Transformers Holy Grails and Loose Ends

[jgon2098]

I hope they are holy grails because you really want them and not because they are really expensive (and hence out of reach).

Whatever I define my holy grail to be, and the reasons for doing so, thats completely up to me, wether thats because of PRICE/RARITY or sentimental value or attainability in the short-term is beside the point. Each collector has their own reasons for collecting, there is no rule saying why you should collect or what constitutes a holy grail, it is completely subjective and thats how it should be.

As you probably know, the 'released' G2 line is not that hard to collect, people were throwing them in for free with deals at botcons. The most valuable released ones is probably the orange devastator set, and even that is not that difficult to obtain. The g2 protypes menasor and defensor is what drives me to complete my collection. Most collectors are intrigued by rarity, and with rarity comes price. If you really need an 'unartificial' reason for me to justify my own holy grail, it is that these 2 prototype sets are actually carded, most prototypes are just fragile uncolourful loose figures that were used as initial moulds to the final toys.
