Me too.
Still, one of my friends owns a toy shop specialising in DML Models, DiD Models and Star Wars. DML and DiD for me and Star Wars for my son. Watching him play with the toys I wanted as a child is the next best thing.
One of these:

Maybe be because they make a lot of noise and my parents didn't want to be woken up every morning to the sound of beats.

i always wanted the turtlevan to go with the blimp i had, never ever got it though then my brother left the blimp infront of the fire and it got a big egg in it
then my brother left the blimp infront of the fire and it got a big egg in it Mine was a Scalextric set. Was DYING to have one after playing with my cousin's set but my parents were having none of it. They had their own .... unique ... ideas about parenting and was always on the lookout to deny you what you wanted the most in life.
You ask for a blue bike, you get a red.
Anyway. When I started working and suddenly had money to spare, I went and bought the most expensive set I could find. Played a whole afternoon. It wasn't the same
So yea. Scalextric set.

I have never had a Christmas present
But I always wanted a bicycle for my birthday. No matter how much I begged and pleaded for one, they were just too expensive. I also wanted a guitar, but never got one of those either.
But now I have the monies! Watch me spend frivolously on an ssd!

It was pretty rad though. Eventually, all the plastic bits fell off and it was pinched by a 'chavvy din' in the early/mid nineties.

Ahh I loved those, never got one though. There was another one "Street Wolf" I think it was.

Yeah, I think that was the smaller version.
Transformers the movie, 1986 cartoon version on video
May be 24 years late but the blu ray of it is only £5 now. Get it, its awesome! Music is fantastic and picture quality is great in HD.
OMG i think i just jizzed when i saw the pic of the Raleigh Wildcat! The 'computer' on the front was awesome.
To be honest I pretty much always got what i wanted at xmas. I did want a Kawasaki KLX 125 when I was 12. I went looking around with my dad and got a Yamaha DT50, think it was £120. I loved riding it (and so did my dad) until it got nicked about 2 years later.
I wanted a Sony 3 cd hifi when I was 14. I did get one but had to save birthday and xmas money from everyone#
- Oh, I never got a PS1 (or any games console for that matter) I had to wait and got a PC instead (which my dad used for ebay more than me) My Amiga 500 lasted for years though (from when I was 7 to about 15)

Brings back memories. I've still got the tank and the van in the attic.
Never got this for Christmas, although iirc i was given a second hand one a while later. I think it was missing some bits though.
Also Tracy Island Rocked, and to a lesser extent the Captain Scarlet Cloudbasealthough i never got Thunderbird 2, everyone wanted Thunderbird 2...
I remember having that as a child, was it from Power Rangers? I think the gold button made him speak and all the red leds light up

Wanted a Commodore 64, got an Amstrad CPC-464.
It's coming up to christmas now, as children most of us would have probably flicked through the catalogues and written down what we wanted by now. But what was the one present you always wanted but never got?
Oh how I longed for mr frosty
ME TOO!!! Mr Frosty!!

I always wanted a Tin Can Alley, with the winchester rifle as a kid. Probably a banned toy these days due to not being politically correct or some other utter PC nonsense.
Me too, lucky i got my 3 year old lad one this year!

Now if my memory serves me correctly, there were four Burners.
The blue and yellow one. (Burner)
Silver and black one. (Later edition of Burner)
Gold and black one. (Super Burner) I had this one.
Gold and black on with black mags. (Super Mag Burner)
I think this is correct but if anyone knows better, please feel free to correct me.

I also got a 464 but then realised they were better. Built in tape deck and full colour monitor? Far superior.
Still got mine and it works.
I remember one Christmas I wanted the Batman game. Well I found it a month before and played it whenever my parents were out and completed it before I acually got 'given' it.
Also bought After Burner and completed it on my third go. What a waste of money it was a tenner.
