For me, it will be the BNSF Coal Train Set (Wish they would do other unit trains besides coal and tankers) and a few of the SD70MACS.....Kind of pricey though for the non powered Super Bass units, I wanted to get a few to go behind some of my older Legacy/TMCC MACS.
What about everyone else?

Can't afford anything from that catalog!
I was very happy to see Mr Muffins is doing some custom runs of the 2-8-0 steam locomotives in the Lionel V2 2021 catalog. I just pre-ordered the L&N. I hope Mr Muffins gets enough pre-orders for me to get the L&N one.
And I am strongly considering the hobo boxcar, though I wish it were offered in more southern railroad options.
Love the Strassburg #90, but the minimum radius and really high price stand in the way for it to happen for me.
Thinking about C-Liner(s) and New Haven passenger cars. Will need some more shelving 
. $500 each for the locos and $150 each for passenger cars is pretty much the going rate from Charles Ro on pre-orders, but they don't charge until they ship, which is the only way I'd pre-order. Not inexpensive, but not ungodly expensive for a Legacy loco and passenger cars these days. And not strikingly more expensive than the Premier locos these days from MTH. And MTH doesn't have the overhead any longer of running a full line, full service train company .
Nothing.
Items over the 60’ mark look odd in O scale to me unless you have a large layout to support it. Still waiting for the last delayed offerings to appear. CNJ Kitchen car and Roof hatch C of G.
Going forward, I would have to see new boxcar tooling before I would support these price increases. It would be a “must have” new item never offered in O before. Muffin is on track with items like an EL transition scheme line up and Pats CNJ RS-1 which both should have been offered years ago by MTH.
Maybe the Western Pacific 2-8-0 Consolidation. It’s not priced through the roof and I don’t have a WP steamer. That would be it though.
Oh, those prices!
Special run Wabash 2-8-0 from Mr Muffin. Need 20 pre-orders to make it happen - if you are a Wabash fan, please get your order in so we can make this happen.
#90, (1) 2 car set Strasburg woodside #62 & #59 and the Philadelphia & Reading observation car placed on pre-order
Nothing is must have for me. The Christmas barn though will go nicely with the Santa Shay.
Pre Ordering a Maine Central consolidation, New Haven C-liner, New Haven station sounds diner. I may go for another C-liner and NH passenger cars once they ship.
Thanks but no thanks! I will not spend that much for anything sight unseen, MTO.
In fact, I would never buy any of this overpriced stuff, even at my now non-existent LHS!
On to York!
Nothing. If they made the North Pole central caboose without the camera for ~$100 I would have bit, but they made it with the camera and the added Expense.
I ordered the Canadian National C liner, both numbers. All the Hy cube box cars minus graffitti. And both hobo box cars............................Paul 2
Ordered some items and now thinking about BNSF SD70MACs. Maybe the coal train.
Looking at the NYC 2-8-0 otherwise nothing else
Thought about the Amtrak units, but don't think I'd be satisfied with the look of the LC versions. So only thing so far is the special run Southern 2-8-0 from Legacy Station. Previous catalog I pre-ordered nothing, then after seeing the Southern E8's kind of regretted it, but a local train shop had the set, price was ok.
Lionel Lines 773
P&R business car and Reading hoppers.

I also ordered a C liner, but only 6705. With a Canadian National F3 pair soon to arrive from 3rd Rail, I had to tell myself to only order 1. Ironically I had ordered the MTH set back around 2002, but cancelled.
NYC Consolidation #960.
Was considering #90 but with the cars and all that would severely cripple my train budget for 2021 and 2022. So I'll stick with the more modestly priced New York Central and be able to look for more NYC items in 2022.
Im looking at the FM C-Liner demonstrators
PRR SD45 Superbase unit
EMD Demo Superbase unit
Ford and Ann Arbor Autoparts behemoths
PRR 1890 passenger set.
Im "on the fence" about #90 with red& gold rail logo and 1990's open end passenger set.
Since Murphy is my Gov, I know from experience the PRR and Strasburg RR set will arrive the same time. And thats a 2k hit for The pax sets that I really can't take a hit all at once!
