Following on from Cam's interesting thread about your favourite 'big brands', how about a few comments on favourite kit that you don't own, and if any, the reasons why.
For instance, I seriously want a pair of those Leopard-skin SM batting gloves. I still want a Malik Sher (old-time favourite) and I have a secret crush on those brightly coloured Horse-cricket rubbers!!
-
Not a brand so to speak. But
Jealous of anyone that gets to play white balls cricket! Would love a coloured set of pads and glove, and the ability to go with a super super lairy pair of shoes with them!
But alas I only play red ball so no use.
-
@FattusCattus I can sell you a pair ;) I want a dynadrive and some stretton fox
-
Dukes hyperblade, an old team mate had one and always wanted one
-
A @madebyGrayNics Gray Nics.
This is all. But ain't never gonna happen :(
-
I definately want a @madebygraynics bat (not going to happen) and I want GM pro pads (occaisionally pop up on eBay, so might happen).
not sure about guilty pleasures. I am pretty happy with the kit I have
-
Symonds Super Tusker. That is all.

I like the shape, but a red ink doesn't have the stickers :(

Good luck getting the stickers!! Robinsons claim they don't have any.

I'd love an old Millichamp&hall Puma
-
Back in the day (about 25 years ago) I almost bought a Kippax. I don't know the exact model - could have been a colossus or some such, but it was a big bat, like bats used to be. No bow or concaving, no big edges, just big. It had the old school green and red K sticker on it. Opportunity missed... :(
-
I love the new Masuri helmets used in the Big Bash, nice and bright with a black peak and rim (Pink Sydney Sixers one especially). Was tempted doing a custom Masuri but I couldn't justify the cost!
-
As @Buzz said, pro GM pads in coloured. Emailed @Edward Lowy to try my luck but it was futile.
Apart from that B3 1271 and Gray Nicolls David Warner.
That's it, have tried or own rest.

Make me use my @madebyGrayNics bat which I have been neglecting for years despite its made of 1%/2% of the cleft!! :(
-
Other favourite kit that I don't own is some of Fattus's bats - he has a disturbingly good eye.

#propabatta!!
-
GN Powerspot, an M&H, H4L warbird, Salix are all on the I would like but don't have list. Not too fussed on softs, although I still want a pair of Puma stormtrooper pads.
-
i fancy an Affinity but price has put me off
-
Old style Masuri lid, regret for not buying one when SD had it on sale for ages.
-
Gn scoop
-
Millichamp and hall
-
A grade one bat, regardless of brand. I've never been able to justify the cost of owning one.
Literally any grade/model Screaming Cat, JM went and retired about 2 months after I decided to save up for one.
B3 bespoke bat is on the list of things to spend spare money on and will most likely involve a trip down to their factory.
Getting John at Red Ink to copy a bat for me is also on the spare money list, most likely to happen if/when I suffer a bat breakage.
Top of the range GM batting pads/gloves and some Aero strippers would also be quite nice to own.

A while back, a 'guilty pleasure' bit of kit I wanted was probably a Hammer Platinum. :-[

I had a Hamner Black cricket bat and it wasn't that good to be honest for 700$.

julian's screaming cat; wish he still does custom make..
oh well.. :-[
-
I wish to own a B3 Mullanator, very disappointed I missed buying it when Dave did a forum offer for 3/4 premade ones. Cannot buy Crown or 1/2 stripe, I hope he does that again & I can fulfill my desire. Rest I want to own something from Salix & Affinity. I would have owned these already had they been a bit cheaper.

+1
Also a +1 for an Affinity Carbine or Arytek.
I'll probably be forking out for a custom Masuri VS Elite soon. I'll need it for protecting myself against the missus when she finds out I'm planning to purchase more kit!
