One of childhood’s great disappointments was finding out that walkie talkies only worked over like 200 metres, had to be left on at all times, and would drain a massively expensive set of 1980s batteries in 45 minutes or so.

I thought it was that the xray glasses advertised in the back of the comic books didn’t really work. -

Another disappointment was my GI Joe helipack.
A little helicopter backpack.
Christmas morning my dad puts the batteries in, turns it on, holds it for a second with an unconvinced look on his face and lets it go.
Straight to the floor.
A read of the instructions revealed that to rotating blades were a hoax and that you had to string up a zipline for the thing to fake flying on…. -

That's an obstacle overcome in my youth.
Learnt using a 9v DC supply would keep it on 24/7. Mine could pick up Brisbane Yellow Cabs.
Fun times. -
