Same here, I know I asked for the MCC back in Christmas of '87 and never got one. I just recently picked one up through eBay (technically two because the first arrived smashed in the mail and I returned it) and am looking forward to restoring it. It looks like a pretty cool toy, and I remember always wanting some bases/headquarters as a kid. I had plenty of vehicles but rarely a base. My Kenner Death Star playset ended up doing a lot of duty for Joes later on.
As for the WHALE, I remember wanting one for years but never did get one, even when they were being offered with Flag points in the later years and I had a high school job & could afford one. Of course when I started collecting Joes seriously in the mid-2000s, the WHALE was the first vehicle I bought for that collection.
The other big toy I wanted and never got as a kid was the Night Raven. Really sweet jet with a great design that I loved, just never was able to get one. I am pretty sure I asked for that for birthday/Christmas and didn't get one.
I did get some cool toys for Christmas over the years. My favorite was an Optimus Prime for Christmas of '85 that I still have. Unfortunately, not a lot of my original childhood toys survived.
