What's the Holy Grail item in your hobby?

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.
Green Chartreuse.
Idk if it's just oz but I never have trouble finding the stuff, always at dans whenever I check

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.
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.
SAKO TRG 22/42 A1 a good home defense tool for light sleepers.
That looks strangely like a long range rifle that c would be well served putting up a prepared defence or neutralising an unsuspecting target. Neither of which are aligned with home defence.
For home defence I want a shotgun. High lethality that doesn't go bouncing down the road looking for another victim.
Why use a gun chambered in 6.5cm, 308win, 300wm, or 338lapua for home defense, unless you mean defense of your large estate and need long range? Shotguns are long and unwieldy. I'd go for hand guns with rounds that distort when they hit something so there is less chance of penetration and continuing on. Most likely 22lr or 9mm. 22 has less stopping power, but usually more capacity.
An original production Semmerling LM4.
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.

I picked up 3D printing and started with the super cheap Ender 3. I keep chasing it and got there... The journey was annoying but I keep having to re-calibrate and I'm just too busy to keep fixing it.

Upload limit cut it off. Link to longer with punchline.
Wenonah Itasca canoe in Kevlar, a canoe that you can transport your life and another person and their life at a blazing clip and the boat barely weighs over 50 pounds for bring 19.5 feet.
I have the hull in a heavier layup so I am happy but I dream of having the kevlar ultralight version.
