bad, but is a cheap bastard and never bought me a good toy, his excuse was always "not enough money" but while spending a small fortune in bitches and paying rounds in the local pubs.
>>5278862
Fuck I had this guy when I was a kid and I want him so much. I see him on Mandarake occasionally but nothing for a price I'm willing to pay. I wish Bandai would make make D-arts/Figuarts of something that wasn't an ultimate level Digimon.
>>5278928
>Y-you guys do this too with your old favorite toys, right?
Yes except I'm still a poorfaggot.
You bet your sweet ass I did.
I'm not even a Transformers collector, but hot damn, Beast Wars is some good 90's shit.
>>5278637
You should probably look into the Gridman and Thunder Gridman Ultra-Acts. They have a weird, pseudo combining gimmick.
>>5278796
I'm happy it's getting a legacy release too but $200? Even Titanus wasn't that much. Unfortunately, I'm probably going to have to pass just cause it's way too much for this.
>>5278928
I do, I compensate with Pokémon stuff I never managed to get as a kid. Recently just finished collecting the Gen 1 cards and all the games up to Gen 3; my mom washed away 3 full decks of cards when I was a kid and my sister lost my Game Boy Pocket at a party a week or two after that.
There's just too much stuff for me to really collect though and my favorite Pokémon, Porygon2, doesn't have much stuff which makes it rare and expensive as hell.
as for toys I wanted as a kid, there weren't many, I usually got by with little toy soldiers and Hot Wheels that I carried in my pockets. Only toy I did have and that got lost was the MMPR Power Axe: I went to the thrift shop with my parents and found one there, bought it with the money I had saved up. I loved playing with it but I lost it in the move to where we live now (over 16 years ago)
Maybe one day I'll buy it but I don't even know where to look for one
>>5279473
I'm glad they made it, but was a little sad the actual Gridman figure looked odd.
>>5279290
The pain
>>5279682
That adorable helicarrier
>>5279586
I fully expect plenty of sales. It'll be at least $100 at some point. Every Legacy zord barring the original got a significant pricecut at some point.
Back when Power Rangers first came to the US, I had both the Dragonzord and Titanus, but no Megazord to combine them with. I came close once, but I acted up in TRU and my mom was looking for any excuse to not get it. Long story short, my dad accidentally donated all my ranger stuff, and now I have three OG Megazords in varying condition some 20 years later. I'm hoping to one day at least collect the Zords from season one and In Space. I don't really care for Power Rangers anymore, but the nostalgia for those Zords is fuckin' strong.
Was obsessed with the '89 Batmobile as a kid during mid-90s Canada. Was born in '89, and by the time I was really conscious of toys in '94; stuff from even the '92 movie weren't around in my area anymore. Recently been going through old Betas and VHS that show how crushed I got... It's not fun.
So was stuck hoping to get lucky at garage sales, two times I found it. First one the boy kept raising the price on my dad, to the point he just walked away(don't blame him since I remember the snot upped the price to $60...) With the last one the teen(11-14?) just did not want to give it up actually, think he was being forced to sell his toys as a punishment; as he ended up running back in the house with it crying after he was showing off the gimmicks. Did not wanna make the older kid cry even more, so let it go; after my dad calmed me down.
Kinda gave up on toys after that in '98, and just had fun with scale models with my grandfather for a long while; eventually looping back into the toys in this hobby.
So went without as a kid yeah, but got to make up for it later; with something even greater I feel hahaha!
>>5278633
This so hard. Dinoriders was the coolest fucking non Transformers toy line. I should go back and buy them all right now. I don't know if it's nostalgia goggles or what but nothing out right now is as cool as fucking Dinoriders. The 80s and 90s were the perfect time for new toy lines, everything since 2002 has been trash.
Well Dinoriders has been optioned as a motion picture so who knows how this franchise may grow. New merchandise?
>>5280641
You could try, but because of the multitude of small parts, finding complete Dino Riders toys is a very expensive thing.
>>5279586
Picked up Tit anus for $99 last xmas from TRU. Going to wait on this guy along with Black Zord to go on sale while my points stack up.
>>5278637
I actually got the vehicle combiner for Christmas one year, then picked up the central guy (devoid of his accessories) from a garage sale a year later...
They had the dinosaur cannon thing too, but my father didn't realize they ALL combined together.
Rectified that recently when he picked me up the Samurai Bull Zord from another garage sale and mentioned they "had a couple of other ones."
I got almost the ENTIRETY of the Gigazord, the only bits I'm missing are the Samurai Megazord's Sword (Kid still had the regular helmet, but not THE DAMN SWORD!) the Tiger Zord's Helmet Crest/Tail, and the top fin of the Shark Zord.
Always wanted the Shockblast transformer from the Energon series as. Don't have anywhere to put it now so I don't see the point in getting it. Also kinda wanted Scorponok but now that I look at it, it's pretty ugly. Would love to get Cybertron-line Megatron, though.
I lost my Downshift from the Cybertron line a few years ago. Easily my favorite. Simple and the vehicle looked awesome. No idea what happened to it.
>>5278645
I used that fucker for all my adventures. I took the dome parts off and it was just this big tank base thing all my toys used. Spider-man, beast wars, everyone used it, it was the tits.
>>5278796
still have mine in storage
>>5278637
still have Servo without shield or sword in storage, the other 2 were never released in any store near me ever
>>5283243
i still have mine, but I need to find some of the extra bits that have fallen off into oblivion over the years. Picked up the legacy tigerzord cuz my nephew broke my original, hoping itd be compatible with the ninjazord, but "fuck you silly americans" bandai decided to change the scale and ports of the legacies.
>>5279599
>my mom washed away 3 full decks of cards when I was a kid
I would have washed her medication away if mine did that.
As a beast wars kids I stumbled on to this guy in the internet and wanted one pretty badly. My parents would NOT let me get one. Still don't have one.
I also always wanted one of those sentinel figures for x-men, don't have the toybiz style brick one, but I have a MU one and that'll do just fine.
>wanted the 1:8 lego ferrari, set 8674 for christmas one year
>christmas rols around, and I got like $300 worth of legos, but not the ferrari
>don't want to sound like a spoiled brat so I don't say anything about it
>years later bring it up with mom for whatever reason
>she claims I pitched a shitfit about getting it before christmas and she made sure I'd never get it
>ever
>tfw I don't even remember doing anything of the sort
>look at the prices now
>upwards of $800
JUST
I really enjoyed this show when it was out but Bandai completely bungled the toyline's distribution so that no stores anywhere near me carried the figures.
>>5284058
Also I know that picture says Irwin but every other time I've seen these toys they've had the Bandai logo in the upper right corner.
>>5278862
I have this transforming digimon guy still. He's missing his brass knuckle things but he's all there. I think he's in my closet right now about ten feet away.
>>5284058
I still have this Megaman and Rush I bought at Toys R Us as a kid.
i really don't want to brag but damn, seeing all you guys wishes i had a pretty fucking good childhood. i had 80% of the toys you guys posted in here.
though, my mom gave it all away when i got older.
I wasn't even a little kid when the original pleo came out but I was an unemployed highschooler. 8 years and college later I have my weird robotic baby dinosaur.
>>5284136
Shit forgot my image
>>5283684
Got mine with that movie Megatron two pack going on sale.
Did your parent's NOT let you have it for the sole reason it transformed into a gun?
>>5284242
pretty much, it wasnt too expensive back in 1995-97 on ebay, but it looked a gun, so the answer was no.
>>5283684
Got mine a couple years back. Box isn't in the best condition, but all the parts are there. I'm too old to play with it anyway. (yeah, who am I kidding)
Still need a G1 Soundwave, though
>>5284058
Didn't the Bomb Man from this line get pulled from stores shortly after the Oklahoma City bombings happened?
D real omnimon, got it at a good deal before ebay went to shit, happy they're making a movie accurate one, never got the shitty d-arts
>>5284438
Just got a used 84 Soundwave this summer for $20!
He looks way bigger than Megs. His legs collapse very easily sadly.
>>5283423
Still have original tigerzord that came with the plastic tiger morpher coin & white ranger figure in storage as well
>>5284887
When you mean his legs collapse easily, do you mean his reverse knee joints? I'd recommend opening the legs up and putting some clear tape around the peg each "knee" moves on. I did that with mine and his knees are nice and tight now. Just be careful with the stickers when you do, as they go over the halves of the legs (but you could always just get reprolabels to replace the old decals).
mego 12" hulk
Nope never got it
![IMG_2910[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/15z4ho6.jpg "IMG_2910[1].jpg")
Always wanted a Power Ranger helmet.
got one now.
>>5279195
Y-you, too?
I didn't get the toy itself per-say, but I got a version of it that I think my five y/o self would love a helluva lot.
>>5288370
the hasbro one is gonna be a triple changer AND hadmaster, double the autismo
>>5288384
I do love me some Autismo and friends.
Can someone post the original Autismo pic for me?
>>5288419
>>5288422
Excellent! Thank you!
>>5278633
Ohman. Ooooh man. I had a bunch of these as a kid that we found parts from recently. My brother was super into dinosaurs when I was really small, which meant that I had to be super into dinosaurs too.
We found some of the parts and pieces while I was home a couple of months ago, but none of the larger stuff. I'm so sad now.
>>5288197
>guy fawkes mask
>power rangers
>deadpool
is this quality bait or do you seriously have taste that horrible
As a kid I kinda wanted one of this...
[spoiler] I got a doll house instead...[/spoiler]
>>5288740
I had that.
My mom liked the thing more than I did. Which isn't to say I didn't like it, but that sure was a shock to see my mother more into a toy than I was.
>>5278582
I already got it !
>>5288742
Your mom sounds cool.
Still don't.
Not really into collecting Star Wars but I still want to have one.
Any suggestions?
>>5288197
Which power ranger figures are those? I might want to seek out some but I don't know what is good.
>>5280601
I'm with you, anon. I don't really care about Rangers, but I really want the Legacy Morpher.
>>5295087
The SH Figuarts. Most of them are pretty pricy by now, but the Japanese releases are reasonably priced. The armored Red ranger is still available for fairly cheap on amazon.
>>5278582
As an only child, I was pretty fucking spoiled. But but I was mostly raised by my single Mother, and there was one item which she couldn't afford, which was a Lego pirate ship, which I think was Red Beard Runner looking at the sets at the time. I never did buy one for myself though, no good ones when I got back into the hobby.
>>5295163
why's pink ranger so expensive?? i have them all, but seriously, what the hell happened?
>>5296049
>I'm gonna wait for them all to go on sale and get them all for half price!
>Pink Ranger is one of the Thanksgiving sale specials
>People buy her up for $20
>The faggots who thought they were being clever could no longer get her under retail after that point and didn't bother buying the rest
>The other ones are more plentiful because of it
There you go. A summary of why Power Ranger fans are massive faggots who don't deserve nice things.
Micro Machines Super Van City I guess.
I mean I always wanted G1 Scorponok as well, and I have that, but I don't think I ever saw it in stores, flea markets - hell, I don't think I ever saw it anywhere as a kid, period. Not even in pictures. I just wanted it because the character made an impression on me in the comics.
Super Van City tho, I lost track how many times Galoob redecoed that damn thing, I wanted it every time, never got it, go to ebay, still can't find one that isn't discoloured, missing parts or at rape prices.
>>5296049
they always have a couple of cheap ones (usually red or male rangers)...once you have 2-3 you feel like you have to collect the rest and that's where they fuck you. the least popular colours are always the most expensive...best way to get them is to pre-order or buy at release. in general keep an eye on S.H. Figuarts...they released some awesome Star Wars figures last/this year
>>5278862
Word up. I don't give a FUCK about D-Arts/SHF until they do WereGarurumon.
>>5278782
>that feel when I still have this
Dragonzord
>>5294805
The bandai walker kit is nice.
>>5279287 WANTED THE DEFIANT BUT GOT THIS.........
>>5280601
Anon are you me?
I just completed my collection of all Megazords from Season 1 to space. (+ a few extra I liked).
>>5278645
YESSS
I've wanted that one since I first saw it. I collected tmnt since I was five years old, even though they were way before my time (I'm from 1995). It has kind of been my holy grail.
Never got it though.
>>5288197
cool 4chan man mask, is it an original copy?
>>5279195
>My dad burned my vintage power rangers stuff in a bonfire when I was a kid. Like the first 3 megazords plus all my other toys.
What did you do to him? Story please.
I had a fucking boner for this spaceship. GI Joe had some great vehicles but all of them were way too expensive for my family at the time.
>>5295216
I managed to find a nearly perfect #6286 used with box and everything. My favorite set of all time and back then I never got one, it was like $150 if I remember correctly.
Red Beard Runner was another must-have but they are apparently ever rarer than a Black Seas Barracuda. Never found one in good condition for a decent price on eBay.
>>5278582
wow titanus was mine actually. first thing i did after getting a job was ordering one off ebay. used and lacks the chains but was around $30.
![530[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/h7SdSX1.jpg "530[1].jpg")
Not yet.
>>5284446
Yup, it's what fucked the whole thing
Bandai of America had high hopes for the toy line, the show was going to go into a 3rd season and a 3rd wave of toys was on it's wave.
Both got nixed due to shitty sales because the Bomb Man thing held back cases and they then got resent with 4 Mega Mans and 4 Guts Mans. It was a mess.
>>5279287
>>5279693
>>5297512
had both,threw them away,now i have them again!
never had a skystriker though,i have 5 now.
