Let's see what you can remember getting in early childhood:

Subuteo 94
Atari and Games
Sega Game Gear
MICRO MACHINE CIIITTTYYYY
PC
Thomas the Tank Engine Set - first I remember
Big Breakfast stupid stuff in stocking one year

I was always spoiled at Christmas but got nothing during the year, suited me fine.

I got this massive construction site thingy with loads of guys and vehicles and stuff.

When I was about 4. So nearly 15 years ago.

And I remember its brilliance.

Then a quality Scaletrix thingy a few years later. With loop the loop. Ooooh.

I remember getting a TV for my room when I was either 8 or 10 and the kids at swimming club didn't believe I got one. Which annoyed me.

Scalextric - that was great.

one for the 80s though, I suspect if I got one now I'd be bored of it in 20 minutes.

I did get a Commodore 64 for Christmas a while back. Must have been at least 15 years ago now.
