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...

I'm 25 now, and here are my two items:
(ed- hmm seems that I was a bit fascinated with all things TV 😛)

- And this wonderfull thing:
(TV Remote control watch) - I wanted to cause so much mischief with it... 🙂

I really really really wanted a Power Mac 8100/110.
I'm 27. I could not believe it when I saw a computer that exceeded 100 MHz.

i'm 23.
1. power wheels vehicles (those tiny car vehicles), for a few years starting when i was 7.
2. a plane (a real one to fly in actual airports). never did get that pilot license.
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.
