Wasn't that Barbie van used for another toy line as well? (I seem to remember reading something about that on Plaid Stallions a while ago.)
Whenever a well-meaning relative gave me a Barbie doll as a gift, my little brother and I would soon develop innovative ways of torturing it to death: taking the head & legs off, bending the knees back-and-forth until they popped, and my favorite: using the body parts, Lego, tape & rubber bands to make "cars" we could then race across the kitchen floor.
Most of my girlhood wish list items were 80s–specific (He–Man, Transformers, etc.) but I recall also really wanting an Erector Set, Capsela, and other awesome things my older cousins had. 🙂
