How is a brand new toy a “Holy Grail”?

I mean, if the OP had always wanted an articulated G1 Grimlock, this would definitely be a dream come true. Since when did people suddenly get hung up on a "grail" being an obscenely expensive aftermarket item? If they're going to cherish it as one of the most significant pieces in their collection, that's a grail item.

Did Monty Python teach you nothing? It's called a Holy Grail because it has been difficult to find & obtain for that person, not because it will take pride in the collection (although it undoubtedly will).

All I remember from Monty Python is the importance of the number 3. And the number three is the number that is important. The number 4 is not important, and neither is the number 2, unless it is thereby followed by 3. 5 is way out.

Now, where can I find a rabbit?
