So I love LEGOs. I always have, and I always will. I also am a huge Star Wars fan. In 2009, LEGO Star Wars released the 10195 Republic Dropship with AT-OT. This was an epic LEGO set and I wanted it so much, but it also was a 200 or so dollar set and I knew I could never talk my parents into it, so I never tried to get it. Now that I am older, I have looked into how much this set is, and it is way out of my price range (almost $2000, like come on). I wish I had bought it, but c’est la vie. EDIT: I forgot to put in the pictures ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/2/7/827fa81d0ef5a48e67a23f6e9fbf3409c258d04a.jpeg) and ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/d/9/4d94e9ddb8fe26e70cc699b269c3a8c5a48c5781.jpeg) ---

When I was a kid the really cool kids had bikes with a steering wheel instead of handle bars. I knew one kid who had one, crazy. ---

Some older kid gave or sold me a set of extension forks that somehow attached to my regular forks to make a chopper out of my bike. Hard to steer, but pretty cool. I finally took them off as I was afraid they were bending the original forks. ---

I always wanted one of these huge slot car tracks. My parents didn’t have the appetite for me setting it up and taking up the majority of space in the family room (or turning my bedroom into a ground level obstacle course). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/f/2/2f22b72aeb7c0578cd5be4d897a87e8e78de95c1.jpeg) ---

I had a smaller set than the one in your photo. It was okay and fun but I don’t remember it being set up for too long. I think I lost interest. I was more drawn to action figures where I had to make up my own adventures. ---

My brother and I had a similar setup to this. We didn’t play with it long, couldn’t keep the cars from jumping off the track in turns. ---

> [@ChrisFrancz](#): > > More stuff I really, really, really wanted… My grandmother was very good with a sewing machine and sewing in general. She used tor make clothing for my G.I. Joes. She made a very cool space capsule for my Joes out of a Clorox bleach bottle. I wish she was still alive so I could tell her how much I cherish these memories. Yep. GI Joe is something else I always wanted and never had. My cousin had some. His dad was a dentist and they had money. I was never allowed to touch them. ---
