I don't need any more spiders right now but if any of these fell into my lap I'd have a hard time saying no:

Brachypelma klaasi
Nhandu carapoensis
Nhandu tripepii
Sericopelma sp. Santa Catalina

I've actually checked off a number of my wishlist species in the year since I got back into the hobby, but I still have way too many left to go.

Already checked off the list, but definitely need to get more due to the need to ensure I have a female (all of these I could get easily or relatively easily once I get around to it)
- Acanthoscurria geniculata (my juvenile is a suspect male; plus, this species is just plain fun and cheap to get)
- Caribena versicolor
- Chromatopelma cyanopubescens
- Cyriopagopus schmidti
- C. albostriatum
- Haploclastus devamatha
- Idiothele mira
- Ornithoctonus sp. "Phan Cay" (my two subadults have been a ton of fun and have gorgeous purple hues, but I still have nightmares about them molting out as mature males...)
- Pelinobius muticus
- Phormingochilus everetti (this one is technically off the list as I have 2 slings coming tomorrow, but with the recent drama around it I've experienced it's worth mentioning)
- P. sp. "Ackaya"
- Phormictopus sp. "Dominican Purple"
- Poecilotheria metallica (will be taken off the list if my juvenile turns out to be female)
- P. regalis (again, my subadult is a suspect male)
- Tapiauchenius rasti

Could easily be checked off once I get around to it, it's just a matter of having the funds and housing space:
- Augacephalus junodi
- Chilobrachys fimbriatus
- C. sp. "Vietnamese Blue"
- Cyriopagopus longipes
- C. minax
- C. sp. "Big Black"
- Dolichothele diamentinensis
- Harpactira pulchripes
- H. cafreriana
- Lyrognathus giannisposatoi
- Monocentropus balfouri
- Orphnaceous philippinus
- O. sp. "Negros"
- O. sp. "Quezon Blue"
- Selenocosmiinae sp Palawan Blonde
- Selenobrachys sp Romblon Pink
- Pachistopelma bromelicola
- More Phormictopus
- Phormingochilus sp. "Sabah Blue"
- P. pennelhewletti
- Poecilotheria formosa
- P. rufilata
- P. subfusca
- Psalmopoeus cambridgei
- Any Theraphosa (at least one of the three ought to be available at any given point)
- Typochlaena seladonia (the price, and the difficulty, are the two big issues it's not already in my collection)
- Various Tapiauchenius, Amazonius, etc.
- Ybyrapora diversipes

Would take a lot of legwork to check off
- Brachypelma boehmi (Brachypelma in general are available only through private sales over here in Korea)
- B. emiliae
- B. hamorii
- Ornithoctoninae sp. "Ho Chi Minh"
- Ornithoctoninae sp. "Sumatran Tiger"
- Ornithoctoninae sp. "Valhalla" (these are actually loose in the Korean trade at the moment, but given the history of how cheap rare ornithoctonines tend to become here, I'm biding my time)
- Phormictopus sp. "Blue Azul"
- Ybyrapora sooterama

"The Impossibles"
- Augacephalus breyeri
- Cyriopagopus doriae
- Encyocratella olivacea
- Homoeomma chiliensis
- Hysterocrates sp. "Niger Delta" or any other pure Hysterocrates (hybrids are a dime a dozen here but why even bother?)
- Orphnaeous dichromatus
- Phormingochilus sp. "Sabah Red"
- Stromatopelma cf satanas

I also have a bucket list for centipedes, such as true Scolopendra gigantea (they're actually available in Korea RIGHT NOW and are likely to remain so for some time, but the price tag is the concern even if it's much lower than it had been in past years), S. paradoxa (same story), etc.
Well, about a year later and managed to check off:
- true S. gigantea
- E. olivaceae (albeit I now only have one, so may need to secure a female)
- C. doriae
- sp. “Sumatran Tiger”

and a lot of the easier-to-find ones.
