A sphinx cat. Way too high maintenance in reality though. You have to bathe them at least once a week and they can very needy as far as cats go.

Also in the Mr Frosty club, and also then never got one for my daughter 
Also, MX5 convertible, but I am no longer able to drive so that will never happen.

I wanted a sphinx cat too, until I found out they required about as much work as a baby
I was definitely in the Mr Frosty club as a kid, knowing they were useless makes me feel less like I missed out
I also wanted a house with an ensuite, utility room and a massive garden. I have the first 2 but still waiting on the garden, hopefully in my next house!
I've also wanted a dog for years, I even have dog names picked out but I also like a tidy house and am too lazy for the daily hoovering I'll need to do, let alone the dog walking (although the exercise would do me good).

A landline phone that looks like lips 
A balcony
When I was young, I always wanted to wear glasses so I did all the stuff they say makes your eyes weak - I would nick my dads spare glasses and wear them, sit too close to the telly, all the bad stuff. I got glasses when I was about 14. Now I spend a fortune on contact lenses and never wear my glasses in public.
An L shaped sofa
Omg yes! And have it in the bedroom so I can sit on my bed and gossip about boys with my friends (even though I'm 35 and married)A landline phone that looks like lips
I always wanted a cool Nickname, something really smooth and trendy 
I always wanted Mousetrap and Screwball Scramble. I have bought both for my son in the past and theyโve rarely been played with 
I also really wanted the make your own McDonalds toy that my cousin had. The burger thing never worked so I never knew what that was like. I was a culinary whiz at pushing the bread through the rollers though to make fries 
As an adult, Iโd like a porch and a boot room. Much more practical ideas.

You've reminded me that growing up I really wanted one of those phones where you hold the bit up to your ear and speak into the base, I'm not explaining it well so I've added a pictureA landline phone that looks like lips
I also really wanted at various points in my childhood an attic bedroom, a tomato sauce bottle shaped like a tomato, and a caravan
Mousetrap never quite fitted together properly so you missed nothing.
I also wanted a Mr Frosty. They must have had a good ad campaign!

Over the last 5 or 6 years I have collected new in box Barbies from my childhood. They never see the light of day as you have to keep them protected. I have Loving You, Peaches and Cream, Twirly Curls and a few others. But the one I wanted most was Pretty and Pretty. My friend had one and I was obsessed but I never got it. I ended up buying two, one pristine and another new in box but average condition.
As much as I want to open the average one, itโs still a kind of historical peice so I havenโt. Eventually I will resell and that one will be more affordable to a reminiscing person like me.
Keeping hold of them now and will sell when I get grandkids to start a trust fund. I think I am about 25% up on what I paid for them.
Edit, these are all early 80s Barbieโs.
I'm sure they sold replica telephones like that at Past Times.View attachment 2836716

Cabbage patch doll my mum saw one in a charity shop just before Christmas but she hesitated and didn't get it, childhood disappointment all over again
I always wanted Buckeroo, and when I finally bought it for my kid, it definitely lived up to my expectations. Unlike Operation, which is MUCH harder to play than I imagined!I always wanted Mousetrap and Screwball Scramble. I have bought both for my son in the past and theyโve rarely been played with
Wall mounted circle dial telephone, like my Nana's. Always felt like a major event cranking that up to make a call.
Swimming pool in garden. Like the idea still, but don't fancy the heating bills.
Mirror with glamorous old fashioned round lights. Working on it.

I always wanted one of those toys that involved penguins going around a track and down a slide. I am not sure what it was called.....and a Mr Frosty. I think we all wanted a Mr Frosty.
Right now I want one if those huge walk in showers that I have only seen in a Spa or a rich person house, the ones that squirt water on your from all directions. Also a home swimming pool.

Mr Frosty! Yes I wanted one of those too, last year my little girl found one at a car boot sale and pestered me to buy it which I did. Itโs crap!
