I'm 41. As a kid, always wanted:

One of those little electric cars that you could ride in.
A gas powered model airplane.

Oops- just edited down to two. Sorry about that.

I always wanted a slot car track.
Also, a remote-control car.

Someone got me really crummy versions of each (a track that broke in a week or two; a "remote-control" car that was connected by a wire to the controller), but I don't think that should count...

funny story, my dad actually found a watch that looked very similar to that in the early 90's (he kept it after nobody came to claim it). it worked for a few years, and it was pretty fun.
