That moment when you realize you will never have your collecting grail...

[keikokukien]

Hey, hun...Maybe you can put away all your change for a year and if you have enough by the end of the year, you can have the bank exchange it for you then buy your figure online. Or just $5 a week put in a separate account? It might help you get closer to affording it.

edit: just got curious and did a google search...  http://www.manofactionfigures.com/products/dc-universe-online-zatanna-statue-dc-direct is this one that you don't have? This site has this one...hope that might help a little.

Yup it's the animated one. Pictures doesn't want to show up anymore for whatever reason...

You know you guys are making me think this is possibly not so totally unatainable I just worry that if I finally save up money I won't be able to find her anymore x_x

The animated Harley Quinn statue is on my "OMG ONE day!" list too, so I know what you mean.  But don't worry, if you save up, I'm sure you'll be able to find her somewhere...eventually your patience will pay off!

You never know! Look at the all the rare high-dollar ponies that sometimes end up going for less. In the meantime, maybe when you give up fast food or something else you might consider a luxury, like coffee, etc, you can put that money toward your figure.

You can also coupon (even if it's just one or two coupons) and put the money you would've spent without the coupons in your figure fund.

Nope, not that one. That is one I'm currently buying, though.

I always find that if you really want something then it's worth the time and money to get it! I don't have many grails myself, most of them are autographs of people I want to meet. I do have a Buffy Scythe from the tv show which I had to have when I saw it as I knew it'd go. Also, I got one of the Beedle The Bard books from Harry Potter for £50 when it first came out and now it's trebbled in price so am happy with myself there!

I understand that!  There's a BJD that I really want, but she's so expensive!  I doubt I'll ever be able to excuse her price tag

I can do even better than that. The one I wish I could have someday was limited but nobody I know of bought her with her fantasy parts (which was the whole reason I liked her), at least in the English speaking BJD community. For all I know the version with the fantasy parts could have sold like hotcakes in Asia but I don't speak any Asian languages to be able to find out. Sadly I don't think I'll ever be able to track down a second hand one even if I ever have the money to do so.

Never say never

Who knows...maybe you will stumble upon her one day at a fleamarket or thriftstore, true she is very rare but you just never know! 

[sabathamk]

I don't think I'll ever really have grails because I have too hard a time actually spending money on anything for myself.  For me, it 'needs' to be a need before I'll spend money on it, unless it's really cheap and I REALLY want it.  I just passed up blind bags because I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the money on them... then when I went back because I did want them, they were gone.  But I'm not too sad.  i think if there is anything I really want that would cost a lot it would be something Mario or Zelda related... cause I'm not shelling too much out for ponies.

I may never get my grail, but that's because she's so rare to find! (Argie Brillitos...the Sprinkles unicorn in yellow with pink hair...)

[NoDivision]

That's a lofty goal, Tuney, but if I know you I'm sure you'll track her down eventually!
