So now it's back to my original grail, a G1 original Megatron, possibly MIB, just as long as it can transform & looks good enough for display. Preferably at a reasonable price.

How much are those yen in dollars or pounds?
If you know...

[neliz]

first one is $86
second one is $150.

prepare for another $30 or $40 shipping fee.

Wow, that's quite a lot of saving up XD
I figured I'd have to pay a huge amount...

[Gutsman Heavy]

Since I got Omega Prime the other day (bless Myer and their inability to clear stock) I am now wanting Powerlinx Armada Prime

You could also just nab the Encore Reissue. Around 50 usd for it if I recall.

From what I have already.

BT Grimlock. He is just BA!


What I want, and have been searching for ... Dropkick, Payload, Longarm, thundercracker. Also, G1 movie repaints $ Leader Brawl.

I don't think you quite get it.

Grails should be TFs that are constantly just out of reach. They should be someting that is either rare (not, hey I can't find this at WalMart rare, but rather, gee, I hope someone from Japan makes this available, rare).

I'm not saying your choices aren't good ones, they're fine, but you've got to think bigger dude.

If Grails were easy to get ahold of, no one would be interested in watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

I think my only real grails right now, are the Japanese Armada releases of Megatron (death colored) and Ice Magnus (100 pieces of each). So rare they might as well not exist.

Sheesh, I feel like i'm stuck in the movie "office space."

"Yeah, we're going to need a cover sheet on those TPS reports ... didn't you get the memo?"

Once is enough, I get it now.

I'd have to say Payload, Dropkick and Longarm then.
I can never find these guys. Even when I found BB '08, dreadwing and arcee deluxe they were nowhere to be found.

I should probably not even post now that I know what you all are talking about. I've only been collecting a month or so.

There are even more out of reach. Prowl and Hound BT's are ridiculously expensive. I could afford them, but choose not to for now. Maybe I'll get lucky one day.

Robo vision prime, voyager prime, and voyager megs are just as rare in my area. I have those on preorder though. Which I may regret since there have been so many sightings recently.

As a newb ... I can't fully say that I will have a "grail" transformer for quite some time. It's going to take a while of NOT finding something for this to happen. I have much to learn before I can attain this degree of wanting.

[Khaotika]

I heard some rumors of a Black Zarak Reissue. You might possibly be in luck.

I really hope that turns out to be true.

You know what you need?

Victory Leo, well, that or Brave Maximus.

Trust me on these, take a look on eBay...

Since you are new, we're trying to help you out some on the different perspectives of collecting.

[Gutsman Heavy]

Since we are talking about almost impossibles i change Powerlinx Prime to Magna Convoy, hard enough?

[DREWCIFER]

Oh and I want:

The Estala Minibots from Brazil. Not Antex from Peru, I have all of those.

The Breastmaster animal partners from Liokaiser to go w/my LK KO.

...and Mechabot 1, the Pre TF Omega Supreem. I'll even take the KO with silver tracks.

and...and...and.

[AlienQuiksilver]

You have a PM counterpunch. Thanks a bunch!

[zemper]

given that i live in the Philippines, and GIVEN our salary grades (basic salary here is $3.50/DAY - not that i get paid & live on that, but just for comparison's sake), i guess my holy grail is the MP-04 Prime with trailer.

he's just...out of reach. for now. hahaha.

[General Magnus]

A good condition functionnaing Shockwave

Most of my grails were the BW and BM Botcon exclusives.

[Agent 007]

For me an 08 bb just sitten right on the shelf ripe for the pickens

[lanzajr26]

I'd look around on eBay a bit more, Hound is actually one of the less expensive BT's to get. Now Prowl is a pain, I'm still looking for that guy

Now for my grails I'd say that a G1 Mirage has always eluded me. There aren't any re-releases to speak of and I never had one as a kid either. Now that I'm a spoiled collector I supposed I'd want him MISB but I'd still open it and put the stickers on.

The only other grail for me is MP Skywarp and hopefully he'll be sitting in my grubby hands sometime next month.

[Barricade]

beast wars neo lioconvoy

[Wing Zero Custom]

Transformers Masterpiece Starscream
Transformers Collection 09 Starscream
Transformers Superlink Shadowhawk Cosmo type

[City Commander]

A boxed Alternators Mirage I don't have to pay £60+ for. Without shipping.


Maybe later...

[DevastaTTor]

Well, I'd love to see MP Dinobots. How bad ass would Grimlock be if he transformed into slightly more Jurassic Park-styled T-rex and then into the great MP G1 looking robot? Having all 5 would ROCK. A MP Shockwave would be killer too. As for what exists, I'd love to find a BotCon Classics Thundercracker. Find it at a reasonable price that is.

[Cyber-Kun]

Since the list is for real transformers, I'd like to find a G1 Sixshot.

[Hyper-Chicken]

Current stuff - BotCon 2007 Thundercracker

Gen 1 - Optimus Prime, Megatron, Dinobots, Shockwave, Blaster, Galvatron, Bumblebee, Brawn, Soundwave, Jetfire
(Basically all the stuff I had as a kid. They don't have to be MIB. If loose just complete or close to complete. Nice enough to display)

[tom brokaw]

i dont have any items that i want that are "grail" status, but i really want a megs shoeformer and a pepsi prime. plus i want to see friggin deluxes at retail stores again!
