>>5278928I do, I compensate with Pokémon stuff I never managed to get as a kid. Recently just finished collecting the Gen 1 cards and all the games up to Gen 3; my mom washed away 3 full decks of cards when I was a kid and my sister lost my Game Boy Pocket at a party a week or two after that.
There's just too much stuff for me to really collect though and my favorite Pokémon, Porygon2, doesn't have much stuff which makes it rare and expensive as hell.
as for toys I wanted as a kid, there weren't many, I usually got by with little toy soldiers and Hot Wheels that I carried in my pockets. Only toy I did have and that got lost was the MMPR Power Axe: I went to the thrift shop with my parents and found one there, bought it with the money I had saved up. I loved playing with it but I lost it in the move to where we live now (over 16 years ago)
Maybe one day I'll buy it but I don't even know where to look for one
