What was your holy grail of Christmas gifts as a kid???

[RingoStarr]

For Ralphie Parker, it was the Red Ryder 200-shot range model air rifle.

For me, it was TALKING FOOTBALL!!! Who remembers this early to mid-70s gem of a game???

Your personal favorite as a kid?

(What the heck, it's Christmas, and it's a slow betting day)

Definitely remember the jizz-fiesta I had when I unwrapped this one, as well as a few years later when I popped open a Sega Genesis.

All time fav though was a New York Knicks Starter jacket.
I think I was 12. I slept in that jacket for like a week.

that shit is from mid 80's and it was made in Eastern Germany (GDR) and imported to USSR. Hottest toy at that time and a dream of all Soviet boys. It came in 3 different sizes (1:87), (1:120) and (1:160). I had the smallest one.

[Russian Rocket]

here is another game that was really popular in Russia...can't remember the time exactly...wanna say late 80's early 90's
basically it just has one game on it, with different levels of difficulty.....I think I had like 3-4 of these - all different games

not sure if you guys seen this game in States

[onemoregoal]

Like many it was the Nintendo. Giddy for weeks shooting those stupid ducks while that snickering dog would go into the woods and get them.
