Did you ever buy that toy you wanted as a kid but didn't get?

I myself wanted one of those remote controlled air planes. I thought that's the coolest thing ever. Once I grew up and had the money, I never bought it.

I loved Transformers when I was a kid. My parents never worried about putting food on the table but we didn't have a lot of disposable income, so I never had the Power Wheels or the Action Figures, or whatever when I was growing up.
One day in my late 30s I realized I could just buy Optimus Prime. So I did. He's hanging out on a shelf in my office.
My girlfriend has an unopened original Optimus prime. I told her how fucking awesome that was, she gave it to me as a "dowry'. I fucking love that woman. Yes I'm going to marry her
Yeah, my parents didn't have money for expensive toys either. I had a small transformer that I swapped off a kid at school for all my marbles (including the large steel bearing). It transformed from robot into tape cassette and I thought that was just cool as fuck.
