    What is the most paid for a single part?

    Hi Folks,

    Trying a fun thread Looking at a lot of my figures and wondering how many of you have tried so hard to get that one piece you needed?

    So here goes! What is the most costly single original part you have picked up to make your figure original?

    I've tried to put that information out of my mind. Call it selective retention.

      I think I paid $40 for a Batgirl cowl back at the original MegoCon in 98. I bought it from Mark Huckabone.

      I think that's the most expensive single piece I've gotten...

        I think I paid $ 30 for an original Green Arrow hat. Like Dave Mc, I try to block these things out.

          Well I paid $12 for a Kid Flash glove. The seller has it listed for only a BIN at $25 and I almost bought it but fought off the urge. I even offered them $10 originally but they declined. Apparently they gave up listing it at $25 a month later and set it at $10 for bids. I of course won it. Couldn't fight the urge then.

              I am currently trying to get all original Conan parts, so that is going to probably be a long and pricy affair. So far 30.00 shipped for an original belt and one gauntlet.
              Still need Axe, Boots, other gauntlet, and scabbard. Interesting topic though. At least I don't feel like the only sucker out there.

                Like Ant, I dropped $40 to get an bow. I had one, but it was broken and driving me nuts. GA is done, but now I need to find another to mint-up my Speedy.

                  My Andorians gloves, and later his boots. I can't recall how much but both times I got hit with a customs charge on top of the original cost.

                        Yeah the Kiss figures are probably the best example of that

                          $50 for a Humanoid Bootie. For a while I had it stuck to the wall in a comic bag with a note saying "I paid $50 for this!"
