What is that one grail pony...
« on: April 25, 2013, 06:43:57 AM »
...that has always eluded you?

Mine - okay...so I know she's not a *huge* grail, especially considering the number of times I could have purchased her over and over.  I have many other grails that top my list.  But the *one* pony that I've always been after and never actually bought:

TAF Baby Dancing Butterflies

I have had her mom since childhood, and as soon as I found out she had a baby I've always desired to reunite the two.  And yet...to this day...it's a reunion that's yet to be.   It's funny, I've had other TAF babies, other rarer ponies, yet somehow, I just never acquired her.  =P

So.......what is the one grail that you are wanted but have never actually gotten?

^^ I saw a Twice as Fancy Dancing Butterfly Baby on ebay, but omg she is like $70! =O Hopefully someone here might have one for sale a bit cheaper for you.

Mine, well this will probably never happen.... but I would love a G4 Minty or Sweetie Blue. Their situation sucks being made once as prototypes in  limited numbers and selling for hundreds of dollars on ebay IF one pops up! I dont care for them for their value, I love them because they have such cute designs! I have been googling them non-stop for a few days, especially Minty! She is my probably favorite Earth Pony, I love the colors on her so much its a huge shame she wasnt officially released. Hoping Hasbro will sell them somewhere as an official release in the future, even as some sort of limited exclusive at least we would have a fighting chance to grab em! I will probably never get either of those- I cant even  afford their value! I had a dream they started selling Minty at TRU, I wish dreams could come true! =P

My ultimate grail is the giant Star Catcher plush that never got mass produced...
Needless to say, i don't think i will ever obtain my grail. But i guess that kinda makes it a grail in the first place.
I really wish i would know what happened to that plush.

I've never actively looked for my ultimate grails (other than Mimic who I finally have!) because they've always been out of my price range. They don't come up often though and right now I'm pining for Baby Sugarcake!!!!

My G3 grails have become Coconut Cream and Key Lime Pie.  For seemingly common ponies, I have not been able to find them.  Even on eBay they seem a little rarer than most G3s and more expensive.

I'd say at the moment it's more goals than grails, I've got Princess Pearl/Tiffany and Princess Amber/Starburst to get to complete my original princess pony set.
And Galaxy, Whizzer, Party Time, Sky Rocket, Gingerbread, Sweetstuff, Sweet Pop and Locket to complete my twinkle eye set.
I want Sea Shell to go with my Bubbles, Sprinkles to go with my Medley and Firefly (they were always in the books I read as a kid).
Paradise, Loftie, Wind Whistler and North Star because they were in Quest for the Golden Horseshoes.
And SS Bouncy...just because :)

I got my grail TE Bright Eyes this morning, she was my most wanted and HTF till I won her on ebay a couple of weeks ago. Before her I got Mimic that was number two on my list. I also managed to get a Princess Ruby/Primrose that doesn't have a problem standing up.

Some of the ponies I've wanted most of all (since a young age) I now have, like Moondancer, Twilight, Medley and Firefly.

I would like a piggy pony they look cute but its not essential for my collection. I guess I need to think more on grails lol.

I have seen baby Dancing Butterflies on ebay but she isn't cheap, I saw baby Sugarberry with the Mum and it was £59.99 for the both and the money is in the baby because you can pick up the adult for a reasonable price.

I find that Glory is easy enough to find in 'played with' condition but difficult to find in good condition. I have a Glory, her body has seen better days but I was lucky enough to find her with good hair (though the mane has had a little trim).

It took me ages to get TE Bright Eyes, I saw Mimic more often than Bright Eyes and got pipped to the post loads of times bidding on her.

I have a weird elusive G1 grail...not a pony but a Bushwoolie lol the last Bushwoolie I need is the pink one with purple crown. I can't find her anywhere and it's really frustrating!

Pony wise I usually go after any grails. A grail I've been searching for for a long time is finally on her way to me, Brazil Baby Lofty.

Haven't really have a G1 grail right now (other than Nirvanas) because I'm planning on buying a boat load at the fair and take advantage of no shipping costs. :)
For G3 my grail is an MOC Baby Northern Lights (I'd settle for a loose one too)
For G4 my grail is Rainbow Flash (actually 2, one MIB and one loose)
Full Wishlist~*~Sales~*~
Grails: Greek(blue)Medley, Greek Sunlight(Silver Clouds) and Brazil Duck Soup.

I don't really have grails, I'd break my budget and just buy them, lol! One pony I've never come across at the right time is Dancing Butterflies. I had a colouring book with her in when I was little, and when I finally saw her I remember being disappointed with her being yellow. I'm not sure why I didn't like yellow, but I wish i still had that colouring book to see what colours I'd wanted her in, then I could've had a custom done. Since then, though, I've just never bought a DB, but if she comes up with the right timing...
