    My list is too huge:

    Soundwave
    Terrordrome
    USS Flagg
    Fort Max
    Scorponok
    Cyclonus
    Galvatron
    Game Boy
    Power Glove

    I could probably go on...but I was and still am spoiled rotten, I just think Sandy Claws had a hard time finding some of this stuff

    That explains so many things. :) 

    I haven't had a "real" xmas in a long time. When I was a really young my folks seemed to know what stuff I wanted or liked (probably cause they saw me all obsessed over TFs and He-Man). So I'd get random TF and He-Man stuff as a little kid.

    But there really hasn't been anything that I really wanted (and asked) and never got. But then I never really asked for much either... So I don't know.

    Its kind of funny though. During this time of year, when I take my mom out shopping (she's elderly and can't drive), she gets stuff that I know is gonna be for me. And I ask her, "who's that for?" And she just plays it off by saying something like, "it was on sale" or "its an extra xmas gift." Sura Ma, sure.

    Hmmmm....

    Nothing comes to mind. I really never want anything for Xmas.

    It's more of whatever's under the tree for me is fine.

    When I was 9 I wanted a Vehicle Voltron, the big one that separated into all the individual vehicles.

    The kid next door got one for Christmas that year and I didn't, so I'd go over there every day to play with his, until he lost the feet to it. I remember being so mad and thinking that if I had one I wouldn't have lost the pieces. I told him something along the lines of, "You're stupid, you were so lucky to get one and you lost the feet!!!!"

    Had a stupid kid like that on the street I grew up in. He always had awesome toys and just left them on the sidewalk after playing with them. Needless to say, they disappeared pretty quick…

    Yeah, same here. I had the little rich snot a few houses up whose single, rich Dad bought him damn near everything and he'd just leave it outside to rust.

    I made sure that not all of them rusted. :D

    G1 Optimus Prime. It made me the bitter shell of a person that I am today. I supposed that's also the reason why I have to grab up every version of Optimus Prime there is regardless of the cost.

    I did eventually get that G1 Prime a few years ago.

    Hey he was my first! (that sounded so dirty! LOL)

    I really don't remember wanting anything, but the things I originally listed were from a letter I wrote to Santa way back in the day. My mom cut it out of the newspaper......I need to go remind her that I never got anything off of that list....

    Every single G1 Transformer I didn't get, I wanted. Still do, but I'm closing the gap...

    Non-TF toy I always wanted was Castle Grayskull.

    I can't remember not getting certain transformers, but I never got any C.O.P.S. figures and I really wanted some.

    Hot Rod or Rodimus. Either would've done. Except it was 1988 and they weren't in stores for a year and a half haha

    i wanted the flagg one year...but somehow i ended up with the defiant...but it was cool coz my friend got the flagg back in the day, and we managed to have em at the same time...i miss the days of neat bases

    umm i never got G! prime...or any of the toys i wanted except for a few ninja turtles
    i wanted the technodrome, and got the techno drill instead ...wanted krangs big suit, and got the pizza shooter instead....se how this is adding up

    but i did get a game boy the christmas year it came out, and super nes, then a sega genisis the next year, and a game gear ... i was never denied video games

    I'm kind of in the same line of thinking as Lance.

    The only thing I asked for these days was for my cousins to pay me back the money they've owed me since 2001.

    So for me Xmas just isn't as pleasant a holiday as it used to be. I'm not all "Bah Humbug" but still I just don't care :redface2:
