I'm down to needing only one. After securing a Fort Max this week I only need Trypticon to have acquired all of my TF grails.

Of all the figures you've really strived to get how many do you still need?

Posted: **Sat Apr 14, 2007 11:11 am**

The ones that come to mind...

Major Grails:
- Victory Deathsaurus
- Botcon '05 Deathsaurus
- R.I.D Cryotek
- R.I.D Galvatron (who really shouldn't be that hard to find...)
- Universe Nemesis Prime
- Lucky Draw Sky Lynx (Flame Convoy Repaint)

Minor Grails:
- Hybrid Style Galaxy Convoy
- Armada Red Alert (who I did have, until my sister threw him into a wall and broke his leg off at the hip...)
- Armada Megatron or Galvatron
- Galaxy Force Black Fangwolf

The last Grail I managed to get my hands on was G1 Doublecross. I'd been admiring him from afar for so long; it was great to finally get him.

I still need Blowpipe. I desperately need Blowpipe. My collection - nay, my life - will not be complete until I have Blowpipe. In fact, Blowpipe is the very meaning of my existence. Or at least the existence of my collectionblowpipe.

Also need Insecticons.

The local comic book shop right around the corner from where I live has a Trypticon. I's open, but I think it was 100% complete. It was at a good price too... I have bought a 100% complete G1 Starscream for $45, and I just purchased a 100% complete G1 Ultra Magnus for $75.

Want me to check it out for you?

Also, all I need to purchase is a G1 Optimus Prime (hopefully I can get that with the re-re-issue this summer), Star Convoy, and G2 Laser Rod Optimus Prime.

I'd appreciate that bud. It is a Trypticon though, not the BW2 Gigastorm is it?

I dont really do grails. They tend to be a disapointment. But IF I was pinned down, I think the G1 train gestalt (Raiden) and Fort Max would be high on the list. More as stuff I'd get if I find myself with plenty of money.

Poor Triggerhappy must be lonely..

A boxed set Predaking (which i'd instantly tear open) is about all i'd call grail. I also have 7 different flavour Megatrons now, and some of the rarer ones would be cool to find.

Posted: **Sat Apr 14, 2007 12:50 pm**

At the moment, my only grail that I'll be able to afford is G1 Prime, since Takara's reissuing him again.

Major grails:
-G1 Omega Supreme, complete, working
-G1 Shockwave
-Some version of Fortress Maximus (the grail of grails)
-Any complete G1 Combinder (Preferibly Devastator, Menasor, Bruticus or Predaking, Autobot teams ftl)
-Either G1 or G2 Grey Grimlock, and other dinobots

Minor grails:
-G2 Laser Rod Prime
-Armada Unicron
-Alternators Ravage, Rumble, Swindle and Silverstreak, so I'll have every Alternator that I ever care to have
-Classics Devastator, so my Classics will be complete
-G1 Insecticons
-G1 Blitzwing or Springer
-Some form of the G2 Dreadwing mold

when i get the 2 reissues I need from Dough-Bot, I'll only need the G2 Laser convoy reissue to be complete for standard reissues

Posted: **Sat Apr 14, 2007 2:17 pm**

I really don't have any grails any more. My main ones were a sealed original Star Convoy and Lucky Draw Galaxy Convoy, which I now have both. A minor grail was LioKaiser, but now I have two boxed ones.

Posted: **Sat Apr 14, 2007 2:29 pm**

I don't have any grails. Mainly because when I would eventually get the figure, all the hype I'd have built up would have made the figure seem mediocre.

I've got both and they are both great pieces. I love Raiden, zero articulation really, but he looks so damn cool.

Me I'm looking for Browning, and then Guard City and Battle Gaea. All three of which ae relatively rare and insanely expensive. Wouldn't mind Monstructor and Dinoking to go with the rest of my combiners as well but those are lower on my list.

Posted: **Sat Apr 14, 2007 3:08 pm**

G1 Shockwave- they just keep getting more expensive by the day. And I'm sure he won't live up to my expectations.

RiD/Car Robots (I think) Brave Max- I like the colors on this one better than Fort Max, but damn, it's just as expensive MIB as a loose Fort Max, from what I've seen.

Sunstorm/Hauler- or at least just Sunstorm.

Posted: **Sat Apr 14, 2007 3:53 pm**

The main ones are Reissue Blaster (every site's sold out on him!) and MP Megatron.

I'm waiting on Masterpiece Voltron to arrive in the mail... :PRAY:

Posted: **Sat Apr 14, 2007 3:59 pm**

Some of my grails that I'd like to get:

•Grand Magnus
•LioKaiser
•Overlord
•Monstructor
•Dinoking

plus many, many more

Posted: **Sat Apr 14, 2007 5:53 pm**

Got a few achievable grails left:

G1 Minerva
G1 Grand Maximus
G1 Dinoking
G1 Victory Saber

True grails:

Lucky Draw Black Fire Convoy
Lucky Draw Black Tracks
Lucky Draw Black Sixshot
Lucky Draw anything else...

grails

i still need all of mine.

Well, i have my BT black convoy but i typically consider grails to be more expensive.

Grails don't have to be expensive or rare, just something you've been wanting to get but haven't been able to.

Doughbot has one for sale in his Carbombya thread.

well, in that case i'm yet to successfully get ahold of...
G1 shockwave
G1 starscream
JafCon prime
Nucleon quest convoy
...the last two are just because i keep buying other things.
the first two are because i either get sniped(shockwave) or don't trust the condition listed(starscream). I'd settle for the tfc screamer but i cant stand those fists.

Posted: **Sun Apr 15, 2007 12:18 pm**

Hmm, there are many, but one that instantly comes to ming is a super minty Reflector.

Posted: **Thu Apr 19, 2007 2:31 pm**

Most of things that I really want I could get a hold of, the one item I would really like to have but has been difficult to find is Diaclone Ultra Magnus.
