OK, I admit, _I_ would kill for a set... almost. :)
I'd love to lay my hands on all the instruments in the Landscape video.
The EDP keytar is a hot wanted piece for my EDP collection.

There was a white keytar too BTW, it ended up with the guitarist of Rod
Steward's band. I bet it was thrown in the bin when they smashed some
hotel room or so. :(

The lyricon would be nice too. I know they easily fail, but the original
"Einstein a go-go"-lyricon wouldn't hurt either.
