Title: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: Safflower on November 11, 2019, 10:04:54 AM
Who is your most wanted, but hardest to find? German Starshine for me!

hmm good question, I really want the full mountain boy set and a mimic , but i see people get these so i'm not sure they count. I would also really like any piggy but that ain't happening.

Post by: RoseNoire on November 11, 2019, 10:41:00 AM
Mimic, for my collection of every pony with neon yellow hair; any So-Soft; any loose Flutter with original wings;  any Piggy, Takara or Squeaky Butt, many Nirvanas and non-eu releases, ... the list goes on.
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: nessa16 on November 11, 2019, 10:47:21 AM
Probably blue Posey or Takara Milky

Felicidades (http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Felicidades)

So beautiful! But so rare. Plus I rarely have the cash for Nirvanas, anyway.

There's a handful of Nirvanas, but until I find a customizer who wants to deal with it, Whizzer pose Dance and Prance wins it for me.

This was a prototype right? Shame that they were all in the same pose

One of those giant blank white G3s.
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: starrynights on November 11, 2019, 12:09:34 PM
One of the bigger standing takara ponies or dutch diary pony
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: TheBeatlesPkmnFan42 on November 11, 2019, 12:22:43 PM
Literally any real Takara. I've got other pricey grails that go for prices I'd ve willing to save for, but I don't see myself ever having the patience to save up over $1000 for a pony.
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: brightberry on November 11, 2019, 12:53:51 PM
It's probably Mimic!  I see her all the time.  But I can't bring myself to pay that price.  It's not about saving enough money, it's just I know I would regret it.
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: Noasar on November 11, 2019, 12:58:19 PM
The alt Starglow with white hair...there's only one example MOC - I will never be able to afford it, even if it did come up for sale!
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: BlackCurtains on November 11, 2019, 01:02:51 PM
Probably Piggy Rayito. I've seen her for sale a couple of times but I don't have the money and even if I did, I don't think I could spend her asking price.
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: Sora on November 11, 2019, 01:30:39 PM
Probably the prototype Sweet Stuff. I'm sure I saw her a long time ago, but not even My Little Wiki has a photo up.
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: Barnacle_lady on November 11, 2019, 01:44:15 PM
For me its a budget thing too. But I don't expect to have a South African or Indian pony soon because of their price.

Probably the prototype Sweet Stuff. I'm sure I saw her a long time ago, but not even My Little Wiki has a photo up.

The Green Eyed Sweet Stuff?  She was mine and I sold her a long time ago.  My biggest regret to this day.  She is my Grail, but as there is only one of her, and her current owner has no plans to let her go, I’ve had to move on. I still kick myself to this day. >.<

I’ll try to dig up her picture if I can find it.

Earth Pony-Baby Splash
Unicorn-Baby Lucky Leaf
Pegasus-Star Glow
Sea Pony-Sea Mist
Flutter Pony-Hollywood
Winger-Cool Breeze
Bat Pony
Merpony-Queen Novo

A better condition mimic  :( mine has a giant pen stain on her symbol because i accidentally left her on something two years ago. I still love her its just i'd like one thats a bit nicer y'know?  >_<
but for ponies i don't own: i really want euro princess sparkle.
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: milkywaymochi on November 11, 2019, 02:13:04 PM
1.all of the mountain boys, but Ice crystal in particular

2. All of the second set of twice as fancy ponies

3. Baby princess sparkle

Maybe mimic? I'm not sure. She's so darned expensive. There's no chance of finding her in the wild, and I'm certainly not going to pay that much money for one pony.

Probably prototype G4 Minty. Maybe I'll have one someday, but I sincerely doubt it. XD
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: cloud_weaver on November 11, 2019, 02:24:18 PM
Yeah....I sold her about 8 years ago or so, and still deeply regret it.  I still get a little sick over it.  I tried to purchase her back, but her new owner loves her so I guess that’s good.

But I really wish I held onto her. 😭

There is a loose one too! It sold on ebay years back before the moc one came out so there will be more out there, lets hope they surface as I love this pony too

While I have no doubt yours was a prototype I do have a friend that pops te ponies eyes out when restoring them, it would be very easy to use masquerades eyes to replicate another green eyed sweet stuff

Post Merge: November 11, 2019, 02:44:59 PM

fortunately all the ponies I am after are attainable..... its just the price point of them to how much I want to pay that causes any hold up in obtaining them!
I did just get my grail baby sugarcake thou so I am very pleased about that

Columbian white Applejack. My friends joke that it must be a code word for drugs. :P

Also Novia!

G3 Rosey Posey. I haven’t seen her for sale in ages.

I’ve retry much given up on ever getting Peruvian green-haired Lickety-Split at this point... even if she comes up, I won’t able to justify paying that kind of price for her. Same goes for Peruvian orange-haired Tootsie, Who I consider her counterpart.

I’d also love Takaras Kurukuru and Amiami, but I’m not even sure both of them exist.
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: shabbychicdee on November 11, 2019, 07:34:47 PM
ooooh the complete set of alternative birthflower ponies (even though they were sold in my own country  :pout:

and Spanish piggy's peachy and cotton candy, i would have thought those 2 would have been more common but the prices are just too much for me.

others are the 2 sitting greek ponies ladybug and easter candle, iv seen them come and go so often  :cry: and some at a good price but still out of my reach price wise  -_-
oh yeah and brazilan sitting rainbow bowtie, now she is very HTF  let alone in good condition  >_<

i just need to complete my sitting ponies, my peachy and cotton candy army and to get all Alt. birthflower and then that is it, i will then retire from collecting  :lol: :P
it use to be finishing all adult seaponies and shell stands but gave up that idea years back  :lookround:

I was looking for one of those giant G3 plushes for a while but dang I had a hard time. I'm sure I can find one if I look hard enough but even then they're really pricey, especially to ship.

She is my,  too, silly reason: looks almost 100% like a pony I made up in my childhood.

Post by: Mewtwofan1 on November 11, 2019, 09:46:03 PM
Maybe it’s just me...but I honestly want the whole international set of g1 twilight. Thing is, I can never find a very good condition USA release of her at a reasonable price/shipping rate, let alone nirvana ones. Oh! And a complete working my pretty pony would be a dream to have!
hint hint Santa if you’re out there...
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: plushroo on November 11, 2019, 10:10:18 PM
For me at the moment, any South African as I can't justify spending over a grand for a pony and if I did, they would have to be in very good condition with full manes and tails which is hard to find with SA ponies.
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: pandabear_chan on November 12, 2019, 06:18:27 AM
I’d also love Takaras Kurukuru and Amiami, but I’m not even sure both of them exist.

They both exist, prototypes without eyes were auctioned last year i.e.

now thats another grail of mine, complete working my pretty pony with not too frizzy hair. a little more within my reach but shipping from the US would be insane  :(

mountain boys, and some Argentinian ponies
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: Harmonie on November 12, 2019, 03:33:03 PM
Looks like it might be Sweet Sundrop. Ever since I found out about her, the only listing I've seen has been a mint in box which was quite expensive.
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: BubbleTea on November 12, 2019, 03:50:27 PM
South African Seashell. I will never own her  :shrug:

I also really really want Brazilian Twist but she's more attainable. Perhaps someday she will be mine...

Idk if it counts as even a grail but maybe more as a long forgotten myth, the prototype Dream Beauties are ones I'd like to obtain.

Most of them are super pretty, in comparison to some of the designs that were released. Plus some of the unproduced ones are pretty as well.
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: Carrehz on November 13, 2019, 06:15:35 AM
Oh, if we can include prototypes, then the human dolls that were meant to come with the Pony Friends. Especially Kingsley's pal. They're so cute! Maybe one day I'll commission a custom of her, or something.

Post by: SpacePinto on November 13, 2019, 08:54:45 AM
A not-so-soft Wind Whistler with hair color instact. Each and every one available for sale seems to be either SS, with white hair, or both.

Ice Crystal, and Munchy. (also the g2 sailboat)
Icey isn't impossible to find, just way out of my budget.

Post by: Pumpkin_Tart on November 16, 2019, 05:39:51 AM
Hmmm..I think it would be Rapunzel for me. I love all of her colors but its hard for me to justify spending $900+ on a nice Rapunzel when there are other things to pay for. Oh well, I guess its back to searching pony hunting!  :lol:

Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: NightGliderSA on November 18, 2019, 02:16:53 AM
For me: SA Windy. She is the only member of my lost childhood herd that I have not so far been able to replace. For obvious reasons. I nearly had her a couple of weeks ago, but no, that did not work out after all. However I have expensive tastes and there are many ponies on my list that are, for now, unobtainable. I have SS and Scandinavian Truly, but would one day like to have all variants of her. I also want several Nirvanas (including Blue Italian Posey and Lickety - I am so funny!) and all the wingers, flutters and TE ponies. Some of which are expensive although not HTF.

However I really cannot complain. Just this year I have had incredible pony luck in finding some ponies I never thought I would own and have added Taffeta, Polly, Love Letter and Moon Jumper to my herd. Plus others, less glamorous, but just as exciting for me.
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?

Probably Greek blue Medley.  Or MOC German baby Lemon Drop.
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: Squirtsquirt on November 22, 2019, 06:16:41 PM
I've actually had them all at one time, but then sold them off as I needed money.  I guess I'm not lusting after anyone at the moment.  I wish I had my Rapunzel back, but with other bills and lack of space, I'm not really missing her that much.

I'm also not opposed to customs, so getting a custom Punzie is a possibility as long as she's pretty with LOONNGGG hair! :)
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?

unicorn bowtie... and argentina squeaky butts! any of them really. I'd also love to own a mountain boy, thundercloud or sunburst. I'm not so interested in owning mimic or punzie.

Post by: ThePoneZone on December 01, 2019, 04:02:30 AM
Ice Crystal and just about any piggy pony.

While their prices are realistically affordable compared to some grails, I just can't bring myself to spend more than $100 CAD on a single pony due to my budget.
Title: Re: What's your unattainable grail?
Post by: Twizel on December 02, 2019, 11:18:16 AM
Oh, let's see. I'm not actively looking, but near top of the list are Mimic, Rapunzel, Ladybird, and Gypsy. Oh, and Ice Crystal. Any of the Mountain Boys, really lol.
