Interestingly, at least to me, I don't think I'll ever have another "Holy Grail." I have zero interest in ever starting another collection, and actually hope that I don't. I have all of the vintage SW guys and even if I started looking to get the unreleased Droids and Ewoks I'd be happy with very crappy customs.
Even the last ~30 MUSCLE figures I need aren't a big deal. If I get them, fine. If I don't get them, fine. At this point in my life, I really enjoy the leisurely hunt and having fun here – plus putting together stuff for the UofM site.

To a far less degree, I still need a pink MIMP Cockatrice to accompany my orange one. I've got every other rare MIMP figure I really want, although a Leviathan and Amphisbaena would be cool eventually. But nothing else commands my attention as much as that one little purple wrestler, for sure.

There's all sorts of toys I could still use, but as far as LRGs go, there's really one and only one grail - the dark purple MUSCLE #154, Ammonite.

Favorite figure I own is SHA.
I do own a Purple 107 (available for trade), 10 pack can with green Claw (thanks Jkaris), and two, 4 packs sealed SC (one available for trade).
Holy Grail to me would be a Purple Claw and a one of a kind Super Rare.

Probably just a lot of casual color MUSCLE and MIMP trades and purchases in my future for a while.

My Grail hasn't changed, though. Resaurus Orgg figure (mint in box, or otherwise).
And you are here, with them, as so many specks of sand.

Dude, you stole my idea!I guess my next big dream, toy-wise, would be to open up a toy museum that has an associated toy shop to help revenues. For me, that would be awesome.
However, I only plan for my toys to become museumpieces once I'm dead and gone...
Oh, and visiting the museum should be completely free,
but the awesome associated toy shop of course wouldn't be.
PS to all you sickos here, I don't consider toys holy
PPS it would be cool though to get a complete complete complete set of all things battle/laserbeasts
EVER produced, INcluding ALL the GREAT customwork!

And to be perfectly honest, I have a large cigar box, holding my small horde of Hulk mini figures. I've got a small stash of Red Hulk figures from both HoH and the new Heroics line, but honestly, I'd like to fill that box with Red Hulks.
The final piece of my "Holy Grail" is to have a complete set of my own pieces (I've been working on a project for quite some time; When it is respectable enough, I'll share it with you guys), cast in hard rubber or plastic. Even better, if I can get those toys into many other households as well.

For me, the "Holy Grail" is less of one piece, but more of collecting all of the crap that I loved when I was a kid. I have already tracked down a bunch of it...
I'm going that route with the golf gift certificate I won. Regular Nintendo with 99 lives on Contra, many other games, and Game Genie will be mine soon one way or another.
