I do actually agree with how the term "Grail" is being used for toys like Figuarts Ichigou or something as cheap as the Figuarts Go-Busters.
The term isn't exactly subjective. It's supposed to refer to something that's extremely hard to get, not something that you just want at the moment. You can have a list of "Grails" but the biggest factor is that
unavailability is the key.
It's not really snobbery, it's just misuse of the term. Scarcity and price are both things that have to be put in mind when it comes to calling something a "Holy grail."
