What toys do you want to have desperately, but don't have, either because of money, availability or space?  

Glow in the dark homer was one of mine.  I waited a long time to get it and finally picked it up at a decent price, though I still wonder if it will go lower.  

In the Star Wars line, the riddell stormtrooper helmet fits, regularly surpassing $200, though a few lately have been under $175.  I will someday own this and it will become a priority after I finish up the vintage guys.  

3rd jersey Patrick Roy from McFarlane.  Released in obscenely low numbers, this was a mid-production switch in the chase figure from the regular dark Colorado jersey.  Running well over $200 on ebay, it is the only goalie figure I am missing, chase or otherwise.  

McFarlane Jets Selanne #13 in white.  They apparently made exactly thirteen of this figure, the regular chase is #8.  Only one has shown up on ebay and that auction was ended around $400+.  No reason given, but there was never a picture of the item put up either.  I would dearly love to have this, but there is no real way I'd pay that kind of money for a figure like that, though I deserve to own it

How about you?

Jurassic Park 3 CamoXtreme Desert Spinosaurus

$703.00 of Plastic Godlyness. Completley one of a kind. It was a display Prototype that made its way onto ebay, and sparked a bidding war, the likes of which had never been seen.

Unfortunatley, I was not the lucky winner.







There she is.

Someday....someday.

I'd really really really love to get a complete loose set of GI Joes from '82 to '87  Never gonna happen  though because I would probably end up divorced with a nice GI Joe Collection

not to rub it in, but i find it funny that i had 3 of your 4 "grail" figures  

glow in the dark homer, the patrick roy, and the stormie helmet. homer and roy are gone, but the stormie helmet still resides next to the vader and fett on my bookshelf. never even heard of that selanne tho. good luck with that one  

for me, i would have to say the "grail" figure that i would love to own would have to be one of the original rocket firing boba fett protos. i own a reproduction, and a damn good one that could fool some people, but it just ain't the same. after that, an original 21 back fett would have to be 2nd. i actually have the original card back, but of course the figure has been removed.

My other grail toys, oh man if I could turn back time & have all those toys I had as a child. from the 60's to the 70's.

Man From Uncle, Lost in Space, Buck Rogers, Galactica...   I would really love to have that James Bond briefcase back. My Mom cleaned my room out when I was at basic training for Air cadets. To the garbage dump it goes with other stuff.

Right now I just bounce around finding stuff, no set goal. I still try to find what I can at a good price to fill the gap.

#1:
FAO Schwartz 18" Amidala doll with her trunk.  I only purchased the original one when they were blowing them out at 75% off but never got the one with the extra gown in the trunk.  I think it sells for more that Han's blaster by MR now.

#2:
That blasted Kelly figure "Autumn"....can't even find her on Ebay .

The vintage Masters of the Universe Eternia playset. I remember seeing one at KB in '86 and thinking it was the coolest thing on the planet.

Of course, it was $50-60, and I already had Grayskull, Snake Mountain, and the Slime Pit, so my parents wouldn't let me have it.

Now, it goes for like $700 loose and complete, and over $1000 MISB. **** beans.

I'd also like to own a complete vintage MOTU carded and loose collection, including all the figures, vehicles, and playsets. That'd be pretty sweet.

well, i only sold them 'cause i was getting out of collecting that line. i've never bought any figures just to put them on ebay. i only have a small handful of hockey ones left here, and a lone football - just the players/teams that i follow. didn't pick up any baseball ones - i knew mcf was going to make way too many yankees  

although selling that bourque was tough. actually, selling both bourques was tough.
