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

Pretty nice coincidence for this thread to get bumped as I just recently finished my 'grail'!!! A 100% metal "hero" style M41A pulse rifle from Aliens. Only plastic in this thing is the grips. Just finished the build yesterday.

I discovered this place a long time ago. looking for Information on a gun. back then there wasn't open enrollment. so It was forgotten for awhile. then I joined and slowly learned more and more about this movie prop. then the Infatuation took hold.

There are lots of guns out there but this one Is mine. Thanks Clinton.:thumbsup

Holy hell. That's awesome!
I had a replica when I was a boy, my dad spent the first night up with a bottle of whiskey and a twelve gauge. True story.
He, and my hopes of becoming a great ventriloquist disappeared before the year was over.
 
Too many to list:

- Tron Light Cycle
- Bat Pod
- Original Jumanji Board
- Screen used Talkboy
- Queen Alien

I would love to have a screen used puzzle box (Hellraiser)
A Delorean
And i am starting to take screen grabs of the journal from Supernatural to start that build by mid year.
I would also like to have a set of horseman rings from Supernatural.
 
- A metal PKD from Blade runner. [tbh i'd settle for a resin kit because i doubt ill ever get a metal PKD in Australia]
- Animatronic head from Bicentennial man
- Screen used 'WInona' from Farscape.
- Maintenance Droid from Pacific Rim,
- Droid head from Automata

I have plenty more, and own none of them :p

A Firefly Mal 47a. I dont own one but I FINALLY got a Sidkit Mal!

My biggest want is a Model 47A Mal Firefly pistol (although right now I'd settle for a Sidkit for the time being). Gods I'd love to get hold of that gun!

Mal pistol with wood grips would be just too cool. qmx is cool but just something about metal plated plastic just seems odd and unsatisfying to me.

A screen used Mal Reynolds Oil Can gun.

My "Grail prop" was only recently acquired - my Model 47A from the VERY limited run back in 2005.

Also my full Alliance armor kit from Firefly.

Is now a good time to mention that I own not only a Philippes, Sidkit TV Mal, AND a 47A, but also a production made set of brass parts that were used to make Mals pistol from the show? Not screen used, but they would have been by season two.

Also two sets of alliance armor.
Helmet and chest armor. All I'm really missing is the shin guards.

Mine would be:

- Zoe Washburn's Mare's Leg gun from Firefly (which was previous used in other shows)

I also own Zoe's screen used stunt pistol. The Hero couldn't be imported back into the US. :(

3. Vera (Firefly)

Jayne Cobb's Vera.

And I'm in line to get a Vera in the near future.

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. :)

A 1:1 Sparrow from Destiny, wouldn't be terribly hard to build since it's built like a SW speeder bike but the fact it's over 7' long kinda limits owning it lol. I'd also love a Robocop suit, maybe some stuff from video game movies too.

Is now a good time to mention that I hate you?!?! Good lord, I don't believe that I have been this envious of someone in along time. If ever you feel you have far to much, let me know, I'm sure I could find it in my heart to take a few of these items off your hand. Ehhh??? Shiny :)

In all seriousness though, awesome collection :D
