With time off of work, time on my hands and disposable income to dispose of, I've managed to be moderately productive of late playing with my virtual synths, drum machines, effects and noise generators. But I've also acquired some cheap but powerful hardware synths, all made by Behringer who produce faithfully sounding reproduction versions of older synths with modern additions (eg USB midi, some additional modulation options etc) along with unique new gear. I've bought three, all relatively inexpensive. The MS-1 (mine is red) is a clone of the first synth I owned - the Roland SH-101. I followed that with an orange Crave, another analog monophonic synth but semi-modular with CV patching. It is broadly based on the Moog Mother-32 but with unique features - it sounds massively fat for such a small box. The latest acquisition is a Pro VS-Mini, which really is tiny. It's a five-voice polyphonic vector synth based on the Sequential Circuits Pro-VS synth.
