    I have just added a grail to my collection! First let me say, that grails for me are very few, and far between. The reason is, my grails are vintage, and most have already been obtained. The few that exist are rare, and very expensive.

    I received this item yesterday, and was so excited I could have jumped through the roof! It arrived in better condition than I expected, and probably the best condition you can get one in.

    These are VERY rare, because most have deteriorated, and/or hardened. Mine is still soft and stretchy (though I wouldn't dare stretch it), is still in the box, and has all the original paperwork.

    In the 20 years I have seriously been collecting, I have seen thousands and thousands of toys, and seen just about every grail in person, but I had NEVER seen one of these in person since I had one as a kid, and the few pics I have seen, they were in pretty rough shape.

    So, I created a simple website for him, as an archive, since there is little information, and very few pics out there. I still have some stuff to do to it, adding text and shit.

    Anyway, enough rambling, take a look...
