    Mine would be a giant oversized Halloween coloring book with a bunch of monsters in it from around 1977-78

    The cover was grayish purple and it had a big Witch's profile on it.

    I think it was a scholastic books or weekly reader item because my 2nd grade teacher cut one up for halloween and gave everyone a 2-sided page to color. It had regular monsters in it like Frankenstein and Dracula .

    It also had a bunch of strange ones like "Mean Man Mongo" and "The Faces in The Fire".

      definetly the Aquaman VS Shark playset. How many of these have you seen around the place? I don't think I'll be getting one any time soon, if at all ever, they are too expensive and too hard to find.
      The chances of one being for sale at the same time as me having my Mego fund's that high are incredibly slim.

        I think it's pretty cool how everyone has different grails,come on that coloring book from Mego geek ?? he could've easily said a $1000 figure and instead he chose a coloring book that's probably no more then $50,I think that's awesome

          Besides the usual carded and boxed Megos and some more playsets I'm also looking for a couple of things I had as a kid. One being the 3D picture sets from Tru Dimensions. I had Batman, Superman, and Spidey growing up but only have Batman left. I also discovered there is Tarzan and Star Trek as well. I'm also looking for the Aurora large puzzle of Spider-man. I don't think they are grails as far as price but are just hard to locate.

              Mine would have to be the cispa apes. Not really outrageous in price just hard to come by.

                What the hell, I might as well make it something that's completely unobtainable: the Garada K-7 Jumbo Machinder (possibly one of the rarest and most valuable toys out there). Oh well, at least I managed to see one in person, that will have to be good enough.

                  The way I look through old attics, books, etc, I WILL find something along the lines of a #1 Action or #1 Detective comic one day!!

                  About 100 years ago, Tulane University had a female college next door called Newcomb College. They are famous for their pottery, and I would love to find one as well.

                    Mine was the Cipsa POTA figures too. I got a couple here and there, but never came across a good Bill, Corny or Zaius, then out of the blue a member here sold me the complete set. I've been kinda burnt out since. Not knowing what I want now. The new Trek figures have been keeping me going.

                        This is very interesting. Some good choices.

                        PS To whoever it was, I would love a Garada K-7... or just any of the jumbo villains.

                                My grail is more of an event than an item. You know, finding a few unopened boxes of WGSH, or walking into some old backroads 5 and dime and finding figures on the shelves.... you know, the sort of thing that will never happen
