I would add to that...... 'for the person who is trying to obtain it'.......if we are speaking of personal grails. Am just wondering also that a very rich person can have any statue he wants - would there be no grails for him? Someone saves for long time to buy a statue most of us could easily afford - that would be a grail to him maybe?
'Grail' to me tho is just a fun definition. Until someone mentions Sideshow's Pumpkinhead. That's my biggest grail and I will never have it.

I think you hit in the nail perfectly, Nitefall. I have to say it, I am not a rich man but I am sure I can afford even the most expensive "so-called grail" in the market today. Let's face it, I live in the USA and most of the collectors on this forum are from a western country. I'll put it on a credit card if I have to (and pay for it for the next 20 to 30 years, hahaha!!).
We love to think that we are members of the elite, just because we have something that others don't. The truth is that in some parts of the world, just to have a roof over your head and food on the table are enough reasons to be happy. I betcha that a $15 walmart ironman figure will make some thirld world kid very glad, more than an "unattainable" PF or Comiquette.
I myself love to use the word "Grail" for fun. Those that get offended by it; give me a break, would ya?! I can call a bag of horse poop a "grail" if I want to. Don't get your panties in a knot!!!
