Old Toys

[4getmenot]

Ok in gaming section somehow we've got onto what the best seller will be at xmas this year. In paper yesterday they reckoned Rubiks cube will be. Now I dont know whether I was strange but I cant remember ever wanting something my mates had I always asked for drawing things for xmas. Maybe a Tomy tronic but they were never best sellers. So who always had to have the toy of the year and what was it?

I remember when the Teletubby toys were really hard to find and my mate paid �400 for A La La off ebay for her daughter. On christmas day, the kid tore the wrapper off and cast it to one side, in fact she never even bothered with it !

I thought santa was a fooking bastad up until I found out he wern`t real, my mum always said he`s run out of whatever I wanted and he`ll try and get one on my birthday, which never happened either :o(

Oh poor Elvis :-(

lol @ Elvis ! My dad used to tell me that if the ice cream van was playing a tune it was because they had run out of ice cream !

I never bothered with whatever the toy of the year was, not as far as i can remember anyway. All i ever wanted for christmas was books lol

All I wanted was a Big Yellow Tea Pot, but I never got one. Years later i bought one for my niece and it was sh1te!!

i always used to ask santa to send some clothes for those poor ladies in daddies magazines

[4getmenot]

I had the cheap version instead from woolies like a case shaped as a house where a mouse stood behind the door or window

[Jillius]

I remember when I was 5 bursting into my mum and dad's bedroom sobbing cos father christmas hadn't left me a doll's pram. I was told it wouldn't fit down the chimney and that it was downstairs. Phew
