So then peeps, just a random one this one. What is that one game item you want the most this year but haven’t bought yet.

For me I’m kind of torn between Warlord games Battle of Berlin and the Pegasus bridge battle box. The Berlin box is packed with minis, almost overflowing with plastic goodness but then do I really want to start a Russian force while the Pegasus set doesn’t have as many minis it does have the awesome bridge and cafe .
The thought of dropping some gliders on the table and trying to take the bridge just seems too cool to miss. Plus who doesn’t love a bit of airborne action.

@xKillGorex - Bolt Action's Pegasus Bridge is worth the $200 honestly. It'll set you on an entire journey of adding more buildings and creating an entire table for the game.

Next big game item? I want a larger table to work on and a few hundred dollars worth of Greenstuffworld products

For me it'd be a Form 2 printer, that'd be a game changer! Mmm... In-house customisation.. no way I can afford that, though a company nearby is doing a 600€ resin printer, so maybe..

Otherwise my current wish list is pretty humble;
The Perry Miniatures Travel Battle set, a Kasrkin squad, and Forgebane. I guess Forgebane is the most useful of that lot.

Unless we're allowed hypotheticals, in which case the item I want the most is Codex: Kroot Mercenaries.

I just got the top thing on my “things I covet and might actually get” list, which was more foam in a Kaiser 2. There is an extensive list of things I want but am very unlikely to get, mostly a pile of FW stuff. Eldar superheavy tanks being top of the never going to happen list.

From a more practical POV, the next thing I want/need but am having trouble justifying the price is a battle mat or two. Right now my home field is a slight doctored bolt of cloth. I’d like a nice 6x4 neoprene mat. One big question is to go snow mat to match my primary army, or grasslands to match my secondary army and existing terrain.

An actual folding table would be nice, but even folded I’m not sure I have space.

Oh, when I was in my early 20's I worked on (co-op) contract for the government in a machine shop (that built air traffic control terminal cabinets, of all things), and sweet mercy the shear press they had could do 1/2 inch steel plate. Fun times! Mostly I spent my time refurbishing desks, though. But a fully furnished machine shop is a glorious thing.

On a small level, i'd like to have a good supply of glue, enough that i don't have to think "I should buy some more glue soon" for a long while.

I want a chance to try out Dungeon Saga some day.

Slaanesh release. I want a new plastic KoS, it’ll entice me to snag a FW KoS, and hoping for an Azazel Daemon Prince model and Slaanesh cult infantry. All I want is that release to hurry its ass up!

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

I came really close to getting bolt action, but i'm too overloaded with other games right now. I was also intrigued by the Adeptus Titanicus...but there has been basically no news on that in a while, not even any preview images. Hard to be excited for it at the moment.

Actually, nothing.

That's assuming "bought" excludes (Kickstarter) preorders. I am eagerly awaiting delivery of a Kingdom Death Gambler's Chest Expansion set, packed with dozens of beautiful 35mm Survivors, Monsters and new rules. I dearly hope to receive it by end of year.

Otherwise, I suppose it'd be a custom gaming table. I kinda want to tackle building one of those.

This is so me that it's scary; I was just poking at Bolt Action starters yesterday but basically said I don't need another game system and I couldn't really see myself getting through any of them. Probably going to pick AT if/when it's released, but yeah...hard to say I want that the most when there's been such a slow trickle of information thus far on any actual release plans.

Plastic SoB is my most wanted thing, but that would be 2019 at the earliest and thus outside the OP's question. As far as this year, the one game item I'm waiting is a swarm of plastic 15mm Leopard 1 tanks. That should start forming up in a couple weeks it looks like, though I am keeping a weather eye on those Imperial Knights as well. One of those is probably in the offing, but tiny tanks induce a much greater "squeee!" factor for me.

That "one" game item is impossibly restrictive

4x things I absolutely need / intend to get this year:
1. Metric arseloads of Vanguard epic stuff.
2. A silhouette plasticard cutter.
3. A P-Works Hellgate gaming mat for the wall (I don't really game atm ... but I love the design and think it "could" look cool on a wall
4. A 3D printer (that's gonna depend on how work develops this year and would obviously be the biggest purchase)

I really want to get into Team Yankee. There are a few interested parties in my area, so after my institution Salary Increase (Assuming it is a good one) on July 1, I'll be looking into grabbing some models and some terrain!

The second thing that I consider equal to this is that I would finally like to start work on a private home W40K/AoS table. I'm moving into a smaller place on June 1 and though it is smaller, I won't have any roommates anymore which will net me space!

I'm not sure. I've got a big backlog of miniatures to paint and I've got two kickstarters due this year.

I guess it would have to be an army I'm thinking of adding on the kickstarter when the pledge manager opens like Sarmations or Huns.

This year is pretty boring for me, there is no big cool miniature/terrain piece from GW or otherwise that I want.

This is the first time in a long time I don't have a "must have" large item hovering in the periphery. I have a couple of hobby goals for the year, but nothing includes a single must-have item.

I could be cheeky and say...any of my unfulfilled KS pledges, but those are dead in the water.
