What is your 'grail' and do you own it?

snaze1 · Mar 29, 2015

The day after I win the lottery I am turning up at work in this to hand in my resignation!
Unfortunately It's £79,000 and I'm roughly £78,999 short!

I don't own it
and if we''re talking about prop rooms, the library of the librarian

If you are going to own something from Van Helsing it might as well be this!!!!

Did you complete your real parts ANH saber? Congrats. I know you've been working on it for a long time. It looks great.

I've wanted to own a prop tricorder for almost a decade and a half, but being in the position I'm in, where I can barely make ends meet, that does not allow for much extra spending. :/ And even the Playmates TNG trics are super expensive these days. :/

I have seven Holy Grails.

6ft Toys R Us Millenium Falcon. Had one, had to sell. I will get another.

Master Replicas Falcon. Same. Had one, had to sell, will get another one.

EFX RMQ Vader Helmet , and again had one, had to sell, will get another one.

Deagostini Falcon. Got a few pieces so far. Getting two. One to keep and the second to either trade for one of the above or keep.

1/1 Ark of the Covenant-Phillip at Rebelscum just finished it. Kit will be coming. Not sure how many.

5ft Millenium Falcon Model-Been told a kit is coming for many years now.

1/1 Endoskelton from Sideshow. Probably gonna skip given Sideshow's poor quality and customer service. Even if I can get a good one I'm not sure I can justify giving such a bad company so much money. Insanely expensive piece for a working man anyway. Probably just put that money into re-building my collection.

Speaking of Holy Grails I need a new Indy Holy Grail cup but I only want a Bazzanno jones version and I can't get him to return any of my PMs

18 more months and the wife is done with school and my nightmare can end.

Then it's pay Husband back time

Delorean Time Machine

Don't own any of them, but I happily own a Hot Toys '89 Batmobile which is a great place holder.

One of my grails can be seen in my avatar

Another one is my latest purchases, which I still haven't received. Jumping up and down in anticipation.

But my GRAIL?

Screen used Browncoat. There were three used, and I got the one with the most screen time.
If you've seen a promo picture of Mal in his coat; it was almost certainly this one.
I've had this for a few years now and it still makes me happy, every time I think about it.

Have you checked out the licensed browncoat they are selling? Is it any accurate at all? :confused

Abbyshot? I have friends who have them. They're not bad I guess, except for the split panels.
Personally, I got my 'wearin' around coat' from Johnathan Logan, and even that one isn't perfect.

It's all in how much you're willing to spend.

ambulanceartist · Apr 9, 2015

With Jurassic Park being my favorite movie, I've thought of several of it's props as "grails". But it wasn't until recently that I feel I got the one that will definitely now stand out as my favorite.

My new 1992 Jeep Wrangler Sahara edition. Future JP Jeep 09

Funky · Apr 9, 2015

I'd be happy if I had an accurate captains chair from Star Trek TOS.

indeed. The grail I'm waiting for is in fact a jacket. It's also easily the most expensive replica/movie related I have purchased to date.

Harrison4257 · Apr 11, 2015
