What's your BGE "unicorn"?

I can't be the only one that's a sucker for anything BGE related.  I find myself constantly on the hunt for random BGE items.  Currently my "unicorn" is the small 6" BGE platter.  Or of course the obvious Blue Chiminea, or Egg.  But then again, I probably wouldn't want to pay up for the blue guys.  (I know my lovely wife would not) shh, don't tell her!!

So... what's your unicorn?  Or, what else should I be looking for? Ha!

    Don't ask me. I haven't seen the inside of an egg dealership since 2009 when I bought the thing. Bought a platesetter, an ash tool, a CI grid and a pizza stone. That's it. And I haven't used the last two of those in at least a couple of years, maybe more.

    While you're looking, don't forget the Kool Aid pitcher. :rofl:

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    That is a very cool BGE accessory collection!  I would like the 12' BGE blowup guy.  @Pgprescott has one he got from a member, who had since past on.  I would like BGE ambulance too.

    I know this is NOT what you were asking about - but some of my cherished BGE branded items - that I may NEVER even use - came from a dear sweet niece of mine who lives and teaches in Holland. While these objects can - or at least used to be available in the US these are special! Why? Well they were made in China for BGE in Atlanta where they were shipped and then re-shipped to Holland - where my niece bought them and returned them in her luggage for a special Christmas gift to me!

    Oh boy...I have that 6" platter you are seeking. It was a thank you gift from the BGE dealer in 2006 in Oswego, IL for attending. However I honestly do use it daily and don't want to give it up. Sorry...

    Then back several years ago corporate gave alway these Christmas ornaments to attendees at their Octoberfest. Shortly thereafter they offered them for free to anyone who was willing to pay the shipping cost. I bought 10 of them and over the years have given them as gifts. If you really want one I might still have one left. Email me if this interests you.

    There is a new deck of those cards on ebay right now for just $11 if someone else wants to add to their BGE swag - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Big-Green-Egg-Playing-Cards-Mr-EGGhead-Design-New-BGE-Accessories-Playing-Cards-/122143944780?hash=item1c7058b04c:g:HXsAAOSwCGVX4Y0s

    Those are kinda neat. If I had a wooden table I'd snag one real quick for myself.

    You have a set!  Dang.  He asked if I wanted the chopping block, but I said no.  Should have said yes, then traded!

    @Lmidkiff they had that clock at the mothership when I was there in August.  Thought about it for my patio, but already was spending a lot of money there and didn't pull the trigger.

    Super cool and probably one of the reasons I've had a difficult time tracking down the little guy.  I'm in Seattle and have a feeling not many wondered over to my neck of the woods.  Got any pictures? My local Eggfest had been a good source for my impulse novelty egg buys, but after 10 straight years they have decided to not have a fest this year.

    Ahhh....for some reason I had the impression that they were a rare, out of production item, kinda like the chiminea.

    Hardly a "unicorn item" if one can just wander in to their dealer and pick one up.
