2377	Article	echidna64	Ah one of my friends had the exact same chemistry set. I always wanted one. I believed that at age 7 I could become a mad scientist and create potions like Erkel		Jul 10, 2015
2375	Article	Vaporman87	Ahhh... the USS Flagg. No kid I ever knew DIDN'T want that behemoth sitting in their room. I am certain I listed that one a few times on Christmas, but never got it. That and Metroplex (from Transformers). I did own a Lazer Tag set, and let me ease your conscience by saying it did not live up to the hype. The sensor/gun combo was not very accurate or effective. There would be times when you KNEW you aimed perfectly, but a hit would not register. Of course this was early on in the technology of "laser tag" gaming, so that's to be expected. I should also mention that in the Goldbergs episode where Adam gives up all his toys, his prized possession is, of course, the USS Flagg. Lucky Adam. Great read Mickey! All good stuff.

2378	Article	Vaporman87	@echidna: LOL. I used to believe that one day I would create a robot companion... out of cardboard. Also, I was pretty certain I could fly for just a split second whenever I jumped off the couch.	Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid	Jul 10, 2015
2380	Article	Hoju Koolander	You had good taste for a dreamer of toys. I actually owned the Laser Tag, Hit Stix and an old chemistry set, but as incomplete hand me downs.	Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid	Jul 11, 2015
2381	Article	mickyarber	@Hoju...you're right, I was quite the dreamer. Those are just the ones that I really wanted and aksed for on many occasions. There were so many more things I wanted as well. Maybe I'll have to revisit the topic and go through some more "wants" that I never got.	Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid	Jul 11, 2015
2386	Article	massreality	I totally forgot about Hit Stix! My brother owned the Hit Stix, and they were pretty awesome. They even inspired him to get into real drumming a few years later.	Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid	Jul 13, 2015
2387	Article	mickyarber	@massreality..that's pretty cool. My younger cousin got them, and same thing happened. He tried to get into real drums, but wasn't very good, nut it got him into music. WHen the drumming didn't work out, he learned guitar instead and has done well with it in the years since.	Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid	Jul 13, 2015
2388	Article	kstrom22	Nice article! When I was in 3rd Grade my teacher tumbled some rocks and each of the students took one home. I still have it on my shelf. Naturally, I begged for one but my parents said "no" or "wait until Easter." By the time the Easter Bunny brought it, though, I had moved on to something else. Maybe I should go get one now!

2390	Article	Vaporman87	LOL. There is certainly a fair amount of "retro" to be found in this photo. I can clearly see the beads and baseball card in your spokes. And the Micro Machines collection behind you is sweet! Add the painted paneling and yellowish oak dresser and you have a quintessential 80's backdrop. Love the attitude in this photo, as well as the style of dress. It's perfect.	Retro-graphic Evidence: Video Games are Cool!	Jul 13, 2015
2394	Article	comic_book_fan	your talk of not depriving yourself of fun despite what others might think is great i found out at an early age thats the way to be. it reminds me of a couple of years ago i was at my college waiting for my next class so while everyone else were killing time on there tablets or phones i busted out a sega gamegear and played sonic i got some looks but it was fun and it served it's purpose.
