I remember really liking GI Joe when I was like 7 or 8, which would be around 1988-89. So most of my favorite Joes from the cartoon were already out of the stores. They had to make way for the newer guys, so it was pretty difficult to find 85 flint or 84 Duke.
Had to do some serious trading at school yo.

I got most of the toys I've wanted but I've never had the Thundercats action figures.

Inhumanoids. They just looked so cool. A monster that can trap a hero in his chest? Cool!
I never had any of the major play sets like Castle Grayskull, AT-AT, USS Flagg, Sewer playset, or any of the more expensive Transformers stuff. Most of this stuff was just too expensive for my parents. My parents mostly bought me single figures since they were more economical. I’m not complaining; some kids have to invent their toys.
Some of the best figures I owned were Shipwreck, Boba Fett, Man-e-faces, and Ravage.

i had eternia. it was a motu toy that came complete with a monorail. it was awesome. also the inhumaniods were great. i only had two of them. one of which i traded something for.
the best toy i ever had would have to be my Masterpiece optimus Prime.i know that its not "retro" but its still a cool ass toy!!!

I wasn't much of a Masters of the Universe fan, but Eternia was a very cool looking playset. Same with the USS Flagg. Damn how I wanted that thing. 7 foot long aircraft carrier. Same with the Terrordome. I had a friend who had one. It was pretty cool.
I really wanted the collectors addition of the holiday barbie dolls during xmas, but I never got them

a trampoline
We had one. One of the 12' ones. They were actually a pain to set up each year. But it was fun to put my dog on and bounce.

Holy shoot, I remember that toy! It was the shit
Crossfire was awesome. I still have the board, but i can't use the little BBs it came with because they got all crappy since its been sitting in my parents moldy basement. I always wanted to punch that kid in the face at the end of the commercial. When he stands up and starts cheering in the other kids face, what a punk ass!!!!!!!!...haha

The little BB's are rusty, right? Tried cleaning them with metal cleaners?

(I also really wanted any of the "combining groups" of the Transformers, but the best I got was 3 out of the 5 Constructicons.)

I had always wanted the Barbie doll that came with the stuff to make your own gum. I actually almost got it once but I put it back to get A Goofy Movie on VHS, so I guess it's kind of my fault that I didn't get it.
I always wanted a new Stretch Armstrong after mine mysteriously disappeared.
