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 wanted the RC car kevin (i think his name is ) used from home alone but now i realised that kinda car isn’t real amd the closest thing you could have is an internet connecting camera strapped to a big ass 4*4 and a computer to watch it through but that doesn’t even come to close as what it is depicted as in the movie and i have lost interest . Also still not that rich to spent that much on toys nor interested to be fair .
FPV is hugely popular these days. You can get small, light cameras with low latency that connect to goggles (or TV/monitor). Its fairly affordable and you wouldn’t need a large RC vehicle to live out your Home Alone 3 dreams!
Edit: The car in the movie is a Tyco Mutator (for any interested RC nerds).
Is it still on production ?
Inside every person there is a child that never got That One Ting™, and on behalf of that kid I sat; do it!
Exactly. That’s the whole point of having a grown up income.
You don’t have to buy everything your child self every wanted. But “that one thing” that you can afford now, buy that and display it prominently.
Sorry to all you kids that wanted a Ferrari, though.
I did. Bought myself a Traxxas Slash 4x4 and got to drive it a bit before my SO at the time took it upon herself to tell me how much of a man-child I am for wanting/owning one and it took the wind right out of my sails. Only thing I have now it a Traxxas Bandit that I have no idea if it works. Have no batteries. Sold my nice Transmitter when I was forced to sell my Slash. Don’t know if I will ever get into the hobby again even though I am single now.
She was wrong. Live your only life your way.
Theres a new electric truck that is inspired by the same black truck. Not sure if it will ever reach production but man that would be wild to get one and make my dreams come true in a whole new but like the same way
I had a Commodore 64 as a kid but we couldn’t afford the disk drive (it was as much as the computer). I had to settle for a cassette drive. About 15 years later, I was at a garage sale and saw a C64 with disk drive but no cords. I asked the seller if it still worked. He said “For a dollar, does it matter?”. Still have them.
PRESS PLAY ON TAPE
Yeah that drive was $200+ if I recall correctly. I had to live with the tape drive for a year or so, was not fun. Then my mom bought me a Blue Chip drive because it wasn’t so expensive. It did not work well and she still wound up buying the 1541 drive. Thanks mom.
And the disk drive was still slow as shit. I always wanted an Apple //e and we couldn’t afford it. Biggest mistake my parents ever made imo, if they’d’ve sprung for it I might have gotten into tech 10 years earlier and I’d be filthy rich rn.
Anyhow, I got one, with Duodisk drive and everything. I regret nothing.
In my 20s I bought an NES because I never had one, despite it being the hottest toy ever during my childhood. It was just too expensive for my parents to get me one, back in the 80s and early 90s.
My wife/kids recently got me Kirby’s Dreamland for a Gameboy that I’ve had since about 1990 and never had any decent titles for.
Grew up with Commodore 64s and Ataris. Always thought it’d be ace if the graphics were loads more realistic
FUCKING FINALLY 😂
Kind of. I bought a SNES mini loaded with ROMs for about 10 different retro systems. Now I can play the games I didn’t get a chance back in the day.
Play Earthbound, please!
Have a few times. Kept getting distracted and never finished it though. Maybe I should try again. The last game I played through was FF6, and I haven’t found another one to waste my weekend on.
Nah, my memory’s not that good
Yes!! I bought a Lite-Brite.
They must be lot less bulky now right? When I was a kid they were these heavy steel boxes that got quite hot because they used an incandescent bulb.
I had a plastic one but it was still an incandescent bulb and a black paper that absorbed all the heat.
YES!!! I swear it’s not the same size surface area too.
Nice! Hi res lite bright would have blown kid me away
Other than that I mostly eventually got all the things I wanted because I didn’t really want much. The only expensive toy I wanted was a proper RC car and a PC but I bought those both with my own money that I had saved. I was a frugal kid.
Utterly ashamed to see Finnish plates on that. Hope you get taxed to death on it 😂 There’s simply no need for such a horribly polluting machine like that

I’m a contractor. It’s my work truck. Hauling lumber and cement bags with a corolla is a bit difficult.
Builders with vans and tippers laugh at you behind your back 😂
There’s simply no need for such a horribly polluting machine like that
Whatever as long as you don’t don’t need to admit that you were wrong. And a huge asshole.
I’m literally a builder mate. You turn up in a fannymobile like that, someone will tear you a new arsehole for it and ask you if you need tweezers every time you go for a piss 😂
I don’t understand people like you that are intentionally mean to others on the internet. I don’t understand what you get out of it. I’ve been dreaming of a truck like that since I was a little kid and here you come pissing all over it, call me a micro dick and just overall act really shitty to a complete stranger for no reason. You know literally nothing about me except what kind of car I drive. I’ve done nothing to deserve this treatment. You honestly seem like a horrible person. Just go away. You genuinely made me feel bad. Thanks alot man.
If you want to dress up like a cat and walk around meowing at people, fire away, you’re not harming anyone. You want to play Dungeons and Dragons? Fire away, you do what you like doing.
But when you’re one of the millions upon millions who think “It’s only one giant truck,what harm can one giant truck do?”, it’s my duty as a resident of mother nature’s planet to make you feel bad
I always wanted one of those little cars kids can drive. Nearly 30 and almost done saving up for my first car. I’m very excited!
I bought a ton of ps1 , ps2 and ps3 games recently that I couldn’t afford before. Also I buy my son Lego sets he too young to build himself and make them for him because I find it really fun .
I do it all the time. Toys are super fun.
