Traditional Grail items were always:
Flagg Defiant Cobra Missile Command HQ Others would say: Joe HQ Terror Drome Whale Night Raven Mobile Command Center Skystriker tomahawk mauler dragonfly Mobile Command Center Many of these fell off after newer versions were made. Many don't fit modern figures well, and when much of the ARAH collection dropped in value due to the modern collection some fell out of favor... I think some of the sears and JC Penney stuff is now more wanted, and there is strong international collection community growing. Grails also change based on what you have or what you have room for. So for me: I could never warrant a Flagg, so: My Grails I had and no longer have room for are Joe HQ terror Drome tactical Battle Platform Grails I have: Whale Night Raven OG Rattler Items I view as personal grails I do not have and still want!

In the ME line, that would be 25th Alpine since only one version has been released of him so far.

Another ME Grail is TTT Slaughter, since he was only available online directly from HTS for about 15 seconds. I didn't score one that way, but I went the ebay/overseas route about a day after Slaughter gate. Got it for half of what he's worth now.

Hmm.. probably my 3 Flaggs for vehicles.. as for vintage figures.. Cobra de Aco from my childhood with filecard.
As for ME figures.. probably all of my unreleased ROC and 25th figures. Hoping to add the unreleased python croc and concept blowtorch to them at some point.

Right now, my only holy grail item that I'm looking for is the JoeCon Daina from the Oktober Guard set.

MY holy grails were the Defiant, Terror Drome and Flagg, all of which I have been lucky enough to acquire.
My remaining grail is a MISB or open but still new Rolling Thunder. I have been looking for years and cannot find one that is not AFA. |

I felt when I got the snake eyes vs. red ninjas sideshow statue, I'd acquired a holy grail. I even called it that. A ME Grail to me is a carded dial tone. Easy to get, but pricey.
