Holy Grail/Moby Dick thread

Well, right now I'm grailling pretty hard for a grilled cheese sandwich.

Nothing, actually. Feels good.

these guys, but for a fair price.

>>4752975
Saw this guy, but didn't know he was sought after.

>>4753039
There is a whole set of them, but since the game was so obscure and apparently the joints are really fragile, I don't think people ever picked them up or saved them type thing.

>>4753016
I've seen these type of robots a lot in the collection threads, whats their significance?

It sort of depends on what counts as a grail. There's plenty of stuff that's 3-4 times it's original price, but still isn't expensive or rare enough to be considered a grail. I'd love to pick up a set of robot damashii EVAs, for instance, but they're in that weird area where they're not THAT expensive but still expensive enough that they wouldn't be worth it.

Closest thing I've got my eye on is MP-10, but he's getting a reasonable reissue so that'll take care of itself soon enough.

i like how they look, isnt that enough?
this one was a goodsmile exclusive though but i already own this one and want to get him a "partner".

>>4753090
Oh! I didn't mean it like that, they're awesome.

Just wondering what they're from, that kind of thing.

>>4752975
Woah I have a couple of those. They've sat on my shelf forever. I was super into the game when I was little and convinced my mom to buy me some of those figures off ebay.
I had no idea how rare they've become.

It's on ebay and I'll prolly buy it eventually by no choice but if I ever saw one irl I would buy it immediately.

>>4753170

Yo, anon, you interested in selling/trading?

Op, those bots are made by a company called ThreeA. He was probably hesitant to answer you as their stuff gets used to troll this board a lot so we are kind of shunned outside our general.

I'm really sorry man. These hold a SHITLOAD of nostalgia for me. They're also missing parts and are kinda dinged up because I played with them a whole bunch. They were like my favorite toys.
I just moved them to my display case to keep them safe from cats and other hazards

>>4752975
Wow, many years ago I remember passing on these at my local anime/game/toy shop. Had no idea they'd become desirable.

As for me, well...hmm. I don't think I have any anymore. All of my actual hard-to-find ones have been found and bought. Now I just have a list of stuff that is out of reach for financial reasons. Like, right now I guess the hardest one to obtain would be Hot Toys ED-209, which I want just to have something obscenely big and imposing on my top shelf. Well, and because I love him with all my heart.

HOOOOOLY FUCK I NEVER KNEW THIS EXISTED. And in Hello Nasty sardine can packaging too! Absolutely perfect. The only way to make this better would be if they included swappable Intergalactic jumpsuits as well.

>>4753698
Man, consider yourself lucky!

If you do ever need some extra dosh, or if anybody else has any they'd like to sell or trade you can just drop me a line in the Nintendo General.

Fuck, so jelly!

Same here. Do This Pose and Best ROM threads always give me the hankering to get my hands on one, and I've never even seen Evangelion. Hopefully they'll reissue or at least release another remold for whatever the franchise is currently doing because I've read nothing but great things about their posability.

Hagen no Zista v1. People are selling individual figures for the retail price of the entire set, and I have actually considered buying them at that price.

He never said it wasn't, just not the best.

For one his teeth get in the way of blowjobs, and is overall very, very unpleasant.

My current holy grail is this Digimental of Miracles toy. I have Vmon, Hawkmon and Armadillomon from that line. I bought a Hawkmon last year and I never thought I'd be able to find them all but I've been lucky the last few months. I only saw the Digimental of Miracles on Mandarake once for 5000 yen and never again. I regret not buying it so much.

>>4754721
Oh god, I haven't seen the Defense Force batsu game yet. I already lost from that clip!

Another grail is that Maschinen Kriger 1/6th Snowman with the female pilot RAH. It's like a thousand dollars lol.

Hi Tracky

>>4755088
one of my old forum friends got that new for like 14 dollars or something at some toy store near chicago or something. few years back.

I wish I was that lucky... I'd punch a Nun for one of these guys

>>4754754
I own all three of those in your picture

It was a huge pain in the butt to track them all down. Good luck.

Sucks you missed out, he was selling for retail at the Pokemon Center site not too long ago.

I thought about grabbing one but I'm not too interested in SD stuff.

SCM EX Virgo Shaka, as well as 5 other EX Gold Saints. Also SHMA Burning Godzilla but I'm currently stalking Mandarake for that one.

I have SHMA SOS Kiryu but the '02's blue accessories would definitely make a second Kiryu worth it.

It's just way to pricy, along with all the other Ex-Gokin Getters I'd love to have. I also don't actually know if they're any good in terms of posability and shit but damn, I think they look amazing. Don't know what it is about them.

That's not a grail then. A grail is something you've sought long and hard for, and place significant importance upon. There's no part in legend about Arthur knowing where the grail was, seeing a price tag on it, and going "nah guys we'll wait a while for a bro price, I'm feeling jewish."

If you can see obtain it and won't, it's not a grail, it's just a thing you covet.

>>4756425
For the record. That's actually a Garage kit for converting a soul of chogokin Mazinger Z into Gekiganger 3. It was sold for 200 dollars-ish in 1999 at WonFes.

But I'm there with you. I'd buy ANY Gekiganger 3 toy.

I would be happier not knowing there was a Xamel I could own. Fuck you Bandai.

>>4756477

Also, the Samus figma, but I can save up money for that now.

>>4756477

Wait you want the MSIA Xamel? I might be able to find one for you for a decent price.

>>4756398
Gemini, Leo, Scorpio, Pisces, and my Cancer's cloth's paint chipped significantly and I doubt Bluefin will be of any help at this point so I'll have to rebuy it. As for Virgo, I prefer the anime version which goes upwards of 20000 yen. They're not worth more than twice the msrp.

>>4756485

Yeah, the MSIA. Tried ebay, but they're all 100 bucks or more. Appreciate it.

>>4756711

I found one for 60 bucks opened if you're interested, I feel bad because a year ago I sold one for 20 bucks NIB before seeing how much it goes for.

email me so I can link you the 60 dollar one if you want. [email protected]

no

but it is a revoltech-imitator. hobby kit tho. I like it, looks vastly superior to the figma.

Off topic but what's up with the "shield is also a holster for the sword" trope that I see all the time? I've only ever seen it in Japanese toys/characters, Kamen Rider, Gundam, I think at least one Digimon...

>>4757028

Rule of cool

>>4757028
I actually was curious about this once and did a lot of research regarding this trope. I found pretty much that except for a few recent western film examples, it is strictly a eastern only thing.

I basically came to a little pet theory, the japanese got the idea of sword being stored in shields because everytime they saw them hung up in some western home, they were set up like a coat of arms. Shield in front with swords crossed behind it. The japanese not familiar with western sense of decorating one's home with weaponry simply assumed that the shield is how westerners stored swords.

sure it is a far fetched theory, but it is amusing.
