so what toy did you really really want but never got mine is

[pramsgalore]

a mr frostie, asked for one every year and santa never brought me one , santa said it was rubbish, but he always brought me a cadburys choc machine and never any refills
so what did santa not bring you

God I always wanted a Mr Frosty and never got one. I think all 7 of us asked for one year after year but Mum decided once she had said no to one of us the other 6 stood no chance!

I suspect DS will be off somewhere in 20-30 years complaining about how deprived he was because I've banned Ben10 and Power Rangers from the house. The poor soul.

A dog

one of those tiny electronic keyboard things...stylophone?

Oh yeah, Weebles! I'd forgotten about those. My friend had a weeble castle with a witch; it had a big gate that dropped down to imprison her. I REALLY wanted one of those.

And the playdoh mop top hair shop.

(obviously a dog isn't a toy of course before you all shout at me...but i so desperately wanted one!)

there are loads of Mr Frosties on Ebay you should all get one for Christmas!

I had a sasha doll!! tbh I would rather have had a tiny tears at the time but never got that. Lord knows what happened to it, as they go for a fortune now.

One toy I did get was this. God I spent hours playing with it! In fact I feel so nostalgic, I may have to buy it for myself

Eek those Sasha dolls are terrifying! stuff nightmares are made of

i will try to find the one I used to have. light brown face with very long ash blonde hair.

I had one of these
Was fab played all the time on it. Can't believe that one is £55 are they mad.
I've still got mine!

this one

try again

the one top right with the checked dress, and i also remember the blue dress on the left, so must've had clothes for her at some stage.

Girls world was my absolute dream

I was desperate for one of those doll's heads for styling hair / doing make up.

Still feel deprived 30 years later, and blame my parents for my inability to style my hair properly or know what to do with anything more than mascara and clear lip gloss.

mousetrap

Oh my goodness!
I truly thought I was the only hard done by child that wasn't allowed a mr frosty!
To this day I still mention how I wanted this toy but never got it :(

I also wanted a mr frosty and never got one, nor a girls world. I did have some my little ponys and a toy pot office set that was really cool.

am amazed so many people wanted a Mr Frosty - did it have a really cool (ha!) advert or something?

PotatoSkins thoses dolls are scary
ObviouslyOblivious you can get them off ebay, my ds has one they are great when everything is glued down
our dc's have no idea, how hard done by we all were, all those missing longed for toys santa never brought us, just the toys our parents thought we wanted, how wrong were they, thats it, i shall buy my dd's that rubbish moxie doll on horse they are desperate for, other wise they will be on here in years to come complaining about what santa never bought them

mr frostie still looks great, but i bet the one from 30 or so years ago was better

Lol at mr frostie and getting one on ebay!! I had one [smug]...

...but it wasnt all that!

i am doing all right so far, have asked dd1 [12] if santa has ever forgot to bring a toy she really wanted and she said no i always got what i really wanted

What i really wanted was one of those trampolines with the handle...and a personalised story book. And yes, dc have had both!

I always wanted a walkman, I asked every year crimbo and bday, I brought my own with my first few saved up wages ( worked in chik king washin dishes when I was 13 )

I did have a mr frosty but no refill flavours so plain ice wasn't great
