    Current grail quests?

    I know our needs, wants and desires change on a weekly basis. Just curious what's on everyone's radar in mid 2011. Here's my quest:

    Super Joe Darkon - I know I will never find this piece. It has eluded my since childhood when I first saw one at a friend's house. I'd settle for pieces that I could have someone here repair/string. The trick I guess is to find the sword.

    Super Powers Shazam - I know there are several available at most times on Ebay, but I'm cheap. I keep hoping I'll find that hidden auction with the unbeatable deal.

    Micronauts Force Commander - I missed out last week on an auction for a MIB version. I forgot about the auction's end time and completely blew it. What's worse is the winning bid was lower than I was going to bid. I want a nice minty bright white one nad complete.


    Yeah I know it's not a very impressive grail list, but I'm pretty easy to please. I'll keep hunting...

    I recently acquired a Topper Toys Motorized Monster Maker with the hard to find Dr. Shriek (which i had as a kid) molds and accessories. Now I'm trying to find the Super-Plastic Goop or a replacement product. I may end up casting one in resin. I'm also looking to acquire Astronautilus of the colorfoms aliens. He is the last one I need.

                Currently I'm looking for a vintage Aurora Monster Scenes Frankenstein and Dr. Deadly MIB. I've seen the Dr. Deadly on ebay but the price is way to much.

                      Isn't it the same stuff they used in the creepy crawlies maker. You know, that boys version of the easy bake oven.

                        I'd like to get my hair back, but let's focus on what's really possible...

                        Matt Mason: Scorpio and Jeff Long.
                        Mego: Batgirl and Galahad.
                        SMDM: Bigfoot.

                        I had ten grails listed last year, so I guess I scored the other five in one year. Not too shabby...

                        Oh, and a life-size R2D2, thank you very much...

                              Both of my current grails are not in the toy arena.

                              I collect Anri hand carved wine corks, bar sets, nutcrackers etc. Really neat pieces of art and when I show visitors some items from my collection....they are all amazed at how nice they are. Anyway, there is a bar set called the Cannibals bar set that is the one item I have wanted for years but they are hardly ever show up on Ebay or anywhere else. Sure enough, one comes along on a collecting site and is entertaining offers. This is a high priced set, so make a private offer higher than book value thinking nobody is crazy enough to offer that (and I finish that chase piece). Well, someone offered 4 times what I offered....off the map crazy.

                              I would also love to obtain a 1937 Redskins World Championship Program. Also know it is crazy price but I would take one in any condition at this point just for a place holder. I acquired a 1942 Program which has some condition issues so this would be nice to go with it.
