I really wanted a modded Xbox 360 when I was younger because I thought being able to play 'backed up' games and having a custom dashboard was really neat.

I ended up buying one last year to fulfill that childhood wish.

An original Saint Seiya action figure, more specifically Aquarius Camus.

Mitsubishi 3000 GT. Found a black, beat-up, but running 1994 that I got for $900 3-4 years ago. Unfortunately, the wheel snapped off, as they're wont to do, so I only had a few months with her.

One of those old early-aughts full-size Yamaha keyboards. I mostly use it for riffing and figuring out progressions for my hobby; but it's so nice to finally own one of my own.

All 7 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures, the Dino Megazord, Dragonzord, and Titanus. Got a black Dino Megazord too.

I have a ton of different Nintendo consoles and lots of gameboy color cartridges for that reason. Good thing I collected them like 8 years ago because they are stupid expensive now

Really i've bought everything i've wanted as a kid, as a kid.

Nowadays it's less about what I buy and more what I build. Maybe one day I will have enough for a house, but I doubt it.

Dwarven Forge. I don't use it nearly often enough to justify how much I buy but I love it the same way my grandma loves her Thomas Kinkade village.

To a lesser extent, the Steam Deck is great for gaming on the go, it really is the computer in my pocket (well, backpack) I wished I had when I was a kid, and I do travel enough to justify it.
