That's pretty dumb, so let's direct this topic somewhere for real:  what are things you want but could only justify buying if you had infinite money to spend?

For me it would be almost everything on freshome.com as well as something like this

edit: and a 3D printer but then again those things are going to be affordable one day so i'll just wait it out

The only thing I'd get if I was rich is a small house in Europe in which I'd have a professional home studio and the Sonor SQ2 drumset with 2 double bass drums, 2x DW9000s and some Paiste cymbals.

This is $14, so you don't have to be THAT rich to justify that purchase (although you still need SOME amount of extra spending money to be worth it).  I want one too, and idk maybe if I had $250 of pure spending money I could see it.

See now something else they had on freshome (which I saw when I saw that faucet also) were thermal tiles for showers that changed colors with temperature, but the tiles were $17 each.  So, a whole shower would cost quite a lot.  Still, it would totally be in my dream home.

edit: oh the faucet is $20 for the red AND blue, that's the only one that's worth getting imo

My problem is that if I had that spending money there are too many other things I'd get before that faucet.

My Lynx statue was painted in a much higher quality. But my Serge... not nearly as good.

Regardless of how the Kid one turns out it will always be just awful.

Either way it's definitely not worth it.

My current Wishlist is:

Exactly.

That's how collectibles are.

You want want want want want want want what you can't easily get but once you get it you lose interest.

I would want my house to have a theater and a bowling alley.  

Probably wouldn't use either of them much, but I want them.

something like this

Haha yes I would buy this! It would be a bidding war and it would reach the stars because we both had unlimited money.

I like how the people who make figurines have no idea what humans (or dark elves, who are just humans with grey skin!) look like! "Yeah sure, it's possible to be standing on tippy toes while bending you body one way and somehow have your hips sticking out the same way!"

Christ, they know their market.

I'd buy this :3
If an image says a thousand words, and a video shows 24 images each second, then why couldn't they condense everything I needed to learn at school into one hour long video :V
