I had a Talkboy and would freestyle rap in the bathroom. My cousin found out one time and laughed at my rap.

Speaking of recorded raps, I have many with music included that I arranged from existing songs. Extortion material, that.

When I was a kid I wanted Hungry Hungry Hippos. But I had no friends who were willing to play it so my mom never got it for me, perhaps it was a vicious circle. I think had she gotten it for me I could have convinced people to play it.
I always loved hippos. 

Then I grew up and went to college. And when I graduated college I got a job and moved into an apartment. And I bought Hungry Hungry Hippos and I have maybe played it three times since I bought it.

That's how it usually ends up. We finally have the funds to buy what we always wanted as kids, then come to find out that it wasn't what we wanted NOW. Still, just having it brings a little joy.

I had the game Lights Out, which was a lot of fun and addictive, but I sold it. I'd like to play it again.

I wanted a Stimpy Doll with a pull-string hairball that would make him talk, but my mom thought it was too gross.  There were some Lego sets that were cool, but too expensive...

It's not technically a toy, but I wanted one of those Singer IZEK Sewing Machines that were operated by using a Game Boy Color.

I had that game and played it a lot alone as a child. (only child) I would try to play with more than one hippo simultaneously.

Not so much  toys, but the list of games I wanted and never got runs a mile long. With some of them, like Halo and GTA, there obviously was no chance in hell I was going to ever be allowed to play them (but you can't blame a guy for trying!). But even titles like Pikmin and SSB and Animal Crossing were verboten.
My parents were actually strongly anti--video game now that I think about it.

The women of New Vegas ask me a lot if there's a Mrs. New Vegas. Well, of course there is! You're her. And you're still just as perfect as the day we met.

They poison your brain and turn kids into psychopaths.

Now, time to go play more Fallout.
