23 tech toys you wanted for Christmas but never got
We've all had those moments when we rip open the wrapping paper and discover that Santa didn't quite deliver the electronic wizardry we'd been nagging our parents for.
Whether we grew up in the 70s, 80s, 90s or noughties there have been wonderful, gadgety toys advertised for months before Christmas that just eluded us at the last minute. It might have been because it was sold out before your mum or dad got to the store. Or it might just have been too expensive.
Whatever the reason, you looked on jealously as the popular kid at school boasted loudly about getting what you wanted. We know, we feel your pain too.
So in a virtual group session of shared painful memories, here are a whole bunch of tech toys from the last 40 to 50 years that just slipped our grasp on Christmas morning.
The best news is that, as adults, you can track them down, buy them second hand or even new in some cases and covet them afresh as is the case with revived gadgets like the PlayStation Classic or Nintendo SNES Classic Mini.
