If you could make your ultimate nostalgia purchase, what would it be and why?

I'm lucky enough to be living that dream.
Back in the early 70s no way would my pocket money stretch to a pack of the Les Higgins 20mm Marlburian range. Needless to say the company was long gone by the time I had a bit of spare cash.
I couldn't believe my luck when I discovered the range was back in production and now I have a modest collection of the little beauties.

My bucket overfloweth with nostalgia, but I still have a strange hankering for doing soething with Minifigs. But they’d need to be delivered in boxes stuffed with sawdust like they used to be back in the 70s.

Last time I bought anything from Minifigs directly, back in the early 2000's when they were still in Southampton, my order came with a handwritten invoice from a duplicate book, which looked to be around 20 years old at that point.

I would buy 15mm figures in singles to make up a unit to 24 as Minifigs cavalry command came in 3s and the troopers in 4
so there's be 23 minifigs and a single Jacobite or tabletop or other manufacturer because I felt figures were so expensive I could never have any left overs by buying an extra pack

At some point, Minifigs added an extra trooper into the command pack, so that it was four figures instead of three.
My "nostalgia" buy would be everything I still want from the 2nd Generation 15mm Minifigs Renaissance and ECW/TYW ranges.

Fantasy armies using the Minifigs D&D range esp the orcs, hobgoblins, gnolls, goblins and kobolds. Caliver have frustratingly re-released a tiny smattering of items from this range but not enough to build an army.
