What is your Holy Grail??
« on: March 23, 2011, 02:23:35 PM »

The question is simple:
What is the Holy Grail of your collection? Your Flagg; the first fig you got as a kid; a very rare item...? Post a pic if possible and tell us why this item is the jewel of your collection!

i still want my holy grails: a complete WHALE, a complete Mauler and a complete Tomahawk. in fact, i'm pretty sure I'll never get them.

my crown jewel is probably my Skystriker. it's my crown jewel because it's in pretty good condition and is complete and it was my favourite toy as a kid. and still is.

For a long time it was AVAC. Got one 8 years ago.

I don't think there is anything I'm really after right now.

I do need most of Night Force stuff and i love the figures from Europe but none of that is "Gotta have" for me. If it was, I would have the night force stuff by now.

There is only a few ARAH pieces I still need and I don't even remember what they are anymore. I guess once I took down my Joe room I sort of lodt the drive to complete the set.
