Most you ever paid for a toy!!

[captact]

400.00 for a boxed M2G6,..and the less i paid was for a set of MIB Mego Kiss dolls at 5.00 each.

[starsky]

i bought john bonavita's alter ego clark kent for $2k back in the day. dont think i can spend that kind of money anymore after starting a family.

[B-Lister]

just dropped $150 on Go Hero's Buck Rogers.

I have no regret.

[AcroRay]

I paid $200 for 3 big Microman toys out of Hawaii, but the were worth at least $600. Apart from that, I paid $110 (after postage) for a Japanese robot last year. Had to sell other stuff to do all that, though.

I've dropped more overall for prototypes, but wiped out some entire other collections I had to fund them. It evens out, though, because I've gotten some incredibly valuable stuff for nothing.

I'm a total lightweight. I have a few items I paid around $200 for but that's about it.

[RG]

$130 ... but I sold a couple moc vintage star wars figures for $35 that I only paid $2 each for and put that $70 toward that figure. so really when I do that kind of math ... I only paid $64 lol lol

other than that I think I've kept it down to around $100.

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that my answer might tend to incriminate me.

But I will say that the most I ever spent on a single item was for my solid boxed Aquaman and the most in one payment was for a set of CIPSA POTA figures, boxed and loose.

feel free to sell me your solid box AM

[NewForce]

it is funny, I have been emailing with Dan C. about spending a "lot" on toys...
now comics, I have dropped 6 figures multiple times on a single comic, but when it comes to toys, I have a tougher time justifying large $'s...
but I have spent mid 4 figures on many carded megos, and even a few boxed ones... just can't bring myself to spend into the 5 figure mark ...

[Meule]

I've paid $750 for a repro Batman 1966 costume and a partial Robin costume. I've never paid more than that for anything else collectionwise. Don't know what the highest amount was I paid for a Mego, but it's considerably less than that.

My wife has cost me a fortune so far....
Oh sorry, I must have misread the thread....

I paid $300 for the last figure I needed in the Saint Seiya line (Kraken), a Japan exclusive. My hands were shaking when assembling him!

Five years later, the market crashed when the new Myth Cloth line arrived, and the vintage figures dropped seriously in value....

I lost my job after that, so my monthly budget is now like $60. No more high end figures for me....
Most I paid for a Mego?
My Iron Man last year, $60.

Hmmmm. I typically don't tell my wife ANYTHING about the cost of the 'major end items'.., but for a toy..? A few years before I got married, I paid $700 for a MIMB vintage Captain Action Phantom.., ended up selling it 2 yrs later for only $500.

Paid just over $300 for complete C/A loose and minty Aquaman and Captain America sets, and the same for a minty Spiderman suit alone (no mask or boots..).

Other than that, typically under $150 for loose, minty Megos (including the Titans)..

For a Mego, I think the most I ever spent was about $75 for an RC Batman back in the late 90s.

In the late 90s, I also bought a Charlee Flatt Black Panther which was definitely more expensive than the Batman figure.

Since then, I got married and had a kid, so I've always felt guilty spending more than like $25 or $30 on a toy that's not for my daughter. I guess that's why my Mego collection has been pretty stagnant for the better part of a decade now.

[Brue]

I can't remember what I paid for what anymore. Losing my mind. I know I have paid $100 before - but haven't exceeded that for a single figure. (if we count lots I have shelled out $450 before)

[Fuzzysnail]

Zorro with box. What I paid is between me and Bryan. Waaaaaaaay more than I ever paid for any toy in my life....including my mustang.

[LincoMego]

I'm sure there's gotta' be other cheapos around here![/QUOTE]

Cheapo here too. Actually the wife and kids get me a Mego or two a year for Birthday or Christmas presents. Those are the only ones I've gotten in the last few years. I think most of them come from ebay and I know she isn't paying much for them. She recently got me a couple of Pirates that are mixed original and repro parts and I love them. I have several like that. Its fun trying to piece a figure back together and I'm not too concerned if my Mego Thor has a repro helmet. He still looks cool. The only things i have that aren't loose is a carded Klingon and some boxed WOOz figures. No big ticket items there. I'm not sure the most I've paid for a figure, but I'd be surprized if it was over $100.
