Share your tale of the grail that slipped through your fingers, whether it was just a few hundred yen over your max bid, flaky 'net access, blurry photos, a missed a web store listing/forum posting, or merely forgot to set your alarm clock. Hoping this thread could provide more catharsis than heartache, but the goal would be to share some of your big-time want list items. Who knows, maybe the shared knowledge could provide a future heads-up some day?
I don't know if I'd consider it a grail, but my guy in Japan had a a green and yellow Alien Argus lined up for me (I forget what festival it was from) and somehow it got lost in transit to him. That was pretty disappointing. The only grail I'm desperate for is the latest Sunguts Kraken (white and blue) from the Five Points Festival. How about yourself?
The pain is still fresh since it just happened but I missed out on the unpainted rootbeer Steven the bat that I've been hunting for years. The upshot is that I landed a grail that I I didn't even know existed
