I am another one of those who wanted an Easy Bake oven but never got one

I remember asking my parents why they thought the rollerblade Barbie (whose skates REALLY sparked and was a totally firehazard) was a good idea but I couldn't have the oven

Oh and porcelain dolls werent as exciting once I got them. I remember I was so excited that I got 7 one year so I could start "collecting them." The problem was I just wanted to play with them and my mom thought I should really "collect them" which mean I couldn't carry them around and play with them they just sat on shelves.....

We had an Easy Bake Oven. The cakes were gross and the light bulb made it really hot so we could get burned.

I got racing cars which seemed so cool until they kept jumping off the track. Then one day it stopped working.

We had a Barbie House which was cool until a jealous neighbor sat on it and broke it. It wasn't a dream house, but a vacation house.

I begged, cried, & became a total angel to get a Cabbage Patch doll as a kid. Instead, I got clothes. My little sister got the Cabbage Patch doll & I still haven't forgiven my mom & older sisters for that slight.

My younger sister and I got Chatty Cathys. One day my youngest brother washed my sister's doll's hair and forevermore after that, she went, "AROOOOrrrrrrr," when you pulled her string. He also fed her Kissy doll some pancakes and she did nothing but make an urping noise after that.

Chalk up another one for the easy bake oven. My next door neighbor Nina had one and I was SO jealous.

Yet another victim of EBO-deprived. My parents said that if I could cook with an Easy Bake Oven, I could cook on the real stove - so I got a stool. Guess who's been cooking at least one meal a week since she was seven?

I also wanted the Easy Bake oven and never got one.

I wanted a Cabbage Patch doll but I got a home made one instead.

I never wanted an easy bake oven....

my younger sister got one for christmas on year. The other younger sister got a "Suzy Homemaker Candy maker"

Both had a 100 watt bulb used to bake or melt as the case was needed.

My sisters loved them.

I wanted a doctor kit. Didn't get that ;(

I wanted an Easy Bake Oven too and never got one. Wow, we can form our own support group.

The other thing I wanted and never got: The Millennium Falcon. I had a huge collection of Star Wars figures and accessories but never got that.

The ironic thing about the fact that I didn't have an Easy Bake Oven as a kid was that my mom had always wanted one as a kid but never got one. Aren't you supposed to buy your kids the toy the you always wanted but never got?!?

All I know is, my potential future daughters WILL play with American Girl dolls. Not that I am bitter or anything...

I wanted something called an "Ice Bird". If I recall, it was a rectangular mold where you would freeze water into a block of ice then shave off the ice with this bird-shaped thing. I guess it had some kind of blade in its little bird-butt. Then you would put the shaved ice in a cup, add syrup and, voila! A snow cone.

Never did get one, although my spoiled rotten cousin got one. Not that she let me play with it...

To add to the Nintendo post.....I wanted a Gameboy when I was 11 or 12 (early 1990s), but my mom thought the screen was too small for me to constantly stare at. She also didn't like the fact that it was it wasn't a coloured monitor

I had the snoopy sno cone machine.....it was time consuming and the sno cones sucked ass. I also had an easy bake oven...I don't remember how long I had it but I remember baking stuff in it.

I really wanted the imperial walker and millenium falcon as well...had tons of SW figures (even the ones you had to send away for) but never had the big toys. Just the x-wing and y-wing.

Speaking of nintendo, does everyone remember having to blow on the back fo the cartridge to make the game work? Ahh good times. I loved the legend of zelda.
