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

Anything screen used from the Lord of the Rings trilogy would be considered a Grail to me personally. Especially any of the weapons or costume pieces. I'm curious what happened to all the little items, the stuff nobody hardly noticed. Plus the thousands of weapons made for the productions, man that would be sweet.
My other would be my functional pipboy Mk 4 from fallout 4. Almost done with the bad boy now and that is currently my Grail.
 
My 1st Grail was a real G R A F L E X based lightsaber. My first prop ended up being an ESB one so right out the gate, I had my grail lol.

Since then, it became a Temple of Doom fedora and whip...which I now have.

A hero Proton Pack with sounds and lights is the next one, which I'm working on now....slowly.

I guess a 1:1 ESB Vader is a grail that I may/may not ever get too.

And of course a 1:1 ESB based Millenium Falcon with as much ANH included(mostly the turrets and of course, they move), but you know....money haha. I will watch the progress on the "Full Size Falcon" project and someday hope to get lost in the completed Falcon :love
 
My lifelong dream (perhaps not a 'Holy Grail' as they're not rare by any means) is a screen-accurate Blastech E-11.

I know, I know…not exactly original; but looking back it's interesting to see how much this weapon has inspired me; and how much of a prop replica junkie at heart I always was. I remember making a wooden blaster in shop that had bits inspired by the E-11 like a Hengstlerish counter half-attached to the sight (still got that in a box somewhere.)… I also had an original ESB-era Hasbro E-11 which I painted over (I know, I know! I was, like, 10 all right…) to get cover the stickers and red barrel holes so that it would look more like the movies.

Anyhow, my dream is close at hand now as I have recently acquired the Doopydoos' E-11 replica kit as well as their Hasbro conversion kit (not going to chop up old toy I found one on eBay).
 
well the robot from the lis movie is my holy grail and I've started looking for plans bits and so if any one can help i hear some of the spare parts were for sale on ebay a while back so if anyone knows who's got the i would like to buy them or get the measurements from them i will be putting this info on the b9 builders club files for everyone .....terry
 
have you gone to the b9 builders club you just have to make one part a week and you'll get there best of luck ....terry

My first grail was to own an original screen used X-Files 'I Want to Believe' poster from Mulder's office. (any season)
And now i've just managed to pick up a screen used poster from the season 10 event series.
Cannot wait for it to arrive!

Next on my list are screen used ID badges for Mulder and Scully.
 
What is your 'Grail' and do you own it?

I do now! Finally added my dream Idol to the two other favorite Indy props of mine, (a Herbert Johnson fedora and a David Morgan Bullwhip.) I freakin' love this thing!

I've had to build mine.

R2 and a Proton Pack are my prized Possessions.

3P0 comes second. I just wish I could find a manaquin that fits him for proper display ;o).

I can't afford anything screen used. but I REALLY wanted Shredders Secret of the Ooze Helmet and a Mutagen Canister that where on ebay ten years ago.
Wish they'd make the rounds again.

Thanks, Brad. That means quite a bit to me, coming from the RPF's one & only 'Idol Guru' himself. ;-) (Speaking of which, how many 'Goblers' are you actually sporting around the house these days? 6 or 7?) :D I think at this point you've got more Screen-Accurate Fertility Idols kickin' around than the Lucasfilm Archives itself!

Hahaha. Thanks bud. Nah, I pared it down to just one. I think at one time I had 3 Goblers and the Sideshow idol. Just need one. ;)
 
My grail would be an ANH Obi Wan saber, and as you might guess I do not own one. Since I have recieved my Anovos TK armor, that's another sort of grail I now own and which I thought I never would.
 
i had 3 when i started collecting.

Predator mask (I own the HCG P1)
Pulse rifle (I own an original HCG brown bess)
Conan sword (I own the Museum replicas one, would like an albion one day)
 
My grails; all from The Secret of NIMH:
A maquette of Mrs. Brisby (Beginning to think this will never happen.)
One of the crew jackets. (Might have scored one of these.)
The lantern used for the rotoscoping of the elevator used in the rosebush. I think this may be in a museum though.
The crown jewel of my collection currently is a production cel of Mrs. Brisby where she is batting her eyes at Jermey.

I really want to make a prop of the stone amulet and the box Nicodemus stores it in. The box won't be that difficult but the amulet may be quite difficult as I'm not a machinist. I've seen other replicas of the stone but they all fall short.
Would also like to make/have made a replica of Jenner's sword.
 
My grail is an R2 and an Apollo space suit. I'm working on my R2, but I think I'm still a couple years out from completion.

Yep, I'm on astromech. I'm doing an all aluminum 3-2-3 build...probably another 2 years to completion. All the guys in my shop are building them together. Currently, we're engineering a way to make the power port actuallu charge the R2 :) We all about have the domes done and will soon be getting our COM8 frames!

Here's my shop for your viewing pleasure. Small but good. We're building a paint booth right now.
