My standard answer to this question is a complete G1 Fortress Maximus, followed by the Car Robots/Robots in Disguise version and the other City-bots and -cons. Then, an MISB Alternators Swerve. After that, the Japan-only dino cassettes. My Non-TF grail would be a complete Power Rangers Mystic Force Titan Megazord.
Grails I've actually gotten would include the TRU reissue of Powermaster Optimus Prime w/ Apex Armor (now I have PM Prime and God Ginrai); G1 Sixshot, Omega Supreme and Sky Lynx; Marvel Legends Deadpool w/Doop; and the new AT-AT.

well i had some holy grails. the first one was:
MP-04 Optimus Prime/Convoy and i have him! and best/nicest thing is that my parents bought it for me. I even wanted to pay half for him or full price but they said no. its oke. The second one was a Hot Toys Iron Man. Didnt matter wich version it was. I just loved the design and loved the iron man movies. Now i have a Hot Toys Iron Man Mark VI and a Hot Toys Warmachine and love them! |

I always had my eye on this 12 in. Sideshow figure. It is the Creature in the Black Lagoon, and costs a small fortune. I probably won't own it myself, but if I ever tracked one down for a good price I'd snatch it up in a heart beat. |

Radio Command Bio Robo (the toy on the right). My mom got me one from Japan way back in the '80s on her only trip back to the Philippines since she came to the U.S. as a kid. No idea how I'll ever come across this thing though... lol |

Keep em coming guys SOOOO much great stuff in the thread so far!!
@behindthemask,glad i helped you i.d it mate,it was one of the first "designer vinyl" figures i saw(only in a book though!!) Unfortunately it was a good 12months-2years after it was released,so iv just been hunting since,i did see one one ebay for $50 once,but it was U.S shipping only!!!the blue,red and green are the more(yeah right!!!) common versions,the UBER collectible Recons are the black and grey colourways,especially the grey,im sure i read that there are only 48 greys in existence!!! As for opening,if it was MoC/MiSB id have to leave as is,if like the Mars-1 Recon it came in a openable box.....then WHOOOOOOO it would be OUT FOR SURE!!!

My holy grail is the original Actionmaster Thundercracker.
While complete would be beyond awesome, I'd be happy with just the core figure.

This is the first ever poseable Batman action figure by the Luis Marx company. There are very few in existence and ever fewer carded. Last edited by jimster2010; 01-09-2012 at 06:04 PM.. |

I really only collect MU, but I'd love a complete MIB G1 Dinobots set. I'd also like to have my MOMC Wave 1 Ninja Turtles back at some point. I sold those WAY too early. |

As i recall, "'Galactic Man" was in Radio hack stores almost a year before there was a Shockwave toy- and, obviously, he's the cartoon color, not dark purple of the official release.
Plus...trigger peen! |

Shockwave is not an original Hasbro design, as some of you know. the schematics were purchased by Hasbro from ToyCo, only H omitted TRIGGER PEEN for their kid-friendly toyline. AstroMagnum = Galactic Man = Shockwave. (the one pictured is dusty. mine is super mint.) Last edited by SH0CKWAVE; 01-11-2012 at 06:13 PM.. |

Shockwave needs to work his legs- he's focusing too much on upper body.
