My great grandma even got me one, and my mom returned it. I was crushed! I also wanted the play dough tools that made "food," Kid Sister (I can still hear the song from the commercials), an American Girl doll (Kirsten specifically), a big trampoline, a power wheels car, and Baby Surprise by Magic Nursery (I eventually got a Baby Surprise doll!). I also wanted and finally got a Water Baby doll- anyone remember those‽</p> <p>ETA: I had 18 of the list. Where's the list of 90s toys‽ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-you-longed-for-but-never-owned/page/2#post-1951009 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:06:23 +0000 rachiecakes 1951009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I really wanted Teddy Ruxpin </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-you-longed-for-but-never-owned/page/2#post-1951008 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:05:43 +0000 mrs. bird 1951008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alohaorchid: 83??? wow! my brother &amp; i had 50 that i recall. </p> <p>i wanted moonshoes so badly, but i never got them :crying: </p> <p>@.twist.: @Ra: @BandDmommy: i got a trampoline for my birthday one year, it was great! then i had a compound fracture on it (broke both bones in my forearm, one of them came out of my arm, went into shock, it was gross) and my dad took it down and refused to put it back up because he said i wasn't allowed to use it anymore and he didn't want neighbors using it, getting hurt, then having their parents sue him. i thought he was sooooo mean for that! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-you-longed-for-but-never-owned/page/2#post-1951007 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:05:40 +0000 IRunForFun 1951007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between my 2 sisters and myself, I think we had 23/100 of the toys on that list. </p> <p>I always wanted a Power Wheels though. Never got one. </p> <p>The two things I remember really, really, really wanting and actually getting are Baby Alive and one of those electronic Dear Diary things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-you-longed-for-but-never-owned/page/2#post-1951006 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:05:33 +0000 Bubbles 1951006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: we had a couple of those cupcake dolls!

I had 6/100 but recognized over 50 (from friend's houses and commercials). </p> <p>I had A LOT of Mcdonald's toys and dolls from the dollar store. Many Barbies too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-you-longed-for-but-never-owned#post-1950982 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 14:55:46 +0000 JennyG 1950982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I loved that RV. We used to play with it for hours. </p> <p>There was this dollhouse my cousin had where you put the people on different circles and they spoke. I loved that thing and always wanted one. I think I was a little old for dollhouses when she got it, so I just spent a lot of time playing with it whenever we went over there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-you-longed-for-but-never-owned#post-1950973 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 14:46:13 +0000 fairy 1950973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BlueWolverine: I had She-Ra's castle!

I want to give that to her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-you-longed-for-but-never-owned#post-1950906 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 14:24:03 +0000 Iced Tea 1950906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sisters and I had 19 off that list. I remember friends expressing shock that I didn't own (or even know about) so many of their popular toys. But I didn't feel deprived. Probably because we didn't watch much TV (therefore commercials). I think that's where a lot of "wants" come from. The only thing I remember longing for was art supplies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-you-longed-for-but-never-owned#post-1950901 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 14:23:22 +0000 littlebug 1950901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted a Power Wheels in the worst way. </p> <p>My parents bought me weird Barbie stuff. I had a Barbie hot tub, which had a little button you had to push (continuously) to make bubbles. I had the Barbie and the Rockers stage. And we used my mom's old Barbie car from the 60s.</p> <p>ETA: I had 36/100 on that list. Funny story about the poppers - my BIL put one on his forehead and it gave him a big hickey right smack in the middle of his forehead. On school picture day. Ha ha! He got retakes done, but the original one is the one used in the yearbook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-you-longed-for-but-never-owned#post-1950887 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 14:17:58 +0000 NCSUchick27 1950887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking back I wish I had an American Girl doll, but as a child I never really asked for one.

I was just coming here to say this. My daughter is only 22 months this Christmas, so she's still too young, but I told my husband she WILL have an American Girl doll.
