What's your Holy Grail of collecting?

Snowflakian · 11-08-2009, 05:18 AM

Over the years we've seen many things come and go, and it's always hard to buy everything these days, let alone find everything. So the simple question I'm curious about is, what is your holy grail of collecting?

What is the one item you want with a passion but either can't find, or is constantly just slightly out of reach? Whether it be a fan made exclusive toy, that rare variant, or even something of nostalgia that simply just isn't made anymore. What item do you lust after but quite frankly may never get.

For me I'd have to say it's the Harvest-WKS RockMan Zero/X kits.
These defining pieces of art are sold only at an annual con in Japan, and have yet to reach any kind of mass production or ease of obtainability. If you're lucky enough to find one on ebay, a single kit ranges upwards of 99-140 USD and that's unassembled.

My Grail is an AFA 85 pre rub Soundwave.

There is currently only one in existence, with a price tag of $6500!

Mine would have to be a C-9.5 boxed Imperial Shuttle from Jedi. The Shuttle is a solid C-10. absolutely PERFECT.

Just a few weeks ago I found mine, it was an F-16 made by Armour F/Mint known as "bandit".
Thanx again to Stephan from Dusseldorf!

Its tough for me to say as I don't really collect anymore, but the first thing that jumps to mind is a Black Zarak. Always wanted that mold for a long time now.

Seravee/Seraphim Gundam is definitely the Holy Grail for me. It's epic enough, and was damn expensive enough. It's not old, but it's still the best toy I've ever had.

Now someone give me a Naked Snake RAH, and that would be the one. I'd make a shrine to that sucker.

The Marvel Legends style Dragon Man from the EXTREMELY poorly distributed Fantastic Four Classics Series 2.

Mine would still be Transformers' Fortress Maximus.

Black Zarak, and the Lucky Draw Black RID Prime, both of which I will likely never own.
