A factory sealed G1 Headmaster Horrorcon: Snapdragon, would score an 80 when cased and graded. And from what people have said this dude is like rocking-horse shit to get hold of.



I used to have him as a kid. He never left my side. Pretty pricey these days though. Someday i'll own him again.

This year has been outstanding for me in terms of acquiring some of my grails. I bought myself a G1 Jetfire (nearly complete and in the box) for my birthday while my mother bought me a working G1 Shockwave to go along with it. For my wedding, my wife bought me a complete Deszaras and for Christmas she got me an incomplete Fortress Maximus (hopefully I can complete him soon).

Looking forward to 2012 I'd like to finish my G1 Monstructor. Damn GPS has destroyed Bristlebacks legs and I can't find a replacement for a reasonable price. That would finish off my collection of American gestalts.

My list of grails at this point includes Lio Kaiser, Raiden, Blue Bacchus, Grandus, and Overlord. Maybe with some luck 2012 can see one of them come off the list and onto my shelves.

Mine are no where near all your awesome g1 tfs but I would like sometime to finish/rebuy my energon prime/omega thats missing parts and pick up energon Scorponok.

Rotf recon ironhide is starting to look like a grail now, Never once seen him in shops and is a rare find outside of the US.

I got the G2 Stormtrooper set MOSC UK edition and one spainish version a few years ago. Tried to sell them on EBay and no one really wanted them.

I want Fortress maximus this year so I'm considering not buying any at all but him this will then also raise my cash reserves for next year.

Current Grail: Metalhawk. MIB. Complete. I never thought I would obtain my previous Grail (MIB complete Overlord) so I don't feel so intimidated. Atleast the figures I consider Holy Grails are only expensive. Not like Shining Light Unicron, or some lucky draw in which there are only 10 in existence or some such craziness!

I don't have any of my grails, I barely have the cash to buy the normal figures I want (although I just got a new job yay me! So that could change soon) but the biggest (in terms of grail-ness, not size)grails on my list are E-hobby black destroy repaint Robot Masters Victory Saber and G2 Clench. Man I'd really love to have those guys...

I have no real "Holy Grails" in my collection, even if I do have quite a few rare Transformers. Luckily, there are no Transformers that I ever felt I HAD TO HAVE (but was unable to aquire for a long time).
I only ever had a burning desire for toys I couldn't have when I was a kid; back then it was mostly focused on MASK toys like Outlaw and Laser Command. I was able to get those 'Holy Grails' when I finally started making my own money, and that really did feel amazing.
Perhaps the only TF which almost deserves the term 'Holy Grail' to me was getting a mint complete (but loose!) G1 Bludgeon, which I did spend quite a long time to find. But he is by no means my most expensive Transformer.
I'm so meta, even this acronym...
