When I was a kid I was I was 5 years old in 1979 so I spent the next 5-6 years getting just about every single Star Wars and GI Joe toy at either Christmas or my birthday, along with other various Fisher Price toys and games.
My favorite present?
Every year I asked for a remote control car. I had one as a very little kid, but it was the cheap kind that went forward and then turned in reverse, the controller only had one button.
After years of asking, marking the page in the Sears catalog, finally in 1985 not only did I get a real remote control car, but I got two. I got 2 big dune buggy cars that were over a foot long with huge knobby tires. They were full function steering. Each car was a different frequency so my brother and I could race them together. I also got 2 battery chargers and rechargeable batteries to run everything.
Best Christmas ever.
