good question this, for me the holy grail is everything i have in the collection as i only collect from the era of my childhood which is what makes it for me.
i can go and forget i'm an adult with bills to pay and work hassle and be a child again it doesn't hurt anyone and it makes me happy, it also has opened new doors to meet people i would never of met and to be part of something world wide talking to you guys and finding out and seeing how different but yet universal our hobby is, for me that is the holy grail.

and the mint in box action force stuff is pretty cool too  :wink:



Best reply so far! +1 to that!  :timbits:

Most of my prized items in my collection would be on the bottom shelf of this picture:



The big brown box is a BHT toy store made by a 6 year old customer of mine (11 now). He had to do a project on his favourite place in the entire world - and it turned out to be my place... not TRU or Disney. ;)

The guy in the case on the left is a custom headsculpt of me made by our own Loop about 8 years ago.

The rest of the items on that shelf hold special meanings for me as well and are things I'll never part with.

+1 for having a Max Headroom collectible as part of your Holy Grails.

Which one? Me? The headsculpt Loop did?
Not currently. But I can get one later on if it crosses my mind. There's also a Doc Brown head on that shelf.

And there's the Frere tuck too from the Kevin Kostner Robin Hood movie. I know I have Robin Hood from that line (the one that was made using the body of Super Powers Green Arrow).

I know these are very common on U.S cards (Snakes is an 11 back), but being Canadian I want what was on the shelf when I was little and these are very scarce Canadian examples!

I was pleased to find that I still had my grails when I was sorting though my vintage collection.  They are the straight arm original Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Cobra The Enemy, Short Fuse, Stalker, Breaker, Grunt, Flash and Clutch.  I thought I had gotten rid of them a while back but it was the swivel arm versions.  My favourite growing up was the Terror Drome but I gave it to my cousins many moons ago  I was tired of hauling it around when I kept moving.  Looking back that was dumb of me because I did have a storage unit at the time where all my other toys were.

None Joe grails are my four Centurion 8" figures:  Jake Rockwell, Ace MaCloud, Max Ray, and Doc Terror.

if all goes well i could have my other holy grails soon:



just working on the details

 :o lucky guy!  :P

I always wanted one of those when I was a kid but they were way too expensive.  I loved the whole line.  Made by Tonka right?

And Mike I think the BHT store is awesome!  Definitely priceless.

You know, I have a complete set of Centurion figures, vehicles - etc. Missing one helmet... or part.... I forget.
Totally forgot I had it until now.
