Mine was the Barbie Townhouse with the elevator. (The novelty of the elevator soon wore off and it was easier just to place her on whatever floor you wanted.) :laugh:

and

The Mystery Date Game!! :drinker: Oooooh the razzing you would get from your buddies if your date was the nerd. :embarassed: :ohwell:

Yours?

    Barbies FTW!

    One year i really, really and I mean REALLY wanted this barbie convertible that extended from a 2-seater to a 4-seater

    Long story short, I was being a lil SH!THEAD and my mom told me she was going to take a gift back, I pressed my luck....she UNWRAPPED the convertible and RETURNED IT TO THE STORE!!! :sad: :sad: :sad:

    Now that I'm a mom, I'm proud of her for sticking to it! However, I still WANT that darn car! :laugh:

    I LOVED that game, I think it was one of the best xmas gifts I got. My mom just threw it out because it was missing stuff lol

    I think one of the best gift I got as a kid was this "secret" sender thing. it was like a mini computer you could send messages back and forth, and keep a diary and play games, I cannot remember the name of it though.

    Favorite toys as a kid were this She-Ra figurine and her white stallion, MouseTrap, Cabbage Patches (that was the thing to collect back in the day). I used to decimate my barbies (pop their heads off, hang them, cut their hair, paint red nailpolish (blood) on them until I started playing "soap opera" with them. All my barbies were lesbians (I didn't have Ken).

    I was given a boom box and a package of blank tapes so I could make my own mixed tapes. Only problem was the DJ would talk through the first part of the song and mess it all up!! LOL My dad was the best!

    The Commodore 64. It was a defining moment in my life.

    I got one of those! But not for Christmas. The original Nintendo has got to be my favorite. While the original PS had the best games of all time, the original Nintendo set the stage.
