I completely understand what one defines as their holy grail is completely subjective. Considering it hadn't really been discussed what a grail is, I simply thought I'd share what that is to me and what that quest means to other dedicated collectors. To me, it's not about simply being able to afford things like Hot Toys or comic statues, it's about the hunt (as "questing for the holy grail" implies). If you find yourself on the hunt for a new "holy grail" every other week, I think you could raise the standard just a wee bit for what a grail is to you.

Pushing aside anything I've said that may lead to misunderstanding or further accusations of snobbery, I'd simply love to hear about something they feel (or once thought) they could only dream of obtaining. Is it a special edition that was given away via lottery? Is it a rare prototype that never went into mass production? Is it a limited edition that was sold through a boutique shop in Japan on a rainy day? Is it a relative toy signed by your favorite tokusatsu actor/actress?
