Toys you wish you kept, but didn't.
I'm lucky I never had any losses to yard sales or house cleaning. Not to say I still have my childhood toys. Most I remember are gone. But they all fell in battle. Nothing got thrown away until it was destroyed. Those few I really cared about have long since been reacquired.
Luckily for me I never came across a lot of the cool stuff until I was old enough to have cash, and a corresponding ability to take care of my purchases. So all my gundam models, other mecha, Mcfarlane dragons, and the vast majority of the transformers I've ever collected are still in great shape.

I managed to lose one thing as a kid that bothers me to this day: Action Master Inferno's Hydro-Pack. I have no idea what happened to it. When we moved house, I checked EVERYWHERE for it. I've since replaced it with a part from TFL store, but it's sad because it's one of the very few G1's that I bought in a store.
Speaking of that house moving, there is a wooden box of slot cars around here SOMEWHERE. Despite several extensive search attempts, they have not been seen in years.

I've lost my TMNT and Voltron toys. I remember playing with them for a long time then I don't know what happened to them. I also had a lot of Zoids and Z-bots, but heck if I can find those buggers.
I'm sure the Voltron toys are worth a pretty penny by now! Just wait 'til they make a movie too....

Perhaps this doesn't really apply here, since I technically didn't get rid of them on purpose...
A few months ago I lost some of my vintage MOTU figures: Sorceress, Roboto and Snake Face. I've searched everywhere but I can't find them.
I do hope they'll turn up some day.
I think I'm going to have to get a bit off topic too:
@ Roar: It's so nice to see you around!
