A few (alright, MANY) years ago I chanced about this weird "Space Marine" game with plenty of cool little minis, coming in italian, no less. I was hooked.
I was always an imperial loyalist at heart (humans uber alles, we don't need no alien xeno-scum). So, a dream formed in my crazy, twisted mind: "I want to own at least a detachment of each and every type the Imperium has to offer". The fact that there were no less than three imperial forces didn't help matters, nor did the Titan Legion release of all the new knight units.
A few months ago, I participated in an Ebay auction which should have provided my last pieces: a detachment each of the three Chimera variants (Chimedon, Chimerax, Chimerro) plus a detachment of Knight Castellans.
I thought I had finally reached my goal. Alas, it was not meant to be: the package got lost in the mail. $44 vaporised, but what was much worse, I was now back to square one trying to locate semi-rare miniatures which do not come up that often on Ebay. 
Not to be stopped by such trivial setbacks, I started looking for the damn pieces... again. A few weeks ago, three castellans showed in my mailbox.
A few days ago, an auction for 13 chimeras was listed on Ebay. One command tank, plus three for each type. I won it.
And finally, this morning, just while I was walking through the gate, the postman appeared. And it had one package for me.
I now own at least one detachment worth of every single imperial unit released during the SM2/TL era. Yay me! 
Now, let's go back to hunting the Psi, the Dropship, and the AT-era small metal pieces
