    I was watching a minty boxed one go for US$1200 the other day.
    It had a broken hinge on the shield but otherwise looked pretty nice.

    My holy grail is the G2 prototypes MOSC...menasor and defensor...

    They will literally cost more than 40,000 USD. no joke... I don't know if I ever will have enough money or the stupidity to spend that much money... but you never know...

    The last loose motormaster went for 7k+ USD on the bay from memory...

    These are some links for the defensor...

    These are in my opinion the absolute HOLY GRAIL for a G1, G2 hybrid collector, simply because they were never released... but a very microscopic handful of collectors do have them.

    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.

    I really don't have any holy grails...

    In the past 6 months, Every late G1 figure I've wanted, I've obtained. In the future, I aim to get my hands on both a complete & in good nick Liokaiser and Dai Atlas for reasonable dollars. Being as they pop up from time-to-time on Ebay, I wouldn't really classify them as pipe dreams/holy grails as they are realistically obtainable.

    There's always a way... (besides winning lotto )
