I know the feeling, I keep plugging away at something. For me because it's a virtual item I can't buy it with $$ without breaking the sites TOS from another member. In addition the item is so OLD (gosh, '03) that it rarely comes up for sale at all anymore.

So when it does, the virtual price tag is huge and I just can't justify the IRL monies I would need to create that kind of virtual cash for a pixel item. If I'm going to spend a couple hundred dollars I'd rather have something tangible as it were.

My grail...

…the 20th anniversary statue of Sonic the Hedgehog...

 You know, the 2000-issue run that was not for general sale and half of it went to SEGA employees and the rest were divided by UK/Japan and US because of a sticker change?

Never won anything he was a prize for.

Dang… my hedgehog. ;_;

At least it's "just" a money issue. You can save up or win the lottery.

I've been searching for my grail (MOC Italy Moondancer) for 13 years and I've never even seen one.

I agree save for it $30 a month and it's yours in 10...or whatever you can afford! It will be yours if you want it enough :)
