The Most $$$ You've Spent on a Fig...

OA · 01-02-2004, 05:26 PM

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I was just curious.

Whats the most amount of money you've spent on any one figure? I thought about this after my most recent (and most expensive) purchase on one figure: I bought a MIB Giant Mutating Leo for $57 (after some helpful encouragement from some of you

) Before that, the most I had spent was $38 for a Hot Spot MOC and around $30 for a Japanese Leo MIB.

So let's hear it...

I spent 90 on the old poer rangers toys when I was 8. Got that money for my birthday. But I ended up trading it for TMNT stuff when I was 10.

*tmntman* · 01-02-2004, 07:27 PM

The most was $300+ for a MOC Scratch.

Other notable mentions in the $100+ category:
8 different Gundam Perfect Grade kits ($100 to $220 each)
Takara Masterpiece Optimus Prime $120

A little over 20 bucks for each of the original four turtles last year on e-bay.

*Kid Icarus* · 01-02-2004, 07:40 PM

$20 for the new Giant figures at the store.

thats expensive. i can get about three figures for a little over 15 here.

are most action figures expensive in denmark?

and the most i spent on a figure as far as tmnt goes is 5.83 plus tax. i don't collect vintage and when i was little, my mom paid for all my figures.

well, let me tell you a story...

i had the Scratch figure, for those who don't know that's the most valuable of the tmnt toys. I stupidly sold it about two years ago, for about $50. and about a year ago, i began to regret my mistake. so, i had to buy another scratch figure, i payed $45 for one on ebay. so, toytaled together, including shipping and handling, and the original $5 purchase, i ended up losing about $3, but lemme tell you it's worth it.. and DO NOT sell any toys you dont want to, it's damaging in the long-run

*Stone Ill* · 01-02-2004, 08:59 PM

About $12.. that's including tax. It's standard price.

BigThew · 01-02-2004, 09:41 PM

not a figure
but a statue

$135 on a Jim Lee Hush Batman Statue

*Stone Ill* · 01-02-2004, 10:57 PM

Hmmm...good question. These two come to mind as my most expensive purchases...

Shredder MOC for $20

milweskee · 01-03-2004, 07:27 AM

i spent $100 for four Ghostbusters figures (loose) and a MIB Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters. I now have three of those, 1 is incomplete though. I still need the Ecto-1.

Lol...I see the Toxic Avenger action figure...cool. I remember that show vaguely, I think that one in your photo is cool. I guess that show never really took off eh? I remember it back around 1991 then nothing else...never really became a fan. Now that I think about it, was it a ripoff of the whole mutant angle? I don't exactly remember the story to the show, just a bunch of weirdos fighting crime...
