"I Want!!"

So once again were on the run up to Christmas. Adverts on the TV advertising toy's couldn't come soon enough. Not only are we having to deal with Halloween stuff in the shops and the fireworks going off already. Were having to deal with the kid's running up to the TV constantly repeating 'I want, I want' No hang on a minute kid's you wanted nothing a few weeks back! All of a sudden I am bombarded with lists. Now don't get me wrong I like Christmas. Its a time when I really know how ungrateful my children are. Now it just reminds me of when I was a kid. You know I still never got my Mr Frosty. You wouldn't believe just how disappointed I was. Now its all about the latest console or mobile phone. Now we all know about the latest toys and stuff that is out now.

If you were to be a kid again, what would you ask Santa for?

Is there something you didn't get as a child that you always wanted, or is there something that you had as a child that you would love to get again?

A duffel bag by Bottega Veneta, two 6950s and one of those baby lion cat things I've been seeing everywhere. Though I reckon I might get bored with it

I still want some Transformers.

Who doesn't?

I assume you are actually referring to real transformers like in the movies/cartoons as opposed to toys? of course you were.

Wouldn't a bad pet. As long as it wasn't the RC twins or the hewie and dewie monstrosities from no.2.

@Garin ... we have some original Transformers if you are interested?

For Christmas, I would like:

A job in Santa's Grotto and a Hmmm and a Garin model :¬)

Ninja Lego, can't believe they waited for me to grow up before they made that :(

When I was young I always wanted one of these (not the egg-headed child). I'm blaming not getting one for the fact I'm nearly 29, can't drive and am somewhat anti-car.
I think it makes my car loving Dad sad but damnit, he should have bought while the iron was hot.

Thanks but I think I'd get in trouble if i started buying Transformers. :-) The originals are worth keeping anyway.

I had one as a child Nin. I can't say I was to impressed by it. The children at the local playgroup have one in the playground. It get's a lot of use so im guessing it isn't all bad. The children fight over it all the time.

Have one sitting outside in my garden right now, no fooling. Don't even play with it ever. You mad?
