Ektris Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 If you don't know what a "holy grail" is, it's basically that one item that absolutely makes/would make (if you don't have it already) your collection. It's that one set you've always been after and want more than anything. For me, my holy grail were the Bahrag, Cahdok & Gahdok. I never got them in 2002 and I most definitely wanted them ever since. Well this past summer I managed to snag them in an eBay auction, and though loose and missing just a few pieces everything was in excellent condition - even the instructions. (The pieces I replaced easily enough - which is fortunate since the parts list the guy sent with them indicated a whole lot more pieces were missing, which just wasn't true.) And I must say, I am definitely happy I bought them. They're a fun set and really stand out on the shelf in contrast to all of the later, much darker, large sets. So - what's your holy grail? ~|ET|~ E-T... Phone home. "He walks among us, but he is not one of us." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protodite Karzahni Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 The Exo-Toa. Man, those things just look awesome, so it's a pity I've never been able to get my hands on one. Maybe Umbra as well, the rollerblade feet are pretty darn sweet. (Hehe, I did a rhyme.) I wrote stories once. They were okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argentum Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Tahu Mata. The original set that everyone wanted. Although, I cannot afford and could not afford. Darn. ~Argentum~ ~ Argentum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandoo Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 The Mctoaran. Without a doubt. I used to stare at the advertisements for those adorable little disk tossing villagers for days on end. My parents never wanted to take me to McDonalds though, and I used to beg them endlessly. The one time that my mom finally gave in and tool me, they were all out of the toy I so desired. I remember how disappointed I was. For years afterwards I tried to acquire them, searching online via ebay and such. But they were always out of my price range. A long time passed since then. Almost ten years later, last summer my friend surprised me with a birthday gift of all six matoran. He had found them collecting dust in his attic. I am extremely thankful to this friend. The matoran are my holy grail, and still hold a permanent place of display, despite their taller and more poseable kin. ~ Bandoo ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.M.800 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Probably every set I dont have... just one set you mean? well... Ill have to think bout that for a while. Doah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varaka Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Probably the original Tahu or the Exo-Toa. I never had any of the original Rahi either. And of course, I wouldn't say no to a complete collection of the masks from 2001. -V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) I don't recall ever wanting a set in particular very badly back when Bionicle was still sold. Today, though, my holy grail would definitely be the Platinum Kanohi Avohkii from 2003. There's only one in existence, making it the rarest Bionicle item ever created. It makes you wonder, who has it now? It's probably sitting in the attic of whoever won the contest, forgotten...

Erebus Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Toa Lesovikk would be considered my holy grail. I always wanted that set, but I chose Toa Ignika when I went to Target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaputanMachine Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Despite having tons of Bionicle sets and merchandise, about half of my collection is missing. Two sets that I have been trying to get for ages but can't though are Axonn and Brutaka. For me, BIONICLE was an epic science fantasy saga with a deep and complex lore, and was best when it was exactly that in its later years. I'm not sorry if that offended you.

Sumiki Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 2001 masks. Kind of broad, but I had only one chance to buy that particular incarnation of mask pack back in 2002. Any would be nice.

Trijhak Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 The Toa Mata and the Bohrok. The main parts first and second waves of Bionicle... it would feel so... complete to have them.

Dorek Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Very good question; I always considered the Bahrag the crowning jewel of my collection, definitely one of my favorite sets overall. Ultimate Dumerator also falls in that Category; I actually got him a year late, but there was a great deal in TRU, which gave him the helmet, and it was just really perfect to get him.

~Xemnas~ Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 My "Holy Grail: of sets would be either the Bahrag or the Taraava.

Ringoster Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I hope to get Roodaka, Sidorak, and Keetongu, and enough extras to make Vorporak and their combiner models. But my most wanted single set would have to be the Manas. Price wise, i'd be SO HAPPY if i were given Irnakk. I've literally never seen an Irnakk on sale for less than 200$.

Artezza Magnus Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 The Bahrag also used to be my holy grail, too. I would still like to get my hands on them, actually. Even when trapped by Karma's cycle, the dreams we left behind will open the door! Even if the universe stands in our way, our seething blood will determine what will be!

Vorahk1Panrahk2 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 The original (2001) Tahu. How I managed to collect every single canister set through 2008 while never getting a hold of the original Bionicle Poster boy is beyond me. Calling it a holy grail is probably appropriate since the chances of getting hold of it now are slim to none. Of the sets that I own, probably Muaka and Kane Ra. Brilliant sets, and probably just as iconic as 2001 Tahu (depending on who you ask). BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riglax Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) Holy Grail? That's a hard one. It has to be Axalara, Baranus and Scorpio XV1.

Nuile the Paracosmic Tulpa Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 It would be hard to choose a "holy grail." The Mata and Takanewva come to mind; but I think, all in all, I would say Kardas. Which, technically speaking, I do not own; but I made him from Vezon & Fenrakk, Axonn, and Brutaka, and love him to pieces (HA! awful pun).

Stryker055 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 All the 2001 sets, as well as the 2002 titans. Since I came into Bionicle in 2003, I never got a chance to get any of those guys.
