Proper.
An original, genuine copy of 'Akalabeth: World of Doom'.
Drum of Swedish Ammonium Perchlorate.
Probably an Abarth 695 Bipisto or similar. I could drive nothing but Fiat 500s and die happy. I have an Abarth 500, and I've literally driven the car to its limit on the track before, 3 wheeling around corners. I can only imagine what a race prepped example would be like.
I've started collecting 1:24 and 1:18 scale models of my favorite movie cars and I guess you could say my holy grail would be a 1:18 sized, 1985, Cumberland Grey, V8 Vantage Aston Martin, from 007's The Living Daylights (and recently, No Time To Die). That and the 1:18 Chevy Nova from Death Proof, without breaking my bank account.
An original production Semmerling LM4.

JESUS CHRIST MARIE! THEY'RE MINERALS!
I really want a used arcade machine for drum mania. It's a party of my childhood I miss

As someone who has started rewriting an old Summer Camp Island fanfiction I started around 2019 and never got very far with, I'm gonna have to say concentration and not getting writers block as the combo that would be the holy grail IMO. I'm sure a lot of writers in general could probably agree with that.
I definitely wanna get back into fanfic writing to a degree, but concentration and writers block have been my enemy.
As a hobby engineer/machinist I would say any "medium" sized mill but specifically Bridgeport mills are especially coveted by hobbyists.
If I found a reasonably priced Bridgeport even one that needed a bit of work, I would happily sell my Chinese machine and make some extra room in my workshop.

A 1959 Gibson Les Paul in to a Marshall Plexi.
I'd kill or die for a WWII or pre-WWII Colt .45. One I would especially love would be a Singer (yes, the sewing machine company) made for the war. There's a rare one that even Forgotten Weapons hasn't seen, forget the model.
