    I have so many holy grails I want its nuts, I want a G1 Jetfire, G1 Defensor, and probably the hardest one to acquire, A Victory Deathsaurus. But another one I really want is Takara Lost age Dispensor, When I was a kid I knew somebody who said they had a movie dispensor but he couldnt bring it to school cause his dad was strict or something like that, and I couldnt find any photos of it online except for customs, but in the end it turned out he was lying to me. But since Japan went ahead and made one I really want to get it if it ever shows up online or wherever, cause I dont think were going to get a Studio series Dispensor. xP

    When I was young, I dreamed of having G1 Fortress Maximus. Unfortunately, I was born five years after that toy was made, so my family obviously could not afford it.

    These days, my grail is Masterpiece Star Saber. I would love that toy more than any other in existence, in any toy franchise.

    Originally it was G1 Jetfire but it has since moved to MP Runabout and Runamuck.

    Cloud Rodimus (will be the king of my Rodimus shelf if I ever get it), LG Fort Max, and Masterpiece Beast Wars Megs. All so good but I’m not exactly in the position to sell that many organs.

    As weird as this sounds, I don't have one. Having gone through the effort to buy previous "grails", sometimes you're better off looking at the nice photos online lol.

    My collection grail overall is probably my 3h wreckers, took almost 17 years for me to get all of them

    after those it’s probably my ghosts of cybertron collection

    I'd resigned myself to having to accept that Redwing and Siege Skywarp would become grails given their exclusivity but I picked up Redwing today for €60.

    I'm not happy about spending twice as much as Thundercracker for him but he'd have been more expensive ordering him on EBay and it was nice to get him locally.

    He is a great figure and I wasn't expecting to pick him and Hotlink up in the last few days.

    G1 Artfire.
    I'd be happy with a reissue if they made one. Surprised they didn't do it already as Stepper was done by both Takara and Hasbro (Ricochet) and they obviously have access to the Inferno mold (as he has also been reissued).

    This guy never comes up for sale, and if he did would be way out of my price range unfortunately

    There are still plenty grails out there thanks to all the overpriced exclusives these days like the Seacons and Selects Skywarp.

    I’ve been looking for the yellow one since 2007, when I missed it in an eBay auction.
