    What was your MOST expensive mego purchase?

    hi all,
    i wanted to ask everyone what their most expensive mego purchase has been to date. i'm sure we've all had that sick to the stomach feeling of pulling that cash out of our wallets or sending out that paypal payment to make the big purchase but of course in retrospect you feel good about the deal/ well at least you should feel good about that deal i wouldnt recommend showing this thread to your significant others

    anyways, the most i've spent is $2000 on a complete, dead mint unused super pristine alter ego clark kent. it took me a while to find one in that c-10 condition and when i did, i was kinda wishing i never came across it. it was a buy it now on ebay and i was sweating bullets, but i ponied up the cash and hid the bill from my wife. this was back around 2000 when alter egos weren't showing up too often and repro parts/heads were not as common.

    ok let's get it started!!!

      I don't think I've ever spent more than $200 on a Mego

        That's awesome, better keep him!!!

        I spent $300 on super rare T-2 complete & all original minty Maroon General Ursus with cuffed and spent $200 on a minty T-1 complete & all original Silver Soldier Ape this month. I'm glad to have them back and starting re-builting my Mego collection in the back bedroom. I won't sell 'em off in the future!!!

                    $70 for a nice minty Wonder Woman.

                    next up is about $60 for a complete all original, (emblem is repro) Batgirl. I got her a few parts at a time and sold the extra parts, So I ended up spending about $90 for her, but the extras BG parts I sold I got about $30 back.

                            $175 for a boxed Wonder Woman. Boxed Riddler (faded box) $152.51 right behind that. Those are the higher end for me as those were two pieces I wanted badly. I'd say most of the great folks here put me to shame!
