I figured that this would be a good conversation starter, and a way for me to document my own wishlist.

B. smithi
B. albiceps (Sooo bad)
G. pulchripes
G. pulchra
Also, my local pet store has a huge B. vagans that I wouldn't mind taking home. ;)

Bearing in mind it's just a wishlist, as I'm not buying any more Ts until the slings and juvies are at adult size (in their adult tanks):

A. Diversipes or Purpurea
B. Auratum and/or Smithi
P. Ultramarinus
P. Sazimai
H. Pulchripres
P. Metallica (I miss my sling) or Regalis
L. Vialaceopis
E. Cyanognathus (although according to most keepers all you see of them is the blue fangs occasionally, lol)
P. Irminia

maybe even a B. Albopilosum since everyone keeps raving about them lol.

These 1st 2 will probably remain a dream as I never see them for sale
Plesiopelma longisternale
Sahydroaraneus Raja (formerly Plesiophrictus raja)

These 2 are defininely probables
Ephebopus murinus
Harpactira pulchripes

Oh, I forgot S. Raja (The Spidershop had them for sale for a while, but I wasn't able to buy any, plus there was hardly any information available)
There's also a Tarantula, called Thrigmopoeus psychedelicus. It went for over £200, but looked fantastic. I've not seen it for sale for ages. It's OW, from India, IIRC.

@Fuzzball79 One of the sites I use in Poland have 2 Thrigmopoeus psychedelicus slings (3rd instar) for £200 each. I agree a stunning T.

I think I'd wait until they're in the hobby for a little longer. There doesn't seem to be a lot information on their husbandry and since they're OW I think that's a bit of a risk to take (for me personally). Plus, they're too expensive for a spider, but I can see how that could be a good thing, too.

@Fuzzball79 Yes, it would be awful to pay that sort of money for a sling only to have it die, not that I could afford it anyway.

This is hard for me as I find each of them beautiful, I like the Aphonopelma anax equally as much as the A versi and find it just as appealing visually.
brachypelma boehmei and an avicularia versicolor are right up there at the moment though,

I don't know much about Tarantulas yet or i guess their proper names, but i recently saw a Avicularia Purpurea, don't know if that is the correct name either, but they can come in a tinge of purple, and well, purple is my favourite colour :)
