My third set of Mousers from Neca, this last one was expensive, at least for me.

No, I never buy things I can't afford. However, I have bought things I later wished I hadn't.

Not so much couldn't afford, but something expensive that I regrets.

Like the 2012 Sewer Lair, it's a huge disappointment, and the Shellraiser just takes space.

The Japanese Mini Mutants Leo 8 Pack. I got it for 64$. I don't know what me from 2 years ago was thinking, but it probably was stupid.

Never in regards to affordability, but maybe a few cases of regret.

Donatello: The Brian Thief mini-series... what an awful comic book arc to pay cover price for.

But looking back, I guess the issues still hold their original value more-or-less and they aren't particularly common in back issue bins either. So... I guess it's a wash.

I don't understand how I would be able to buy something that I can't afford. You mean like credit card debts? Thankfully I haven't encountered that.
I was close to getting myself in that position when I was into Gundam and thought it as a way of investment. Good thing that didn't last.

I guess if depends on the definition. I've bought toys with my CC before because too many things came out at the same time. I always pay off the debt though.

In terms of not being able to afford it, I took a risk ordering the NECA Foot set. I had the money and paid the credit card bill the next day but barely scraped by on rent last month. I ended up doing a bunch of commissions and I made it all back in time though so it was totally worth it.

If I see something I want that I can't afford I just work overtime at my job time and half plus double time and 12hrs I get the money I need

The original NECA Turtles. At the time, I'd not long since set up my own business and money was VERY tight, and spending £60 on figures basically meant not eating for a week. I never regretted it, they're my favourite toys of all time and had I not bought them when I did I'd likely have paid at least double for them.

I've bought things that cost more money that I was comfortable spending, but TMNT has never taken food out of my mouth or jeopardised the roof over my head, so I can't say I couldn't afford any of it. I didn't have a credit card until recently, so overextension has never been an option.

Well, yeah.

It was a "good deal", but about a month ago I spent $200 on a lot that consisted of the 10, large classic collection TMNT figures- the 4 cartoon turtles, Bebop, Rocksteady and the 4 movie turtles.

It's $200 I really could have used elsewhere, but yeah.

I can afford it, but the S.H. Figuarts turtles are expensive, and I know I will probably be buying the rest of the series once they are available. You get what you pay for with these figures, so no complaints really.

Not that I couldn't afford. Adulting has to come first. But like someone else said, I have bought stuff I wished I hadn't. Thankfully, it's pretty easy to resell stuff online and get your money back.

Most of my reallllly expensive tmnt items I can't afford. That's what Discover is for.
