I could not pick just one...I love different things for different reasons. Every time I think I can choose one...like maybe Smaug...I think of something else I love just as much. So I am proud to say, I fail.
 
I would grab my Rainman "The Dude" figure if I had to choose a figure/statue.

If it were anything else, it would probably be my Jay/Silent Bob/Spider-man commission by Phil Hester or my original page from Ultimate Spider-man by Mark Bagley.
 
Starcraft tychus findlay without a doubt. It's the first statue i ever bought back in the day right after i started working.

Remember thinking about cancelling because at the time spending $300 on a statue just seemed absolutely insane, i didnt tell anyone about it afraid they may think i am crazy! Kept the pre-order because i love the character so much, then remember finally got it and set it up and couldnt stop smiling because how awesome it looked and how floored i was by the details.

Even though i have many more expensive pieces now this statue still remains my favorite for many reasons, and it's the only statue i kept in its own acrylic case separately.
 
Tough one... And it depends.

The last item I'll probably sell would be this:

It has always been a childhood dream to own a Luke rotj saber that lights up and makes sounds..

The first item I'll grab if the place is burning will be this...

I wouldn't take anything. I would start over and be more selective. I have too many favorites to select just one item. I couldn't do it.
 
The best way to word this question is:

If your house is on fire and you only have time to grab one item before running out, what do you grab?

Kind of like this thread (and the 3 or 4 others I can remember, but was unable to find :lol)

My answer is always the same... my Kinnikuman Kinkeshi collection; 10 years to complete and way more money than I'd like to admit. Also hoping I could scoop up the Kinkeshi (they're in the center gumball machine) and the two complete M.U.S.C.L.E. sets in one motion :lol

Theres an element of bias towards 'my latest acquisition' here but Enterbay T-800.

It makes sense for me though - obsessed with Terminator, and it doesn't get more iconic than T2 biker Arnie PLUS its the first of its kind - highend 1/4 scale poseable action figure - in what we hope will be a line of similar items. It being the first is important in that I could continue to collect these and these only and be totally up to date on this particular thing despite everything else in my collection having been destroyed in the fire. Whats the point in saving one and one only of my HT figures? I wouldn't have a hope of rebuilding that collection and keeping up to date with the new.

edit - just read post by OP in which he states there is no fire - this is just one collectible that you decide to keep (presumably selling everything else?) - I think my answer might be the same. It would certainly have to be a Terminator piece for me and this is the biggest I have.

If I had to choose, it would have to be my Enterbay Jack Bauer figure. Even after three years, it's still my favorite figure, as well as the best representation of Jack Bauer ever released in the form of a collectible.
