Stuff that, back when you were in the economic clutches of your parents, you could but dream of having.

For me, there were several. The Dreamcast was the first, then the PS2, back in the early 2000s

More recently, I've been completely enthralled by the Amiga and what it offered back in the late 80s. That's a system that was never available around my parts (Brazil), even as a clone product or contraband

I really wanted a Vectrex as a kid. Having an all in one system and not having to fight to use the tv like we did with our Atari 2600 was a dream. The arcade quality vector graphics were so rad. I spent hours looking at it in the sears catalog, dreaming about playing it. I asked Santa for it but he didn’t deliver.
