Today I didn't buy a Juno 2 and a Casiotone MT-86. Both were in the junk section. In the exact same place I found a DX7 for ¥2,000 about a year ago. They two today were ¥6,480 and ¥864 respectively.
(¥1,000 is about £7.50 / $10)
So this thread, if you can't guess, is dedicated to all those purchases that you happen upon. When you see them they bubble on the horizon and make you think twice or a hundred times whether you should or should not buy them.
It's not exactly a GAS thread because I haven't avidly been searching for any of those products but they interested me. I had to have a sit down and decide over a cup of coffee if they were a good idea or not. I'm sure I'm not the only one this happens too

Lost my sunglasses and was stolen my bike, plus bought a lot of Italian wine, so I think it's going to be the longest period without buying any new gear.
Which is good.
I must, I must, I must ignore gear lust!
EDIT: it was a little under collectors price so I turned away.
Did leave the warehouse with 4 Afro traditional drums for £90 for my family (GF and two boys). Which was to good to resist.
Apologies in advance!
The 0 Coast really 'puts the pussy on the chainwax'.
@Callofthevoid yeah, that MFB Dominion is H.O.T!!!!!!!!!!
I will refrain, I've just set up my equipment in a permanent spot and I definitely don't have enough space FOR ANYTHING ELSE (at the moment).
They are ultra rare in the UK it seems, I didn't actually realise they had been released yet let alone out of stock!
It is a great little unit though, I'm yet to hook it up to the OP-1, still in that crazy phase where I'm just going mental on it! It has some lovely tones, I'm looking forward to making some drum sounds to sample into the OP-1, it spits out a great range of noises, it's a d'n'b weapon with the kind of face grating bass it generates, haven't even used fx on it yet!
Sorry mate! I am on your side deep down!
Keep going to and fro between pulling the trigger on a Elektron Rytm or a Dell XPS 15.
I'm also keeping eye on the Toraiz. Have a feeling it's gonna be a little underwhelming under the hood. The idea of having something kind of simple/limited is appealing in some ways but after using Octatrack I think I'll feel kind of short changed on the Toraiz. Guess we'll see after reviews roll in..
