i can appreciate the rarity of these toys and the desire of collectors to get the most obscure and rare items, but i personally have no desire to obtain things simply because they are rare. my own personal grail items are metlar and d’compose from the inhumanoids. my brother and i had these as kids and i have fond memories of playing with them. they are what i consider expensive but not outside the realm of reason. i’m not a completionist so im not looking for boxed/sealed/carded toys, loose is perfectly fine with me. i’m hoping to get at least one of these in the upcoming year.

And lets throw Got Bots in too (Robo Machines as they were called here in the UK) - They were very underrated, OK! Cy-Kill was Meh! but the Harley Davidson Night Strider was FREAKING ACE!!! And it WHOOPED Hasbro's offerings!!!! Much as I love my Transformers, Go-Bots actually did have better quite frequently! And the Top 1 is A BOARD GAME BELIEVE IT OR NOT! Called "Klonks and Klones" here in the UK... I always wanted this board game so I could try and get to play games with my sisters...

This one easily sets you back a couple 1.000 bucks but in a way that's my idea of a grail piece. That one piece that you know is out there, that you've seen, but basically is (In this case price-wise) nigh elusive. That one piece that you are satisfied with knowing it exists, having already seen it and where you've already made peace with the thought that you may never own it.

Mine is MISB G1 Transformers Headmaster Weirdwolf. It’s my favorite transformer and although it’s not a popular toy it’s my grail. You don’t see them often just because it’s not something people are actively trying to find.

For me my definite top grail figures are The Blank from the playmates Dick Tracy line is the only one of the set I'm missing and you never see it loose and the final wave of WWF Hasbro figures but everyone trying to get a big payday selling them mint on card. I would like to start collecting those Turly Gang guys but they aren't really a North American thing huh?

My personal Toy Grail is a plushie of a japanese manga character from the 90's called Nyako, I really like the manga and it's also one of those things that keeps me motivated to save money to go to japan as it is almost impossible to find in any other country This is not a competition but I hope I win weirdest toy grail, haha

Nice video mate, really like that Rodan the most on your list. For my collection, my top 3 grails are the following; 1. 1999 Star Wars TPM Queen's Royal Naboo Starship 2. 1997 Jurassic Park Lost World Mobile Command Centre 3. 1993 Jurassic Park Command Compound Centre All 3 are large playsets to an extent. All 3 are the last items I need to complete these toy lines also. I've just never seen them in the wild or on original release

Clash of the Titans Kraken because it was my favorite movie as a kid, and Medusa gave me my first nightmare. I followed her as she slithered through the house and vanished into my grandmother's closet. Super creepy for a four year old. I have most of the figures and some additions of my own like Pegasus and giant scorpions. Would love a complete set.
