What was the most you paid for a single toy?

[Mr.Marion]

what was the most you've ever paid for it? Was your wife or girlfriend upset you spend that much? Do you still have it proudly displayed.

I always had a collector mentality and bought what is liked and was never really swinging for the fences on grail items.
A loose mint Aqualad I paid $233 on and a carded Batgirl I spend $270ish on. I think that was my ceiling.
Nowadays I understand rarer items are worth breaking the bank for but everything is high right now.

Ummmm--a lot, on boxed Gamma VI, boxed Mad Monster Castle, and non-magnetic British 12" Batman & Robin. Definitely over $300 for those, but I don't recall any of my other Mego purchases being much more than $400. I am never picky about packaging as long as the toys themselves are minty.

I will say gratefully, and I think such opportunities here are probably gone now, that I was very fortunate to be able to purchase those above items over time from members and make payments.

I think around $150 each for Laser Light Skeletor and He-Man. This was probably back in the late 90s. They were on so-so cards and I opened them. Still work but you have to be really gentle with them as plastic has gotten a bit brittle with age. $150 is also what I paid each for the 12 inch Mondo He-Man and Skeletor. They are really nice. But I can't see getting more of those. Though it would be hard to pass up She-Ra.

although I can afford to spend more, i have always been kind of cheap when purchasing stuff. i would wait and wait until I found one I could get relatively cheap. I think the most I did pay was around $125 for a boxed Dr Who years ago, which honestly was probably too much, but i wanted it so it was worth it

$1,750. Palisades Micronauts purple Emperor and Megas prototype variant. I sold it, and you can see it here: https://micronauts.wixsite.com/mysit...r-megas-purple

These come to mind.

Don't wanna talk about it.

Was your wife or girlfriend upset you spend that much?

Girlfriend was cool with it. The Wife, not so much.

Do you still have it proudly displayed?

Is the Pope Catholic?

I paid the original price for the recent Super 7 MOTUC Snake Mountain... I was very fortunate to be able to buy it... I still had to force myself to pull the trigger and I kept telling myself that it was a crazy amount to spend... but that because of what item it was (as far as "dearness to my heart") that it was an important item... and still, I can't believe I own it.

[Werewolf]

I totally spaced the MOTUC Castle Grayskull. I think that was around $300.

[shaunaconda]

I’ve spent over $500 on some boxed Shogun Warrior figures.

[jwyblejr]

I spent $300 on an AA Talking AT Commander.

JB, I think you need an Ohio curator for the Lincoln Phantom and Kidd box.

$1600 on an unpunched MOC Super Powers Cyborg. Then I opened it.

I was able to sell the empty card and bubble for $350 so it worked out OK. He's beautiful. Totally worth it.

I recently paid $300 for a 12 inch Johnny Sokko flying Robo. First,it's a great piece and have it displayed next to a 12 inch vinyl Ultraman. Toys of him are very rare so no regrets buying it. There's something upcoming I have on pre-order which is more of a vinyl statue is The Kraken from Clash of the Titans. that will be about 400 dollars.( from BBTS) and lastly I paid about 300 dollars for a mego type of the greatest american hero which was some con exclusive. I don't remember if i bought that through here or ebay.

I would expect nothing less considering the other things you opened.

Still with his chrome finish it would be hard to find a loose, mint example.
