Something you wanted as a small kid...

[Julio]

When you were a small kid.. was there you wanted so bad...

But due to finances your parents could not afford to buy this for you...


But.. Now that some of us are older and able maybe even afford it.. Have you buy any of those things you once wanted as a kid?? Those things, that you saw other kids had.. that you wanted .,... but parents could not afford..

Im talking about smaller things... Nothing big.. and some of us are older then others .. so of course, times have change and the "wants" are not the same


I know I wanted :

The following :

-A NES --- I finally bought one and actually have it at this moment in my room

-One of those SONY Portable TV's--- Never bought it


-A Pager --- I had one at @ 15 I had to buy myself with savings from allowance...


-A pimp ass Spyder man watch -- lol Never got that


-Some Dope ass Jordan 4 - Just ordered a pair this week.. !! hahah childhood dream

-Timberland Shoes - Already had a few of those


Can't remember what else....


hahaha I know lame ass thread.. but funny.

Dirtbike. Bought one when I was 19 finally.

[Julio]

Crazy shit is.. and they never had money for those small things..

But they bought me a Kawasaki 250 Ninja when I was 15.... shit almost killed me lol

[Bus Driver J]

My childhood thing was video games. When I was young, I had an NES but only had like 3 games. Now i have video game stuff dating back to 1977 and over 100 accessories for the NES alone. Mostly controllers but random other shit too.
And the same for Jordans. I always wanted the 10's but Ill settle for my limited edition 4's.

[quickdodge®]

Awesome thread, Julio. Seriously.

As for my answer. I never wanted anything I couldn't have. And everything I wanted, I did have. I don't ever remember ever wanting anything "outrageous." Later, QD.

a go cart. By the time I saved enough money to finally get one at the age of 13, I got in to paintball and used the money all on paintball equipement

[redrumracer]

[d_day87]

i always wanted a pair of L.A. gear shoes that lit up when you walked.

I wanted a go-kart too. plus my dad promised to get me one if i made all A's and B's that year in school. my dad took e to go look at go karts at various places. then i made the grades and my dad didnt get m the go kart. it dissapointed me for a while. im still not sure why he didnt get it for me. im guessing he didnt have the money..

i had the cheap walmart brand though lol. i wanted some british knights ratchet shoes really bad. oh and the knex roller coaster. lol

[The Creeper]

I used to go look at the c5z at car dealerships when I first started driving. Only took me 3 years to get it

[FlipKing]

For the most part, anything I wanted, my dad did his best to get it for me.

[FasTech]

I use to want alot of lego's. I have a few but I wanted a shit load so I could build a town or something. One day, at a yard sale, I found a big ass red ben full of lego's. This was about 5 years ago. They're still in my closet to this day..haha


Next, I think would be a gas powered remote control car. Finally when I was 16 I had enough money to buy one. Then I wrecked it 3 days later and didn't have the money to fix it. So, I sold it to a friend of my dad's and he rebuilt it.


But, usually I got just about everything I wanted. Between my grandparents and parents, I had just about everything. But their were few things I always wanted but never got. Not really because of couldn't afford any if it, just didn't get it.

[RandomGuy]

always wanted a remote control plane, never got one... don't really want one now lol but it pissed me off bc that shit was the most BA thing to have back in the day

I always wanted nikes as a kid but i'd always get the payless special LOL until i had my own money and started getting real shoes haha

of course the usual, dirtbike/gokart... but that shit was tooooo much when we were drivin a fuckin 83 accord until well into the 90s lol we had that shit til like 93
Dirtbikes/gokarts costed more than some real cars haha

Also wanted a calculator watch, but found that shit to be stupid when i hit middle school when "fossil" watches were the shit, i had my own money then and I bought one... til I lost it, which I have never found, never really needed a watch though

AAAAALLLways wanted a pager... ALWAYS... but when i was about the age to get one, cell phones were out and popular... I remember one of my boys (who was like 13) when i was like 10 had one, and his girl used to text him 69696969 on his pager or something and that'd mean they need to meet up at the gazebo in the middle of our neighborhood..... i would text him that bc i was the only other person who knew and he'd go there and be like wtf HAHA

Band geek from 4th grade to the end of highschool; jazz, concert, marching. I am a little rusty now, but once I actually have one, I will never put it down. MY folks refused to drop $3k on a new sax, so I rented the school ones.

Well, I had a NES, lost it, and now have another one. I've always wanted that Cliffhangers race car set! The one that supposedly glowed in the dark, & the racing up the wall thing. lol<<< That's the thing I still actually want. lol

I have always wanted certain vintage Transformers, but Moms used to con me in the store, so I told her "when I get older, I'm gonna get them". lol And every tax season, I go get one, or if I get a hella influx of extra cash. lol I have like 45 of them now as collectables.

I always wanted an 87 Regal, I do now own one. I did also want a Voltron set, both of them, the cars, & the lions. I will need to ebay that when I get home. lol Silverhawk,Gobots,Wheeled Warriors, & M.A.S.K toys were things I really wanted. lol

As you can see the unimportant stuff I was granted, just the actual stuff I needed. lol ....Vegeta
