... I would have waited an eternity for these...

This tread makes me smile just because I know, HD, you would have one at the moment the size of a freight train.
Congratulations mate, how insanely cool it is to see you finally acquire an un-obstructed Blue-Bluestreak Box-art piece, only to have that followed up with an incredibly minty Blue-Bluestreak figure only days later.
I look forward to seeing what this amazing acquisition is followed up with, I know what I hope it is...

I continue to say it, but HD - You are the Master of 'Seek and Acquire'!

Thanks Hursti, you summed it up very well in terms of how awesome it is to have obtained an unobstructed piece of bluesteak art followed by the blu Bluestreak itself!

Meh...

Well done on obtaining your long-term grail.
(I know how exciting and relieving it feels)

But I wonder if you are feeling what I feel? - not having a replacement super-rare grail to obsessively hunt for. When I finally got the BC94 Breakdown, there hasn't been anything filling my number-1 spot since... because it had
been my grail for so many years. Nothing else seems worthy, and the toy hunt on ebay is just not the same without the 'grail' item being first on my mind.
It's like completing a collection... it feels good at first, but you start missing 'the hunt'.
Or do you already have a new grail?

You got the BC94 breakdown? Congrats dude! That must be such a milestone.

In a way I feel very much like you do. For years and years this has been my number grail, now that I have it, there is a void. I have always distinguished between "wants" and a true grail. Where I have many wants, I have always maintained that I only have one grail (God Primus was a mini grail). Now that I have it, there won't be "another" grail to take it's place.

So in answer to your question, no, there is not 'new' grail.

The throne is empty, long live the king!

Big Congrats!

Looking forward to finding out the 6 new transformers you will be unveiling!

Thanks Rob. 1 of the 6 are in the house. I'm picking up another 1 tomorrow and the package of 4 has arrived (according to my tracking info).

I'm tossing up between unveiling one by one or all at once....

totally awsome!!!

Can't wait to see what these 6 are going to be. I bet whatever they are they will be jawdroppingly exquisite

1 was in 2 days ago and I just got 4 of them home today. Didn't manage to pick up the last one, but will do it tomorrow... very excited!

Have updated my blog with the story of this Bluestreak's acquisition.

Considering you only have 7 JP wants in your siggie... it'll be more interesting to see which one has been missed.

Congrats man. I was recently told I'd be getting two of TF holy grails as gifts recently so I KNOW how great a feeling it is.

That's a good point, but with HD and E on the hunt it'll only be a matter of time.

So which ones did you get?

Interesting point you brought up griffin... heh.

Doing a preliminary unveiling in the next post (not part of the 6, but their interrelated, of sorts).
