    I was really expecting replies like "$10,000 for my GAH prototype".
    Most expensive thing I ever bought was a MIB Lost Continent, shipping was a killer because I'm currently in Australia so the total came to $320.

          My loose TT speedy cost me the most at $90 but it was over time
          Vintage uniform $35 last year
          Vintage belt $10 about 8 years ago
          vintage quiver $5.00 about 10 years ago
          Speedy vintage doll no grey head $10 (seller listed as a robin so no one bit but me)
          repro boots hat & gloves 30 from Doc and i am still trying to upgrade these to vintage

          after that a distant second was my FF riddler about 10 years ago for $35

            OK, none of the big spenders are coming forward, so I will chime in.

            $11,000 for my carded Ironman, the first time I acquired it.

            The second time I acquired it, I traded 5 green carded Palitoy WGSH, for which I paid approximately $9,500: Spiderman, Superman, Batman, Joker, Human Torch (open card).

              Probably when I picked up all 4 Teen Titans figs - loose. Paid about $850 but it was worth every penny...well not EVERY penny but close-ish.


              BTW - hello fellas! been too long since I've been on this mutha!

                    $175 for a super-mint RM Robin, with a repro mask, but the figure was perfect.

                        Here is a math story problem for you. One more piece of information for you, first: when I had the carded Ironman the first time, I sold it for $16,500. So here is the story problem question: what is my net cost to have the carded Ironman sitting on my toy shelf today?

                              If you had $11,000 to kick around on Mego's, would you buy one carded piece or several carded pieces?
