My holy grail when I was younger was the 1/55 VF-1S Super Valkyrie. At the time, I only knew that Bandai had the tooling that was borrowed by Hasbro to make G1 Jetfire. Only later did I find out that Takatoku had created the original 1/55 Macross line, and gave the molds to Bandai once they went bankrupt.

Before folding they released the 1/55 VF-1S Super Valkyrie. Bandai would too, but that would not be until 1990, with some retooling, more stickers instead of printed/painted markings, a clip on heatshield, and an all new head.

In 2002 or so they made a series of 1/55 VF-1 reissues, this time with a ton of markings printed/painted on, and when they re-released the VF-1S, it had the old head this time. So at a con in 2004 I bought the 2002(or 03?) reissue of the 1/55 Super Valkyrie for $75.

I suppose I am a man of simple needs my Holy Grails include

MMPR Megazord (the original)

Superposable Spiderman with wall crawling action

My ever elusive grail would be the marx undersea playset. Somebody sniped me on the last one I bid on.[IMG]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8027/7...7895d36e_m.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7242/7...c24fd7c5_m.jpg[/IMG]
