In our community, I know Keith had his own white whale for a long time, set 6989, the M:Tron Mega Core Magnetizer. That seems like a legit thing to call a white whale. The kind of posts I've been seeing on reddit lately though have people saying they "finally got their white whale" because they got a set that was out 5-10 years ago, a large current set, and recently even for a Series 2 Batman Movie CMF. The term is being seriously misused.

It got me wondering though, what sort of sets or minifigs are we all after? Do anyone here have that one thing on the top of your want list that you've wanted forever but haven't been able to get your hands on?
