Some of the ones I've missed, and may never be able to find again:
1. Kyosho Ferrari F40 high end street version in rosso corsa
If anyone sees it, tell me. Please. Unbelievable that the best model of the F40 is now the rarest, while Kyosho continues to crank out other F40's with equally high detail, but ruined by various non-original parts like the LM wing, aftermarket wheels, and other horridness. The original F40 in its pure form is surely no more difficult to make than these abominations. But it now sells for $400+, while the "lightweight with LM wing" goes for $160. Even the original street F40, not "high end", goes for $300+ now. That's how much people want a good F40. And don't even get me started about Hot Wheels and their warmed-over Bburago mold, with its hideous seam for the uprights of the rear wing!
2. Kyosho Countach 5000 (blue QV or yellow). Haven't seen it in a long time. The yellow goes for $300+.
3. Kyosho Countach prototype in green. A mythical beast like the Yeti or Loch Ness Monster.
4. Kyosho 308 Paris Salon debut version (not a high priority for me, but still...)
