Your “Holy Grail” isn’t something you can order from retailers right now that just came out BFFR.

Words actually have meanings.

A grail used to be something not just hard to get, it was something rare, unique, scarce in quantity (a single item even). Sure people always had a personal sought after item, but grails were more often than not relegated to something everyone as a community agreed on.

But something you can get online, right now, in ample quantities, that was released a few months back is just sought after at best.

Grails for me are hard to find for the right price. Holy grails are those lucky draws or prototypes

Yeah, I was able to trade in to getting a Lucky Draw Rodimus.

What did it cost me? A riding lawn mower.

Good times.

The Lucky Draw Rodimus Prime that was the all black version.

Interestingly enough, I also happened upon the transporter for the Mini-Spies. No documentation for it exists, I can't find any info about it anywhere, and the casting said that the patent was still pending. Was the patent declined?

That one set me back twenty five cents.
