squilverine wrote:It always seems to me that no matter how long you have been collecting or how many miniatures you have in your collection there is always one which for some reason has managed to illude you. This can be incredibly frustrating especialy if it is one which you have previously owned or is long out of production. The two largest hurdles which come between you and your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow are generaly availability and cost. Others do exist such as condition and compatability with your current collection.
This whole idea came about after I moved house a few weeks back, whilst clearing out my cupboards I came accross my old 3rd edition Empire army, seeing some of the miniatures which first enticed me into the hobby persauded me to revitalise my force. Unfortunately one model was missing. An Empire war wagon. No problem I thought, I'll get one on Ebay. It was then I realised not only do these things go for silly money, but to find one complete and unpainted is as rare as rocking horse poo.
Finaly I managed to get my hands on one and it will take pride of place in my army once put together and painted (this may take some time!)
So people of Dakka what is your "Holy Grail"? It doesn't have to neccesarily be a miniature. It could be a book or game or anything GW related.
Mine would be Pulp City.
I picked up the two basic boxed sets, got shafted on the resin bases and didn't get back to them yet. The game is fun witht e couple of guys I do have done, and the other Reiper guys I use, but I'd really like to get those basic boxed sets pained up and on the table, along with whatever else I missed since the first couple of guys.
A second might be to just roll up and finish up a couple of my outstanding projects that are gathering dust at the house.

I am not sure what they are, I know GW makes them. But they look like empire troops with a bunch of large hammers. I saw a box given away at games day and offered the kid 30 bucks for it and he said and a quote " nah I think for that I'd rather throw them out" I have been looking for these for ages. They are pewter and come in a box of 10 I belive. Automatically Appended Next Post: O and the OOP Ghazzy.

It is one of the last Battledroid miniatures I need to finish off my collection of NIB Battletech/Battledroid miniatures and I am skeptical I will ever find one in "new" condition.
Humm if I was playing "Battle Tech" this would be a Shadowhawk right? I may have one NIB. I will have to dig them out and look.

The snotling you mean? I have over 100 of that little bugger.
For me it was the RT-era Ork books, I finally got my hand on the last one a few months ago.

And so, due to rising costs of maintaining the Golden Throne, the Emperor's finest accountants spoke to the Demigurg. A deal was forged in blood and extensive paperwork for a sub-prime mortgage with a 5/1 ARM on the Imperial Palace. And lo, in the following years the housing market did tumble and the rate skyrocketed leaving the Emperor's coffers bare. A dark time has begun for the Imperium, the tithes can not keep up with the balloon payments and the Imperial Palace and its contents, including the Golden Throne, have fallen into foreclosure. With an impending auction on the horizon mankind holds its breath as it waits to see who will gain possession of the corpse-god and thus, the fate of humanity...... |

My personal Holy Grail is the Elf from the MB/ GW game Heroquest. I would love to have the 4 heroes, but specially the elf.
This simple guy:
Does somebody know if a metal version was ever released?

For me, it's Sgt. Centurious, of the Legion of the Damned. I was able ot get one off ebay for a non-slowed price, but still more than i've paid for any other single model.
He's still a bad ass model.

I just downloaded it for my 360 Arcade about a year ago. Much easier and nice updated graphics. Same game, just a little prettier.
Incorrect The PS1 SotN is not the same game on XBLA. Easier? Not an option. Updated graphics? Heresy.
PLUS the original PAL game cam with a soundtrack CD and an art book. It's simply the greatest PS1 game ever. I've never been able to find one in the condition I want, for a price I want to pay. (read: mint for a tenner)
