Was there a toy you wanted as a child but never got?

A specific doll that looked like a toddler and moved her arms and legs. I think it was expensive, but kids do not know a lot about money.

I only had one small rubber doll. I wanted a grand piano toy. Never got it. But eventually, got an xylophone.

I wanted a bicycle for a long time. I could only have one when I had saved a big part of its value by working, when I was around 13 years old.

There was a doll back in the 70s called "Gabigail". You would say something to her and she had a recorder in her and she would repeat what you say. I really wanted one and put it on my Christmas List, but never got one. I was sad about it.

I wasn't spoiled and showered with toys as a kid but I probably got whatever I wanted. I can understand why you didn't get expensive Lionel trains during the depression. They are costly even in the best of times.

I never dreamt big cause I knew we could not afford but all the toys I had my mom would give it away to my cousins. I will bad because when I play with their toys my uncle beat my black and blue. And no one would gift me any toys.

I don't think i did have some toys i liked but never got. usually my mom will never say no because i almost always never ask for toys so when i did ask for a doll, mom gave to me with dresses and even bought barbie's car along with it.

It was a doll. Lionel trains I remember them, they were the best.

The one thing I really wanted was a pony..but in terms of toys..I wanted a cotton candy maker. For some reason, I got a sno cone maker instead! It must have been cheaper!

Yeah but I couldn't have the boy next door!!

I asked about your daughter's visit earlier. Now I know she's heading home again.

I'm sure there were plenty I wanted and didn't get, but none come to mind right now.

I wanted to have the original Barbie where the feet will bend. But Mother always gives me the plastic once. The one that can easily destroy.

There were a few for me, mostly toys that my friends had which my parents couldn't afford. It sounds strange but my parents gave me a doll house one Christmas but didn't give me any dolls or furniture to go inside. I ended up having to imagine characters and furniture when I was playing. My parents actually apologised for doing this years later and said they thought it was why I was so weird!!

There were toys I asked for Gabigail--a doll that talks,Sip along Sue--dolls sips when you drink from a special straw.Skateboard--that was probably a good thing I didn't get one because I am not so coordinated.I did have skates and a stingray handlebar bike though.Also had a Litebrite,Barbies,Romper Stompers,Hoppity Hop(a ball you sit on and bounce on)

It took many years, but I finally got my bike at the age of 10.

I forgot to say I always wanted a pushbike but never got one. I did have a pony however.

I cant remember wanting a toy...during my times life is simpler then. I just wanted to be with.my playmates playing tag, jumling ropes etc.
