You know, as a child I never dared tell my parents I wanted Transformers toys, because I'd promised Mum never to ask for something that disgusting again when I'd talked her into getting me Skeletor. Over a decade later Mum saw a picture of Starscream on my computer.
Mum: Oh, what is that cute thing?
Me: The toy I've always wanted, but Amazon won't deliver to this country.
Mum: We've got to find a way to get it. It's so cute, you must have it.

(And I did get him in the end.)
