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.

I wanted something that was limited edition. Like the consoles.
So I have the limited edition animal crossing switch and the legend of Zelda Gameboy advance SP.
I also have numerous collectors editions of games.

Also, anime/ gaming figures. Have numerous shelves filled with them now, it's really cool to see every day in my living room.

Dungeons and Dragons miniatures and all the paints I want to paint them. When I was a kid, I couldn't afford more than just the characters I was playing.

Now I have hundreds and my wife, who has a lot of artistic talent, has taken to painting them with enthusiasm.

Not quite what you asked, but the thing I wanted most (that I remember) was a fixed gear bicycle. I still want one but understand the impracticality so have not yet bought/made one.

Big ass Star Wars Lego sets. Actually I didn't want them as a kid because they didn't exist yet, but I was really into Star Wars ever since I saw Return of the Jedi in a theater (one if my first movie memories), and I drooled over sets like the Imperial Star Destroyer as a young adult. Now I have my very own Venator!
