If I could go back to track down one toy in particular it would be the Big Dai-X from X-Bomber/ Star Fleet. @PrfktTear, the Dino-Riders were amazing toys, especially the T-Rex….I loved the art work on the boxes….They re-released the dinosuars without there armour as part of an educational toy line, I had the chance to get the T-Rex along with a lot of other, but without there armour they just were not as appealing.

In fact, I've had <i>vivid</i> dreams of going to distant TRUs, buying old toys that miraculously remained on the shelves -- or new toys that really don't exist -- and getting them home... so vivid, in fact, that I actually <i>look</i> for the things for a little while before determining that I must have dreamed them up. I used to have dreams like this even when I was a kid, and for years I was convinced that I had simply misplaced a Wendy's Kids' Meal toy that, in reality, probably never existed outside of my subconscious. I dream a lot about visiting TRUs in China (I actually did visit a TRU in Shanghai) and Japan (where I have never been, but my subconscious is quite skilled at adapting online photos) as well.

I've dreamt of buying a wave of Danny Phantom figures from Palisades Toys, a long dead, (but awesome) more recent company, opened them, put them on my shelves... and woken up.

I would of course have to bring my current salary back with me to get it. That makes Toys R Us of today look sad in comparison.

I got the TRU exclusive, it satisfies my cravings for SW. I ended up with a SW later on in my kidhood, but all the joints were extremely loose, and the casette front was broken off. I'd love to get my hands on the SDCC exclusive SW with all the cassettes. Agreed… I got the TRU exclusive, it satisfies my cravings for SW.
