    Untill recently it was Soundwave, Ravage and Astrotrain. I am willing to live with reissues and recently got these in the mail. I don't know what to do since I was waiting so long to get Soundwave. I guess now it would be Blitzwing and Devestator.

    My grails:

    [X] All the combiner molds (even though a couple are KOs, they're still good)
    [X] A complete set of Brave robots
    [X] A "Maximus", either Fortress, Brave, or Grand.
    [ ] The various "leader" characters from the different shows (got the majority of them, just need guys like Metalhawk. One day...)
    [ ] Roadfire


    Basically, I've got the three really big grails on my list. It's just the really rare stuff that I'm still after, and I've got to be careful with those so I don't get blinded by the rarity and end up paying out loads of money for them. I'm happy with what I've got. After all, I have a decent KO of Liokaiser and Raiden, I have Road Caesar thanks to several fellow board members pointing me in the direction of parts, I've got Victory Saber and Overlord... I've got a lot of the bigger stuff that usually shows up on these lists, and I'm happy with that fact.

    Everyone would love an MISB G1 Jetfire *even those that already have him!!)

    Apart from that I reckon the real hardcore holy grail items would have to be those rare shortpacked/underproduced ones, like blue or green eyed cheeter

    Well, I am not into vintage, so my sort of grail is Clear Car Robo brothers set. Not that hard to find or super expensive, so hopefully I'll get it sometime next year.

    My holy grail from 1986 was rubber-tyred-full-paint-apps G1 Ultra Magnus, when I received the plastic-wheeled-no-apps Magnus. Pretty boring you may think, but I managed to get Shining Ultra Magnus this month which was waaay better :thumb .

    My holy grails would have to be BW Inferno, Terrorsaur, Rattrap-All Nontransmetals. Nothing incredibly expensive, but that's all I need to complete my show charecters.

    The grails I already have...as in the treasured prizes of my collection are hands down a 3 way tie between RiD Omega Prime, Armada Unicron, and Cybertron Primus.
