Childhood toy you had to have...

When I was a kid my Mom had to basically camp out at Toys R Us to get me a Cabbage Patch Doll. I had one just like the above picture. I saw on the news that they are being released this summer again.

What was that one childhood toy that you had to have and did you get it?


P.S. One toy I never got was Barbie high heels.... my Mom said they were too dangerous maybe this is why I like shoes so much.
