My first car, a 1960 Jeep that I restored to look like new. It had around 20,000 miles on it when I sold it for $2500.

‘70 Chevy Nova

Built a wicked 383 for it while working at a race motor shop as a kid. That car was stupid fast and so much fun.

Got out of UTI’s tech school (fuck be upon them) and didn’t have money for tools so I sold the car to fund them. Miss that car.

GI Joe's. I packed most of my toys away when I outgrew them and am enjoying sharing then with my son now. I just cant find my GI Joes.

Not much.

I still have my BMX bikes, RC cars and a couple of my favorite childhood toys.

Maybe my 77 Toyota Celica that I owned in the early 1990s but it was a $500 rat. Mildly regret selling my Baja Bug but I got a good buck for it so...

12" Darth Vader and Boba Fett. Mint condition with all accessories.

Dozens of the small Star Wars figures with all their accessories and a mint Snow Speeder.

Atari 2600 with dozens of games.

I dumped it all at a yard sale in the late 80's for almost nothing.

I still have a supercharged fox body...buy it cheap.

I regret getting rid of my Vampirella comic collection, I had them all. And I regret getting rid of my Bionic Man doll (secure enough to not say action figure).

All my Transformers toys. Also Star Wars.

People didn't think to hang on to stuff like that back in the day.

I was the oldest of 5 with steps...my younger sib and steps broke all my stuff for me.

I'm a pack rat, so I pretty much have everything I ever owned as a kid. For the right amount of money, I'd sell all my GI Joe's and Star Wars stuff right now. They just sit in boxes. I really don't want to mess around with them and my kids would just destroy them.

My parents house burned down when I was in college...lost everything from my childhood except my red ryder bb gun that was in the garage.

Miss my Ibanez Roadstar II guitar the most...I kept a half melted tuning peg and the serial numbered neck plate. This guitar was identical the the one Michael J Fox played on Back To the Future.

As a guitar it kind of sucks...I got much better ones now but it was sentimental.

Remington 11/87 that I got for Christmas. Sold it to fund a Browning Pigeon Grade Superposed. I ended up not liking the Browning and sold it.

The hundreds of complete sets of original Star Wars playing cards included in Wonder Bread loaves? A buddy's mom worked in a cafeteria and gave away hundreds/thousands of cards.

At least I still have my first edition Micronauts comics. I do miss that Podkayne of Mars first edition that another buddy's dog ate.

When I was about six we lived in Germany (Kelly Barracks 1976-1979) and someone gave me 10 or so 20 Round M16 magazines. I kept them until I was a teenager then gave them to someone. I don't remember why they were given to me, but I wish I still had them

The shortwave receiver my Dad gave me on my 13th birthday.
It was good for foreign broadcasts, but sucked for ham radio. My homebrew receiver worked better for that.

<--------------After the uninsured drunk totaled my first car, my insurance company paid me half of what it was worth. I regret that I didn't know that I could have bought it back from the junkyard.

Sometimes I regret that that I didn't save the model cars I made when I was a kid. When I got my first gun (a 12ga double), I was always looking for something to shoot.

I shot those models, and a bunch of records (mostly 45s, but some LPs too).

1956 Chevy 2 door, not original. Flip up front end, all primer and needed work. Still a driver and had original crome that came with it. I was 15 and discovered girls. Sold it for $500 after much work. Bought a running beater and chased girls and drank beer.

Wish I had it back

I regret smashing that baby bird with a brick, and electrocuting the snail, and stealing money from my best friend's dresser.

And feeding the one mouse that was alive in the cage with all the other dead mice (I assumed it killed the rest) to my cat.

These were my favorite toys from childhood.

And this, that I bought when I was 19. Still have it but it is in rough shape, might restore it one of these days.

Bought this about 10 years ago to replace it. The wheels, grille and two of the lights on the new truck are off the old one.
