    I just started another semester, so I'm still on my way there . . . :lol 

    Just a bit of an update:

    While I'm still looking for the two MPs that I posted ealier, I've been dwindling down my misb BTs. Now I'm down to:

    BT-15 Prowl (police)
    BTA-01 Alert

    Beyond these, other things I'm really wanting are all of the customs I have planned :)  I've been on quite a bit of a standstill in this category more than anything due to a lot of other things going on.

    A bit of a different take on this, I'm really wanting to sell the things in my sale thread. :lol

    Knocked out Overlord and Raiden...the rest of my want list are very "meh" to me. Would like to complete the figures I have that are incomplete, but they aren't grails to me.

    So I guess that leaves only Grand Maximus.

    If I see a huge infusion of cash, like doubling my salary by being promoted, I'll look into a Lucky Draw Flame Convoy, as I think it's the only dragon TF I don't have- unless the minicon repaint came out. Barring that, this will probably be the year I get a G1 Prime and a G1 Megatron.

    Fort Max is my one big grail, but I don't see that happening this year. I will jump all over the reissue Omega Supreme this year though.

    I managed to finally get a G1 Megatron and a Browning (actually ended up with 2) right at the beginning of the year, and I also just managed to get a reissue God Ginrai set and a G1 Ultra Magnus... I got all three G1 Insecticons a few days ago, and my next main focus is to get a Snarl and some various accessories to compete my Dinobots... after that, I'd like to complete the Seekers and Autobot Cars, and then the rest of the '84 and '85 lineup... after that I think I will go after the rest of the '86 movie cast... not really sure what among those counts as a holy grail to me... I guess one actual Holy Grail item will be to find a G1 Scamper gun (Metroplex) for a reasonable price :lol

    For modern stuff, I'm looking to get the euro card releases of Classics deluxe megs and classics deluxe prime this year.

    For G1, I'd like to complete the headmasters. I have most of the decepticons, I need the autobots.

    I am waiting on my VAT refund (I bought an apartment last year and according to our new legislation, since I didn't own any property previously, I have the right to have the 8% VAT refunded - only it will take a while because of all the damn paperwork I have to provide the tax office with).

    Once I receive it, I plan on getting Unicron and Primus. Oh, and some furniture would be nice. :D

    Still waiting on him to arrive, but other than that, I think I'm gonna start working on a Lio Kaiser (spelling ?) or Raiden would be a dream come true... :D ream:

    Yep. Me too.

    Other things I'd like to get are the G1 triplechangers (Springer and Blitzwing, specifically), maybe a headmaster or two... nothing huge.

    The wife and I's house will be complete in about another month (it's been in construction now for the past five months)...I will have my own wall space for my collection (about 10' worth)...let me tell ya guys, it's so much better than an apartment...get yourself a house if you can...

    My grail targets for this year are G1 MIB Prime, Soundwave and Megs...

    Don't think I'll get any grails this year (ie Brave Max, Overlord, or Liokaiser.) If the opportunity arises, I'll probably pick up some of these bots:

    G1 Headmaster Siren
    Needlenose
    Pointblank
    Sureshot
    Groundshaker
    Skyhopper

    Nothing rare or expensive, but its hard for me to justify spending $30-$45 on a single figure, especially since my daughter was born.

    You think a house solves storage issues? :lol  I have an entire 13x14 foot room filled to the top and I don't have enough space. Next house will have to have at least a 20x20 bonus room (so pissed I didn't do the bonus room in this house). A wall won't even begin to cover the most basic of collections, it just means you buy stuff to fill and exceed that space a whole lot faster because you think you have the room, then its gone.

    I already got one of my Grails 2 weeks ago. A MIB Takara Reissue Optimus Prime #0. I am going to try and hunt down a Palisades Devy Statue and getting the Omega Supreme and Sky Lynx Reissue. and maybe a G1 Shockwave and G1 Mirage. This is all alongside with my completion of the new Classics/Universe coming out as well as the possible New MP this year.

    I got my biggest grail last year (yay, Piranacon), so now I think I'll just try to get all the Seacon weapons and whatnot that I didn't get.

    And, hopefully, the club-exclusive Seacons.

    Other than that, Masterpiece Megatron, and maybe some form of the Masterpiece Seeker mold would be mighty fine.
