Definitely prop weapons from video games/anime. That MM looks super sweet, and I would love to have a room adorned with props from various series/games that I like. But, I could never justify spending thousands upon thousands on decorating a room. I mean, I still shop at ikea for my furniture so I can save money. :lol2:

    No particular order:

    • Sports Car / Sporty Sedan - I have a functional vehicle and I can't do it.  My appliance gets me to and from my destination safely, it's completely paid off, I just can't justify spending a good chunk of change on another car.
    • Motorcycle - I'd never ride because I'd be concerned about the other drivers around me, so I cannot justify the cost.  Plus I'd likely kill myself on one.
    • House - Private Mortgage Insurance is a bitch and I can't throw down 20%.  Someday....
    • Private Pilots License - Well.... Still considering this.  Do not know if it'd be worth the 8-10k to do it, though.
    • HTPC / NAS - I really should just do this, it's cheap enough....
    • A new HDTV - My current one has a failing DLP chip (Damn you Texas Instruments!).  I just haven't pulled the trigger on a new, skinny, LCD TV yet.  Undecided if I want smart features or not, but it's to the point where they're unavoidable, which kinda sucks.  Also falls under the "I should do this, it's cheap enough" category.

    Didn't think of it but I second that. Can't justify a purchase because I don't nearly play regularly.

    I would play the shit out of them. I destroyed my foam pads beyond repair back in high school. I play at a 9-10 step level when I am practiced and ready.

    I am extremely frugal and I rarely buy something that isn't a necessity.

     

    As someone else mentioned, I guess at the moment my focus is on a house. Whenever I get 20% down, I will probably take the plunge.

    There are some cards that I want only because of how rare/expensive they are :x

    I really waaant:
    A Black Lotus MTG card (worth like $27,000)
    https://magicthesell...lacklotus61.jpg

    A Pikachu Illustrator card (recently sold for $100k)
    http://www.fromjapan...Illustrator.jpg

    The Southern Island Pokemon set (cheapest here, only like ~$100 for the set)
    http://www.animemate...sland_cards.jpg

    A complete set of shadowless base set Pokemon cards which... I don't know what would cost, but Charizard alone costs ~$500 if you buy it by itself, while a booster box can easily go for more than a grand and booster packs go for like $100+ a pop. There's a cheap set on ebay like right now but I really doubt they're real :x

    I have a hard time spending money on clothes, unless it's jeans. I have had the same shirts for years. I know I need more, but I hate buying them. :/

    Neopets Premium Membership...I can never quite convince myself that it'd be worth it, but I've been a Neo fan for so long...

    Investigate in a room that only consists bookcases with -ofcourse- lots of books, so I could have my own little library where everyone comes to read and has to be quiet.

    A projector. So I can watch movies and stuff over an entire wall. Nowadays you can just mirror your movies right to your tv anyway but idk a projector would still be awesome...

    A car. It just doesn't make any sense to purchase a car when there's a good public transport system and I get to work faster using it. :ohwell:

    Buying plane tickets to make periodic trips to my boyfriend (who lives over 2k miles away) but alas, I need to focus on my life here first before anything else.

    • Plane tickets. Anywhere. Preferably somewhere overseas.
    • One of those Wilson Deluxe Cake Decorating kits from Michaels.
    • A PS4. I'll get around to it eventually.
    • Puma running shoes. I have over 60 other pairs of shoes and I constantly buy more...yet I don't have these for some reason despite always wanting some.
    • A new blender. I don't use it enough, but the one I have is so shitty and old it can barely crush ice.
    • A really comfy patio set.
    • An arsenal of every kitchen utensil and baking pan known to man. Plus a kitchen reno to accommodate it.

    An overlock machine. Literally the only thing it does is make your edges in sewing look nicer/more professional. It has only 1 stitch (well, with some variations, but in essence only one) and it's all it does. And I want it so bad but I cannot justify spending E100,- on it.
