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.

Turntables and a mixer. When I was about 10 I saw Run-DMC on TV and wanted to learn to DJ, but my mother just laughed saying I already had a record player and they didnโ€™t need to but me a second one.

That's a great hobby! I got turntables when I was 17 and it really depended my connection to music. May I recommend the book "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" by Bill Brewster. It's a great read on the history of DJing!

Yeah that book is great and I went on to DJ at many clubs and parties just to show my mother why you need two turntables.

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.

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.

Everything.
