"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?

I don't suppose you have any Star Wars figures do you? :) That's all we have left from our childhood.

We've been racking our brains about this all evening and we know we have got original Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus to name but two. They are all circa 1988/89.

Best thing pb, will be for me to 'enter the attic of doom' tomorrow and photograph them all. You can then decide what they are and what they are called.

Watch this space :¬)

Sounds like fun!

@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 :¬)

Hello. Yes? I have Optimus Prime G1 left and that's all. What have you got?

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.

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

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.
