    I don't know if I have many original Transformers I'm pining for. Ever since Alternators, Masterpeice, and Classics, I keep hoping for modernized updates of classic characters. With classic Mirage, I have no want for an original Mirage.

    That said, should I come into a couple bucks or find these at a reasonable price, I'll take a full set of Constructicons and Dinobots.

    I got most of my ATTAINABLE holy grails two summers ago when I made quite a bit of extra money instructing drumlines (like Trypticon, Pirhanacon, Sky Lynx, Shockwave, Reflector and Sunstorm), but I'd still LOVE to get Star Saber, Victory Leo, Overlord, Raiden and LioKaiser. I also still need to get Nightbeat, Roadbuster and Whirl when I can afford to ebay TFs again. My biggest grail I'd love to achieve at some point is to get MISB G1 Dinobots.

    None of my grails are particularly rare or hard to obtain. I'd like to complete 1984 and 1985 show characters, so I am still missing Blaster, Shockwave, Jetfire and Blitzwing. I'd also like to eventually obtain boxes and instructions for all 84-85 G1. From modern releases, I'm after a BW Neo Sharp Edge.

    No Hot Rod Go-Kart?

    Mine are....

    Myclone Chase Clear Optimus Prime with Energon Axe
    Shining Ultra Magnus
    Myclone Chase Thundercracker
    Myclone Chase Dirge

    There are more, I just need to think.

    Mine would be:

    -G1 Grimlock
    -Some form of Fort Max (G1, Brave, I don't care)
    -G1 Ultra Magnus
    -Sentinel Maximus (Botcon Exclusive)
    -G1 Metroplex
    -G1 Omega Supreme
    -TM2 Megatron or Cryotek

    I have absolutely no G1 TF's (except for Reissue Rodimus Prime+TRU Soundwave) and absolutely no Japan-only TF's. So you can imagine that I really narrowed down the list.

    I think my holy grail must be Secret Starscream. From what I have read there are only 5 known to exist. I'll probably never have one.

    Currently, and apparently not as easy as I thought:

    g1 Soundwave(original, reissue, classics), I can't get a hold of one
    The last one, Blitzwing, will be shipping shortly to me (Thank you Maximo Prime)

    My 'holy grails' (more accurately, "the stuff I want but may well never obtain") are the Dino-combiner cassettes (got all the other tapes, after all), and all parts of Liokaiser (I have a decent knockoff version, and have been extremely slowly getting legit toys to replace the KOs - I'm up to 2 out of 6 so far :)  )
