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.

True story. I was in a comic store and saw a statue of a character I loved as a kid. He wasn't an action figure when I was young, so technically I'd never wanted it as a kid. Anyway, I saw it and wasn't going to get it, but then I realized if I didn't buy it I'd be kicking myself for years.

I brouhgt it and it sits on my shelf. I seldom think about it, but when I do I'm happy i have it.
