So nice to see so many oldfags in this thread. Made me want to contribute. I threw lots of tantrums for toys, my parents nearly never got me what I was fighting for, so it literally never worked. I still kept doing it. I don't remember what the first time was for, but one of my most memorable ones were for Hook action figures. I just wanted Peter Pan and Hook from the movies, but I grew up in a shithole and none of the stores had them. I was totally obsessed with the movie that summer it came out. One day we were on vacation when I found them in a big department store. I was begging , but as soon as I opened my mouth, my parents made their mind not to buy them. It was weird, because I asked nicely, I haven't been misbehaving so I didn't understand why I couldn't have them. It evolved into a tantrum of course, but didn't start as one. It's not like they were expensive either... and I remember my dad buying me stuff I didn't even ask for from that store, like ACDC CDs... but I couldn't get Peter Pan and Hook. Never actually got them as a kid. Bought myself a few figures off of ebay much later. I even have boxed versions now, so that I can relive that horrible memory of holding them in my hands and having to put them back. Thanks mom and dad.
