Another Grail Unvailed... Pics Inside!

[IronLungs31]

This is my most sought after grails since I have started collecting statues two weeks ago. 2 out 3 I have picked up, but this is no doubt my #1 the other should be here next week and it will be posted as well.

Nice

[oldboy26]

not to be mean but for something to be a grail wouldn't it be something that is hard for you to get and would take alot of effort to obtain? I mean if you just started collecting and you've already gotten it wouldn't it just be something you really wanted?

Cool statue thought. what is the size?

[bigdaddymcqueen]

and a very cool piece it is!!! congrats!!!

[jt4470]

It's a loose term.

For me it's for pieces that are relatively easy to find, but out of my price range.

[MeguiarsEM]

People use that term way too loosely now days. Everything is a grail here, even GI Joe figures you find at Target.

If this such an easy find the you have no ideal about statue collecting...;)

[Parler]

Congrats on a grail!!

[Verbal21]

damn, I want one now too, congrats on it. It's an amazing piece. I've always wanted to have the last # on a numbered item. How cool would it be to have 1500/1500:D

Never thought about that, but that would be cool to have!

[GuyverJ]

Nice piece.

[yzerman_federov]

I've never seen this before. Very nice ... congrats!!!

[RzeznikK]

Ive always liked this statue. Very cool. Can I request a back shot of it? Does Wolvie have his claws in Sabretooths back?

[MeguiarsEM]

Now this is a "grail". Can't buy this on eBay. ;)

That the one that I have coming sometime next week... The exclusive...BUDDY!... Stay Tuned....;):D

Like I said there is nothing out there out of my price range!

[MeguiarsEM]

I think you failed to notice this is the exclusive Artist Proof version BUDDY. If you're trying to show here head over to the Sideshow Freaks board, try to impress someone there. :rolleyes:

[IronLungs31]

AP are just replacement that where left behind after all the replacement where given out.... BUDDY! Nothing special about that... BUDDY!;)

Your a joke like I don't know what I'm talk about.

[MeguiarsEM]

AP's are produced in low numbers way before production pieces like the one you're getting next week are made.

AP are just replacement that where left behind after all the replacement where given out.... BUDDY! Nothing special about that... BUDDY!;)

Your a joke like I don't know what I'm talk about.

[IronLungs31]

Research buddy. AP's are produced way before production pieces like the one you're getting next week.


Yeah ok it's your story I'll let you tell it... I know read that info, so if you can prove me wrong drop the link BUDDY!...:rolleyes:

[MeguiarsEM]

Can someone check this foo?

Yeah ok it's your story I'll let you tell it... I know read that info, so if you can prove me wrong drop the link BUDDY!...:rolleyes:

[IronLungs31]

Why can't you... I was just showing my newly added statue which is my #1 grail. You started in with me and I will keep it going, if you provide the spark...;)

[ChrisM]

Gr8, now we have a d!ck measuring contest, and I can already see who the biggest one is.

[MeguiarsEM]

LOL.

Here you go. I'm done, just hate it when "grail" is used around here like its 1999.

It's not like that Chris just can't stand when I was just show my newly added statue. That all nothing more, nothing less.

[IronLungs31]

Now I will be a man and say I was wrong... You got me there, but like I said still my grail, and great arugement point made.

[MeguiarsEM]

Statements like these don't help your cause either.

AP are just replacement that where left behind after all the replacement where given out.... BUDDY! Nothing special about that... BUDDY!;)

Your a joke like I don't know what I'm talk about.

There is nothing out there out of my price range.

[IronLungs31]

If it was out there to be sold I still could my hands on it... Still not out of my price range. Most every statue has a price.

[Peter Hoffman]

LOL...

"I'm so rich, I can buy anything...blah, blah, blah...everyone be jealous of me...I'm so awesome"

[happynoodle]

Sweet haul! And I can't wait to see the other one your getting next week.

[IronLungs31]

I guess you have to call'em how you see'em...:rolleyes:

[IxSL4Y4xI]

Meh, if you guys want to talk about grail's then look at this guy, the mother of all grails (or at least it is for me).

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z274/xr6_turbo/PREDATOR%20STUFF%20INSURANCE%20PHOTOS/HotToysAVPScar8thAni-comEdition-1.jpg

The last one on Ebay went for about $1500.

Oh no, it isn't mine.
I will never be able to afford one of those. :o
I'm just found a picture of it to show you what I think the ultimate grail is. :D

Please, don't encourage him.

Sorry, i'm not a huge X-men fan, but these are some very cool statues.:cool:

Not a bad choice for a grail...:D

[AdrianMonk]

My grail was simple, 1990 ToyBiz Jokers van, after years of being outbid,finally got one a couple of weeks ago in the box for $36 shipped.

There is nothing wrong with chase of your particular grail. I happy that you were finally able to add that to your collection.

Congrats!

[wejackson26]

All that I can say to this is wow...:) You have to call'em how you see'em. Thread didn't start out that way.

[Smbdyfnkillme]

Great haul!!! This is one of the few VS. dioramas that I still need to buy.

[Gumbo]

I don't know if I would say it was my Grail but I do have an Artist Proof of the Snake Eyes Life Size Bust.

In October of 2003, Palisades Toys released the Snake Eyes Life Sized Bust, standing fourteen inches tall. This statue was limited to 450 pieces.

I have no clue how many Artist Proofs were made?

Consider yourself one of the lucky ones. You have yourself a great piece. If you wouldn't mind posting some pics that would be great.

[ilovefreestufftoo]

Cool, haul dude. I hope you have enough space if you just started collecting statues. Keep posting pictures. Don't worry about artist proofs and what not. It's not about the special one you got it's about how many of them you havet.

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p152/ilovefreestufftoo/DSCN2383a.jpg
please don't pm me about them. All of them are long gone now. I got greedy.

[Verbal21]

Now this is a "grail". Can't buy this on eBay. ;)
http://i42.tinypic.com/65oiuv.jpg


Is there any statue's of Cyclops, by himself, coming out with that costume? I really like that version of him

[IronLungs31]

congrats

LOL...

"I'm so rich, I can buy anything...blah, blah, blah...everyone be jealous of me...I'm so awesome"

lol thats how I see this thread, its all the guy says.

[IronLungs31]

lol thats how I see this thread, its all the guy says.

Then you must not have read the whole thread. I guess that you want to jump on the band wagon now...:confused:

I was just showing a nice piece not more, nothing less.

Take it how you want to...;)

[SpawnFan1]

If this such an easy find the you have no ideal about statue collecting...;)

It is an easy statue to find actually, coming from a guy who has collected statues for quite some time.

Now if it was an AP then yeah but as it is, nah easy peasy. ;)

[SpawnFan1]

OMG! Now that is a grail! I have the normal version and it is an amazing piece!

*jealous*

I still don't understand it was a easy find, that's one thing.

Now does that not make it my grail?

Plus if I had a choice between AP or Limited # one I would always go with the # version, JMO.

[Meatwad]

is it me, or is wolves middle claw bent?

[burngwngs]

Wickedly Awesome.

[AdrianMonk]

Congrats!


Thanks, the way I see it a "grail" means different things to different people, to me it's something you've wanted for a long time but weren't able to get for whatever reason and finally have!

[Mongerty]

I think he contradicts himself with Grail. If you have so much money, Ironlungs, and this is an easy piece to get, then it is not a grail. You have to suffer some kind of hardship (either a tough find, or something out of your price range)

Now if you had saved up for 6 months to buy the thing, then maybe your grail claim would pass (as a personal grail of course). Since you can buy whatever you want, and this is a piece that isn't hard to find, then technically I wouldn't count it as any type of grail.

Now, that isn't to say that the piece isn't totally badass, or that any of the others on here have the right to harass you about it. Congrats on getting it.

Understood and point well taken. I can't totally listen to this kind of feedback.

Thanks man... Seriously!:)

Some of us have to be civil, right?

You have no ideal how much I appreciate that comment. I'm not out to make myself look like most have tried to betray me. That is not the reason I started this thread.

[ilovefreestufftoo]

I say we just sit back and enjoy the photo's. However, I do hate looking at MeguiarsEM's X-Men Vs. Dio because I know I can never have it lol.

[SMIL7]

I have never seen such stupid feedback to a post since I have been a member of the board !! As far as Im concerned a grail is something that you really want no matter how hard it is to find or if you can afford to pay for it with one paycheck or it takes a year to save enough money to buy it !! It always amazes me to see how jealous some people can be ?? CONGRATS Ironlungs31 on recieving your grail. I look forward to seeing more items you purchase in the future !!

Thanks so much! You have not ideal how much I appreciate those words especially coming from you...:)

[Joranthalus]

This is my most sought after grails since I have started collecting statues two weeks ago.

Funny! :D

[aspawnfan]

First off, nice statue.

2nd, here's an example of a grail. Came out in 1992. I just got this one a few months ago. Took me 16 years to finally get one.

http://i44.tinypic.com/ip379h.jpg

[IronLungs31]

It's funny how you guys try to tell another grown man what his grail is, just funny!...;):)

Have a good day men!

147 post in 9 yrs i feel special.

You might want to reread what I wrote. I did not try to tell you anything. That was an example of a grail, for me.

Don't read to much into the number of posts. You do know that when threads get deleted over the years your post count goes down. Just because I don't post a lot, is no reason to belittle a person for their opinion. I didn't come down on you. I congratulated you on your find.

[IronLungs31]

Thanks for the kind words then my bad, but forgive me when I read "here's an example of a grail" I took that as you are teaching me what a grail is suppose to be. If I took that out of context then my bad, and I offer my apologies.

[aspawnfan]

It's all good. I could have worded it differently, then it wouldn't have happened. :)

[IronLungs31]

It's all good. I could have worded it differently, then it wouldn't have happened. :)

I'm happy that we have that little misunderstanding out of the way.

Thanks again!...:)

[F0RSAK3N]

Glad it got there safe!!! ;)

[IronLungs31]

Glad it got there safe!!! ;)

Yes Sir! It did and I could not be any happier! I just really love this statue no matter what some people say. "It's my grail" just got lucky and got it pretty early into my collection.

Thanks a million bro for dropping off a pefect statue!

Much luv!

[Furious1]

For christs sake, this board is getting worse and worse. People need to recognize the joy that the item brings the owner. If Joe Schmo has been wanting a certain GI Joe fig in the worst way and he finds it...then to him its a grail. If IronLungs is really pumped about the Wolvie dio and considers it a personal grail, then so be it. I agree that the term grail has been used more loosely recently, but who am I to judge? I just got into the Street Fighter PF line, and I had a hard time finding a Reg Ryu. I finally got one and personally, it was kind of a grail. If someone tells me that it shouldnt be considered a grail piece, I am not going to be too pleased. And for the record, I would much rather have the Xmen #1 Dio exclusive than the AP of the regular edition.

I thank you for the kind words, and it looks like we have the same point of view. "To each his own" what I may call a grail, you may call it something different, but it does not change the fact that you love the piece and you can consider it whatever you want, cause it's yours. I don't see the need for someone trying to beat it into someone else cause they see it different.

Thanks again!...:)

The last one on Ebay went for about $1500.
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Actually I just sold one for just over $800. $1500 would be nice, but I think that might be an outlier or shill activity.

[MeguiarsEM]

The AP X-Men Dio #1 is an exclusive.

I agree. A grail is what is special to whoever gets it. I'm waiting for my own "Grail" to be delievered now. A Lelouch Lamperouge by Max Factory. Although it is a discontinued product so in a way...

[magman3]

Can someone check this foo?

I don't know man, he's been collecting statues for two weeks now and he claims to know his stuff. I'd even call him an "expert" in the field:rolleyes:.

Wow... kinda late to the party...LOL

[IxSL4Y4xI]

Actually I just sold one for just over $800. $1500 would be nice, but I think that might be an outlier or shill activity.

Really? I am absolutely positive that I saw one about 2 months ago that ended up for $1500. It was the first one I had ever seen on Ebay so maybe that had something to do with the price? Idk.

[magman3]

You must be really bored...:confused: Or maybe you just want to add to your posting #'s...:rolleyes:

Wow... kinda late to the party...LOL

Sorry, I don't spend every waking moment on this board. I realized that once I posted that the post was three pages long and started on the 13th. I just think its really funny that you've been collecting for all of two weeks and for now you are an expert, trying to tell these guys that have been collecting statues much longer than you that they are wrong. Honestly its hard to argue with someone that's an expert in the field of statue collecting so I'll just move on. I've got to go pick up a grail of mine at Wal-Mart. It's one of those new Watchmen figures you "never" see on the board.

20 yrs a collector of many other thing beside statues.

I stated that I was wrong to that one person... Who are the others you are talking about...:confused:

If your grail is at Wal-Mart then I'm happy that you have found it so cheap, and there is nothing wrong with that at all. Who am I to tell you what is, or what should be your grail. "To each his own"

I will never try to tell another man what's his grail. If he's happy with his purchase and decides to call it his grail then, it's your grail. Not mines but yours.

I don't think I need to be an expert to decide what is or is not MY GRAIL...:)

Have a blessed day my brother...;)

[jt4470]

And here my grail of Medicom Spawn over the past 2 years suddenly seems so....small?

But man, you got your statue grail in only 2 weeks? That's impressive.
