While you were lucky to get one or maybe two collector Barbies, your rich friend got tons of them! And, worst of all, they got to take them out of the box and play with them!

2. My Size Barbie

Of course, they also had to have the Barbie whose clothes they could share with! The only way you got to share clothes was through your older sibling's hand-me-downs.

3. Giant Lego sets.

Somehow your rich friend would never actually get around to building the fantastic sets, they'd just use the them for extra Lego pieces.

EVERY rich kid whose parents had a questionable playdate safety record had a trampoline

Like, seriously, there was always a giant chest full of costumes in your rich friend's basement.

6. K'Nex sets.

This was one of those toys that you saw TON of commercials for, but never knew anyone who owned it. Except for your rich friend, who had so many sets that their room basically looked a like IRL RollerCoaster Tycoon.

7. Large model train setups.

OK, so these usually belonged to your rich friend's dad, which meant you and your friend got to play with it whenever he wasn't home.

8. A collection of Super Soakers.

Most kids were lucky if they got ONE Super Soaker! But having enough of them to have a full-on war in your backyard at the peak of summer was a rich kid thing.

9. A collection of American Girl dolls.

Another toy that wasn't played with. It also usually came with a fancy theater set-up that just sat in the corner collecting dust.

12. A Fisher-Price Power Wheel.

Owning one of these was GOALS as a kid. Rich kids? They not only got one, but their siblings would get one too so that they wouldn't have to share.

13. Playmobil toys and play sets.

These were one of those toy brands had so many play sets and accessories for it, that it was hard to keep track of what they sold — so, it was always amazing when you'd go to your rich friend's house and discover all sorts of things you didn't know they made for Playmobil.

14. Sylvanian Families

Honestly they weren't as great as the ones at the laser tag place, but, you also didn't have to leave your rich friend's have to have a play session. Although, you probably had to let them win.

Your rich friend always had a horse, zebra, or giraffe in their room that you could mount and pretend that you were riding.

19. Wooden toys

21. And finally, a large wooden playhouse.
